Re: Madras Madness!
Do youse blokes have to buy off the UK site?
The USA site has shorts at $45usa but your UK site has them at equivalent to $62usa.

Re: Madras Madness!
Isn't it something to do with Import duty? If I buy something made and sold in the EU I can get it cheaper here (Norway) that the country of origin. I have to pay duty on it though. But not always, with luck.

Re: Madras Madness!
This thread has just reminded me of something to do: I bought a J.Press madras shirt from ebay, the seller advised that although it was tagged an xxl, was in fact only 16" neck. On arrival in turned out to be a massive 17.5/18" neck with body to suit.....it's now in the washer on a short 90 degree wash. Let's see what happens after that.

Re: Madras Madness!
Google images. The bottom one are Gitmans from what looks like their factory.
Vintage Madras comes in & out of the vintage room at JS & I also have some to off load via there...
Landsend is also a great source for new. Probably the best for the price / quality ratio in new Madras shirts ?

How do we like our Madras here ?
Murky or crisp & vibrant ? Both belong.

Re: Madras Madness!
I am starting to feel tempted by a madras jacket but I not sure how they fit into the context of the UK.

Re: Madras Madness!
These are no good to Oliver... so some real old, but near new condition Madras beach shorts. Look to about a 34.

Re: Madras Madness!
Been trying to find one for a while, still empty handed though. Most searches come up too big, so at the minute, just being patient. Have a lovely gingham sport coat and a sweet unlined stripe, but just need to add a madras to the list, something that can look a little more 'worn'.
