What is Chambray?

The ancestor of chambray fabric, 14th-century French cambric, was a durable and soft linen fabric produced by a Baptist from Cambrai.

Chambray fabric, a continuation of cambric, gained a new look by being woven with colored warp and white weft. Chambray later gained popularity in the production of uniforms and work clothes throughout the 19th century.
