Hand-Made Bleeding Madras Plaid Fabric by yard is available at Etsy, beat the upcoming summer with this cool fabric.
I am not sure if we should treat this as spam or not ?
Obviously we know about this Hand loomed bleeding Madras from the quite pushy awfuldisco kid.
I presume this is him again trying yet another sales pitch.
Hello,
This is posted by the manufacturer of the hand-made bleeding madras and not by others.

it would appear everyone is 'mad' for madras.
I think there must be some chemical in the dying process that makes you go bonkers.
^
"Double dipped for extra potency" as my 'hairy old hippy' hallucinogen supplier used to say
Because of the chemicals only the bleeding madras vanished after 1970's, but now only vegetable dyes are used in the organic cotton yarn. Hence the whole fabric is organic.
^ can we have some links please Nillam.
They'd better not lead to Loominous tho'

I am not sure who is aucociscokid, but a person by name Aleck Grishkevich used to procure this fabric from me, but for quite sometime there is no news from him.
Hi Nillam,
Is this material suitable for sport coats?
Thank you in advance.
Hello Chief,
Yes, this fabric is suitable for Sport Coat.
So who is the poor sod that will take on the task of making a FNB popover in this madras?
I found a nice article about madras in the following link.

How to wear Madras
Other than for shirts, pants and sport coats, the pattern also makes for great accessories such as ties, bow ties and pocket squares. Because of its bold nature, it pairs best with muted solids. So if you have a Madras jacket, pair it with a solid tie, a solid oxford cloth shirt and contrasting pants.
When worn as shorts, it pays to pick up one of the main colors of the Madras and wear it with a solid polo shirt in the same color. Madras shirts should be paired with solid, casual sport coats in light colors. Green can also work great with Madras ties or shirts.
Try to avoid wearing Madras with other plaids, glenchecks, paisleys or stripes because it is simply too much pattern. Every once in a while, you will see somebody in a Madras suit with tie or bow tie in the same fabric. To me that is beyond good taste, but as always, to each their own. Personally, I think patchwork Madras is even more difficult to combine because it stands out even more, so be cautious when you are tempted to invest in a patchwork garment.
Does anyone else have an image in their mind of ausciokid sitting at his computer trying to write in broken English?
Such a cynical start to spring!
