This is a proper, heavyweight rugby shirt that actually feels like it could survive a scrum, though it is much better suited to a pub garden in Highbury. Cut from a weighty, slubbed cotton, it has that dry, textured hand-feel that only gets better with age and washes. The details are kept clean and traditional. You get a covered placket with rubberised buttons that won't crack, lined with sturdy herringbone tape. The green and ecru stripes give it a classic sporting look without feeling like a costume. Throw it on over a white tee with some relaxed chinos or shorts when the afternoon breeze kicks in. It is a solid, dependable piece designed for easy weekend wear.
