The rugby shirt has steadily become a staple of our collections. and this time around is no different. Cut from a luxurious pure wool. our idiosyncratic take on an enduring bit of vintage sportswear has a substantial feeling to it. as well as a certain tactility.

For our rugbies. we created a pattern inspired by our shirts the collar in particular takes its cues from our 'English Classic' style by working closely with our shirtmakers to create a fit that is a bit less baggy and sporty. and more refined and elegant.

The resulting pattern was one with a slightly trimmer body and a higher armhole. making the shirts perfect for wearing with tailoring. unlike their more traditionally shaped cousins.

As Creative Director Michael Hill puts it: These are great to wear on the weekend with a pair of old chinos. or a pair of jeans. but I think it's a piece that also serves as a bridge to more tailored looks. You can wear it under a jacket. or with a suit even. and it doesn't look out of place. Rugby shirts work hard. and I think ultimately that's the hallmark of a really indispensable item for a lot of men. You can live in them.
