Construction notes

How this fabric behaves

Written by our technical team from production data, not marketing copy.

Chambray uses the same indigo warp and white weft idea as denim but in a plain weave at 140 gsm, which makes it soft, breathable and light enough for shirts. The yarn-dyed construction means the colour is in the yarn, so it fades gently rather than crocking.

It is a strong seller for summer shirting and lightweight dresses, and it prints well for capsule collections. We stock 12 indigo and washed-blue shades and can match additional shades at 500 m.

Ordering notes

  • Lab dips are prepared in 7–10 days including courier; one re-dip is free.
  • Bulk production starts after dip approval and runs 18–28 days.
  • Roll lengths are 50–120 m; short rolls are declared on the packing list.
  • Shrinkage is measured to ≤2.5% warp, ≤2% weft on the finished fabric. Cutting allowances should still be confirmed on your own wash standard.

Questions

Chambray 140 FAQ

Specification and ordering questions specific to this fabric.

What is the difference between chambray and denim?

Both use indigo warp and white weft, but chambray is a lightweight plain weave at 100–160 gsm while denim is a heavier twill at 300 gsm and above. Chambray is for shirting; denim is for jeans and jackets.

Does chambray bleed colour?

Yarn-dyed chambray has low crocking and will not bleed onto adjacent fabrics in normal wear. We still recommend a cold first wash and testing against white trims in your wash standard.
