Bleeding Madras is fabric made by weaving together yarns of different colors together, to form a kind of madras or plaid fabric, wherein the dyes used to color the yarns, are all vegetable dyes. Hence, the finished fabric , when washed, lets the colors run or "bleed", giving the fabric almost a new color with every wash.
This property of the fabric is actually a desirable property, and some would buy madras fabric only if it bleeds, and would not consider regular color-fast madras plaid fabric. This is because bleeding madras is considered a novelty item, and a vintage heirloom item.
Bleeding madras is mostly woven on traditional handlooms, and is considered an art form.
Today's madras fabric and clothing is the modern version of madras. These are color-fast yarns of which the fabric is made, and hence no bleeding of colors takes place.
