Polo Ralph Lauren - Patchwork Madras "Blake" 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.

Madras is a very traditional Indian textile, handwoven with 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 soon after for its loud aesthetic, all while being a fantastic use of scrap fabrics.

This shirt from the Polo line is truly a beautiful sight. It features their "Blake" silhouette seen throughout the 90s and early 2000s, characterised by the relaxed fit, loose sleeve, and button-down collar. The fabric has developed a perfectly muted tone, a truly exquisite example of this fabric.
