Opensider Classic Rugby Shirt

Knitted from a heavy 300gsm 100% organic cotton jersey, the Opensider Classic Rugby Shirt in Green Wide-Stripe solves the problem of lightweight tops stretching out or losing shape after routine laundering. This traditional sporting garment features a crisp white twill collar and a concealed rubber button placket built for daily wear. The bold green wide stripe pattern provides a clean retro field aesthetic, combining natural fabric breathability with a durable double stitched construction that holds up through active use.

Fit & Sizing Recommendations

• Opensider recommends opting for your regular chest size for a comfortable drape, or sizing down for a closer cut.
• Side split hems and soft drop shoulders eliminate waist tightness when sitting down or moving.

Washing & Care Instructions

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

Opensider Classic Rugby Shirt - Our FAQs

1. Why does this shirt use rubber buttons instead of plastic ones? Classic rugby tops feature flexible rubber buttons to prevent them from snapping under strain or causing impact discomfort.
2. How heavy is the cotton jersey fabric on this shirt? It is constructed using a dense 300gsm organic cotton knit, offering a substantial, durable feel compared to standard long sleeve tees.
3. How do I stop the green dye from bleeding onto the white collar? Washing the shirt inside out on a cold 30 degree setting keeps the body dyes locked safely in the fibers.
4. Does this shirt feature any bold exterior branding? It maintains a clean heritage look with minimal external branding to keep the focus on the wide stripe pattern.
5. Is there enough room to wear a basic t shirt underneath? The relaxed athletic cut leaves plenty of space across the shoulders and chest to layer a light base layer underneath.
