Opensider Classic Rugby Shirt

Crafted from a thick 300gsm 100% organic cotton jersey, the Opensider Classic Rugby Shirt in Forest eliminates the issue of thin long sleeve tops losing shape after repeated laundry cycles. This traditional athletic shirt incorporates a structured white twill collar and a rubber button hidden placket, designed to handle daily wear with ease. The deep forest green shade brings a grounded, natural tone to your outfit, while double stitched seams provide long term structural integrity.

At Urban Industry We Recommend These For

• Cooler spring, autumn, and winter days when a substantial cotton top is required.
• Casual weekend outings, spectator sports, and outdoor leisure activities.
• Layering setups beneath canvas worker jackets, denim coats, or heavy fleeces.

Fit & Sizing Recommendations

• Designed by the brand to run in a classic, comfortable athletic fit.
• Opensider recommends opting for your regular chest size, as the cut leaves ample room for a lightweight undershirt.
• Side vents and drop shoulders allow total freedom of upper body movement.

Washing & Care Instructions

• Machine wash on a cool 30 degree gentle cycle to preserve the rich forest green tone.
• Wash inside out with similar dark garments to keep the white twill collar clean and bright.
• Line dry naturally at room temperature, keeping away from tumble dryers to prevent shrinkage.
• Iron on a medium setting on the reverse side, avoiding direct heat on the rubber buttons.

Opensider Classic Rugby Shirt - Our FAQs

1. Why are flexible rubber buttons used instead of standard plastic ones? Classic rugby shirts use rubber buttons because they flex under tension, preventing breakage and reducing impact pressure.
2. How heavy is the organic cotton fabric on this shirt? It uses a dense 300gsm cotton jersey, making it noticeably thicker and sturdier than standard long sleeve t shirts.
3. How can I prevent the green dye from staining the white collar? Washing the shirt inside out on a cold 30 degree cycle prevents dye migration during the wash.
4. Is there any bold branding on the exterior? No, it maintains a clean heritage look with minimal external branding.
5. Will this cotton shirt shrink after the first wash? Following the care instructions and washing cold at 30 degrees ensures minimal dimensional change.
