Opensider Classic Rugby Shirt

To eliminate the issue of flimsy tops losing their shape after a few turns in the wash, the Opensider Classic Rugby Shirt in Off White Multi-Stripe is knitted using a dense 300gsm 100% organic cotton jersey. This heritage sportswear piece utilises a structured white twill collar and a covered rubber button placket to maintain a crisp look through constant wear. The off white base features a multi stripe pattern that adds subtle color contrast, backed by double needle stitching along the main stress seams to ensure long term construction strength.

Opensider Classic Rugby Shirt - Our FAQs

1. What is the benefit of using rubber buttons on a rugby shirt? Traditional rugby tops use rubber buttons because they flex under strain, preventing buttons from snapping or digging into your chest.
2. How heavy is the fabric on this long sleeve shirt? It uses a dense 300gsm organic cotton jersey, making it significantly thicker and sturdier than a standard long sleeve t shirt.
3. Will this cotton shirt shrink after laundering? Washing cold on a 30 degree cycle and air drying ensures minimal dimensional shrinkage over time.
4. Is there any bold exterior branding on this piece? No, it maintains a clean, traditional aesthetic with minimal outer branding so the multi stripe pattern stands out.
5. Can I comfortably layer a t shirt underneath? The relaxed athletic cut leaves plenty of room across the shoulders and body for an undershirt.
