#449 Italian Heavy Selvedge Chambray

Italy has a special touch with fabric, almost like a unique fingerprint. In our experience, it finds a way of carving out unique colors and textures that are just a bit different than other mills in Japan and the USA. This unique character is perfectly showcased in our latest find from one of the best Italian mills. It starts with a rare composition - a big weight, 10oz selvedge chambray. You don't see many mills going this heavy in selvedge form and results in a wonderfully dense fabric. The classic color-on-white chambray composition highlights an intensely grainy surface that's totally different from a twill. Finally, the warp is dyed to a vivid, pure blue color. It holds up well to the crisp white weft and creates a an overall look that's both old-school and lively. A bold blue selvedge ID caps it off and perfectly complements the base color. This is Italian selvedge at its best.
