I quite like these Madras offerings from J. Crew this season:

I may procure the one on the right.

I saw a very nice one at J Crew the other day in long sleeve that was very fitted looking. Might have to grab one.

Bear in mind that they are $70 -- too expensive in my opinion for a shirt that is sized S/M/L. They are full sleeved though, so that is a consideration.

FWIW, I wear a 15.5x34 in regular BB OCBDs and I wear a small in these LEs.


Hard to pass up at that price... Could you post shoulder and chest measurements from your size Small?

Bought a few Lands End Madras shirts. Too large as usual (size small) but I like the fabric and deep colors so I'll have one tailored. Still cheaper than J Crew.

Does anyone have a source for Madras fabric or know of a shirtmaker who carries it? Cego? Chipp2/Winston Tailors?

^Do you know of any source in India? I was in a huge shop in Chennai but saw no Madras fabric, and couldn't seem to describe it well. Calling it "Madras" there didn't seem to distinguish it particularly. Maybe taking a sample with me would help.

If you want to pay the crazy price of $250.
