Description

The Original Madras Trading Co. No.5 Classic Button Down in the Tan Blue Check Natural Dye and Raw Yarn Selvedge Stout Weave is a Division Road exclusive 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, either naturally dyed or left completely raw to create a sophisticated, multi-dimensionally textured check in shades of blue, tan, and vintage white for 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 No.5 Classic Button Down comes in a traditional fit with signature details like a button-down collar, single chest pocket, box-pleat back with locker loop, adjustable buttoned pleated cuffs, natural mother-of-pearl buttons, and is finished with the hallmark OMTC metal last button. Representing three generations of heritage production, each piece is crafted with care using single and double-needle construction and felled seams throughout, along with the signature handwoven selvedge line side gusset, reflecting the rare quality of cloth-to-garment production.
