Madras
is a lightweight
cotton fabric with
patterned texture, used primarily for summer
clothing -- pants, shorts, dresses and jackets. The
fabric takes its name from the former English name
of the city of Chennai,
India.
One style popular during the 1960s was called bleeding Madras. It used dyes that were not colorfast in a typically plaid design, resulting in bleeding and fading colors that yielded a new look to the fabric each time it was laundered.
