Share this blog post
Hello. This is Tamiya from ApparelX!
ApparelX has received many new textile arrivals from Chambray Co., Ltd., a company known for yarn-dyed shirt textiles.
From flannel developed by studying vintage shirts from the 1960s to satin made with GOTS-certified organic cotton and recycled polyester, we have a range of materials that are easy to use for shirt, blouse, and casual wear product planning.
This time, along with textiles recommended by the manufacturer representative, we will introduce the features of the new products.
What is shirt textile maker Chambray?
Since its founding in 1984, Chambray Co., Ltd. has been dedicated to making high-quality products, focusing on yarn-dyed shirt textiles. Based on extensive experience, knowledge, information, and a huge archive, the company creates check and stripe patterns, and also places emphasis on texture while producing casual textiles at factories in Japan and overseas.Its key features are textiles made with environmental impact, comfort, and trends in mind, allowing them to be worn and cherished for a long time.
In addition to its original collection, Chambray also develops three fabric brands.
|THE STATES MADE® , which recreates vintage materials using American-grown cotton
THE STATES MADE® is a highly detailed product made by actually buying vintage clothing and creating items inspired by it. Levi’s sometimes creates products inspired by old Levi’s pieces, and this line has that kind of feel—something that fans will really appreciate.
|REFABRISH®, made using recycled polyester as a raw material
REFABRISH® is a coined word combining Refurbish and Fabric. Refurbish means to renew or refinish.
Using recycled polyester as a raw material,
we wanted to create a material that renews values by adding a little ingenuity and essence
so the wearer can feel comfortable and spend each day happily.
We propose standard materials that can be worn for 10 years or more and will be loved for a long time.
As explained above, creating standard items that will be loved for a long time is something everyone who makes clothes aspires to. Please try making standard items with high-quality materials.
|Melange series using 100% Organic Cotton certified by GOTSOrgamix™
Orgamix™ is spun from 100% organic cotton top-dyed yarn in original nuanced colors.
It is characterized by the softness unique to top-dyed yarn and its deep melange feel.
It has passed GOTS certification, has low environmental impact, and also considers the people involved in cotton cultivation.
A material that blends our dedication with the needs of the times.
All of these are textiles made with environmental impact, comfort, and trends in mind, and can be worn and cherished for a long time.
Introducing the manufacturer representative’s recommended textiles from the new arrivals
These are recommended products that the manufacturer representative actually selected from the new items. This time, we were also able to hear the manufacturer representative’s recommended points and received permission to publish them, so we would like to introduce them here. Product samples of the recommended items are also included, so please use them as a reference for texture and more!
This textile is made from 100% American-grown cotton, analyzed by dismantling a vintage flannel shirt produced in the 1960s to study yarn shape and density. This textile, with fine warp yarns and thick weft yarns, has been brushed to create a unique soft texture, and like the vintage piece it was based on, has been finished into a dense, warm, and durable textile. It is made for long-term wear, so you can also enjoy the changes that come with age. *If ordering by the roll, please enter 60 as the quantity. Roll quantity set. Hangtags and woven labels are available.
From THE STATES MADE. We purchased a vintage green flannel shirt made in the 1960s, disassembled it, studied its yarn shape and density, and used that inspiration to create it anew, adding color variations as well. A meticulously crafted textile designed to stand out even among checks.
It is very pleasant to the touch and, while retaining the charm of the old, is interpreted in a modern way, making it a very high-quality textile.
Developed an original yarn blended with recycled polyester and rayon. Attractive for its elegant sheen and fluid texture. Quick-drying and resistant to wrinkling even after washing, so it is easy to care for and ideal for shirts and blouses. Available in a wide range of colors and can be worn unisex. *If ordering by the roll, please enter 60 as the quantity. Roll quantity set
While many items are casual, this product is finished in a dressier way by using satin. Because recycled polyester is blended with rayon, it has an excellent feel against the skin. It is suitable for shirts and blouses, but because it is offered unisex, it would also be lovely to make high-quality pajamas from it.
A traditional Indian Madras pattern expressed in trendy color combinations. Uses GOTS-certified organic cotton. We also offer 1SG041 (solid) in the same QUA. *If ordering by the roll, please enter 60 as the quantity. Roll quantity set * Air permeability 200.6 cm3 / (cm3・s)

Available in two options: madras check and solid. It is GOTS-certified organic cotton material. It is thin and breathable, which is its key feature. The pattern is easy to use in madras style, yet it is a beautifully interpreted textile with a modern feel. The solid version also comes in many colors and seems easy to use.

Were you able to get a sense of Chambray’s appeal? All of these textiles are simple, yet carefully made.
In recent years, rather than easy-to-understand product making, there has been a trend toward valuing the inherent quality and beauty of the material itself. Because we live in a society of mass consumption, I feel that the consumer trend of cherishing familiar things will become even stronger in the future.
Recently there has also been a trend toward relaxed styles using patterns, and there are materials that could be useful not only for shirts but also for things like high-quality striped pants with a pajama-like feel. Separate from trends, there are also many high-quality textiles that are not affected by the times.
Seeing is believing. First, please request the textile and try it with a sample.
