We’re celebrating our rich heritage with a limited-edition 160th Anniversary Collection, featuring pieces inspired by our storied past, reimagined for today. In the 60s and 70s, Madras emerged as a hallmark of American prep, woven into casual wardrobes across the U.S. Known for its vibrant, multicolored plaid pattern, Madras became synonymous with relaxed elegance. Incorporating indigo hues, Madras also reflects our long-standing legacy with denim. Today, we’re introducing a Madras version of our Classic Fit Gold School Chino Short—infusing this classic collection with a vibrant twist.

Look great. Love the shorts.
"The Madras shorts look great and fit well, true to size. Reminds me of when I was a college student in the 80's. So happy that Duck Head brought this style back into production. I really hope they will bring back more of these vintage styles that were so popular back in the day."
