Opensider Classic Rugby Shirt - Our FAQs

1. What makes the rubber buttons better than standard plastic buttons? Traditional rugby tops use rubber buttons because they flex under strain, preventing breakage and reducing impact discomfort.
2. How heavy is the fabric used on this rugby shirt? It utilizes a substantial 300gsm organic cotton jersey, making it noticeably thicker and sturdier than a standard t shirt.
3. How do I prevent the dark clay dye from bleeding onto the white collar? Washing the garment inside out on a cool 30 degree setting keeps colours set firmly in the fibers.
4. Is there any large external logo branding on this shirt? No, it maintains an authentic heritage aesthetic with minimal outer branding to focus on the stripe pattern.
5. Can I comfortably layer a t shirt underneath this top? The cut provides adequate room across the chest and shoulders to easily accommodate a base layer.
