Description

The Original Madras Trading Co. x Division Road No.248 DR Field Pocket Utility Shirt in the Olive Batik Camo Check Stout Weave Selvedge Madras 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 yarns, naturally dyed in a sophisticated, multi-dimensionally textured Madras check in shades of olive, brown, tan, and vintage white, then over-printed with a traditional Batik hand-block resist-dye technique in a forest green camouflage, resulting in a staple piece 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 the cloth-to-garment production.
