Summer shirt fabric (6)

I believe the answer is:

madras

(Other definitions for madras that I've seen before include "Indian city now known as Chennai, and medium hot curry" , "Kind of curry" , "Former name for Chennai" , "Capital city" , "Tamil Nadu capital; a hottish curry" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
