Genuine preppy Madras ( named from Madras, India) is made of multiple squares of plaid that are not color fast. The fabric will bleed (color dye). In high school, 1960s, my favorite skirt was a reversible denim to Madras. A white blouse and Madras shorts outfit is my fashion definition of summer.
Finding Madras in a thrift store has been very difficult. This year, I bought a fantastic pair of Madras shorts. Thrilled I be.
