Description

The Original Madras Trading Co. x Division Road No.248 DR Field Pocket Utility Shirt in the Olive and Indigo Stripe 10 oz. Dobby Twill Weave Selvedge Denim is a collaboration that transforms antique methods into a modern ensemble. This shirt is vertically produced in Madras, India, using an all-season selvedge cloth hand-woven from 100% Organic Cotton two-ply high-twist yarns, dyed in indigo in tinted shades of saturation to create a sophisticated, multi-dimensionally textured stripe using an antique twill dobby loom, resulting in a green-blue-based charcoal and white stripe denim that is elevated from the ancient and will evolve with the wearer. Authentic Madras is a pure Indian cotton, yarn-dyed plain weave that's woven by a single artisan on a handloom, creating subtle irregularities, rich color, and unique patterns that mechanized weaving can't replicate. OMTC's fully vertical production preserves a human-scale textile tradition for new-classic shirting. The Division Road adapted No.248 DR Field Pocket Utility Shirt comes in a traditional fit with vintage-inspired, function-forward details like a point collar, a buttoned throat latch, buttoned flap patch chest pockets, a box-pleat back, adjustable buttoned pleated cuffs, and undyed natural corozo buttons, and is finished with the hallmark OMTC metal last button. Representing three generations of heritage production, each piece is crafted with care using triple chainstitched felled seams throughout, along with the signature handwoven selvedge line side gusset, reflecting the rare quality of cloth-to-garment production.
