Chaps by Ralph Lauren - Patchwork Madras S/S Shirt

An Icon of American fashion founded in 1967, Ralph Lauren is a household name at this point. The brand combines collegiate classics, western-wear, modern downtown styles and all-American sporting looks.

Chaps, a sub-brand of Ralph Lauren Corporation, was launched in 1978 as a more accessible, casual line. Originally, it was designed to appeal to the American middle class, offering a more affordable take on Ralph Lauren's classic style. Over time, Chaps was licensed to other companies for manufacturing, marketing, and distribution, and is now managed by OVED Group. 

This exceptional shirt is crafted from a unique patchwork of madras fabrics. Madras is a very traditional Indian textile, handwoven using yarns dyed with natural pigments. The result of such hand-crafting is a fabric that is "guaranteed to bleed" (as Brooks Brothers marketed it in the 60s) and produce the incredible muted tones you see here. Patchwork Madras gained popularity for its loud aesthetic, all while being a fantastic use of scrap fabrics.
