I picked up a Madras shirt from these guys, in the spitfire plaid. Authentic madras, very nice colors, and will fade like Madras should. I'm very short of lightweight Summer shirts, so though this a good place to start the collection. Very good customer service, as I was concerned with the generic size guide, for all their shirts, but when I called, they transferred me to their new store in Austin, where the person measured out one for me. I had to go a size up from the onsite guide. Seems the majority of stuff is made in Portugal, but they do have a few items made in the US for Bentin. I normally would avoid India, but figured that is the birthplace of the authentic cloth, so figured I'd give it a try. www.guideboat.com/men-s/tops/men-s-shirts/men-s-indigo-bleeder-madras-shirts-11.html |

Much of what they sell is either MiUSA or MiEU, which is nice to see from a "catalog" company. Like you davelewis, I would usually steer clear of made in India, but since this is where these shirts originated from, I'd go for it too. The indigo is a nice touch and should look even better after a few years. I have a madras shirt from Ratio that I quite like, fabric from India, MiUSA, no indigo though. |

ohh interesting, they got a store in SF so I can go visit and try on in person. I don't own any lightweight shirt minus 2 linen blend chambrays so I could venture out as well.
