Madras Plaid is a type of fabric that [originated] in the Southern city of Madras, India, now known as Chennai, and was woven on looms by hand or machines, and the fabric itself is a pattern of various lines of different colors, intercrossing at pre-designed distances, making a check pattern, but with larger, and not [necessarily] geometrically symmetrical lines.
Madras Plaid was made hugely popular, when initially its colors were not fast, and would bleed (bleeding madras), and hence, after a few washes, the resultant fabric would have a worn out, vintage look, making it very desirable to some fashion aficionados, especially the Ivy league set, the preppy [fashionistas] and among vintage menswear lovers.
Hence, Madras stuck around, and even though, today's Madras is not bleeding, it still is a very desirable clothing item.
Today, the largest collection of Madras Plaid fabric is [available] online at various fabric stores like fabriconlinestore.com and others, and can be ordered by the yard or wholesale.
