FAQ: What was a Madras shirt?

A Madras shirt is a type of short-sleeved Madras shirt crafted from 100% cotton fabric known for its vibrant Madras plaid patterns. Originating from the city of Chennai, formerly known as Madras, these cotton button-down shirts gained popularity due to their colorful designs, lightweight feel, and casual appeal. Ideal for men seeking stylish yet comfortable attire, Madras shirts have become synonymous with relaxed summer fashion.
