There is something deeply satisfying about a proper, heavy-duty rugby shirt. This one is made from a weighty slubbed cotton that actually feels like it can handle a bit of weather, rather than those flimsy high-street versions. The texture has that slightly uneven, characterful slub finish that only gets better the more you wash it. Design-wise, it keeps things traditional with a clean white collar, a covered placket to hide the rubberised buttons, and a classic fit that gives you breathing room without looking sloppy. The bold navy and cobalt stripes feel heritage but fresh, finished with a subtle embroidered logo on the chest. Throw it on over a white tee with some wide-leg corduroys or beat-up denim. It is the easiest thing to grab for Sunday pub lunches or chilly morning walks when a sweater feels too formal.
