Carhartt WIP Waffle Rugby Shirt

Kitted out in a heavy waffle-textured cotton jersey, the Carhartt WIP Waffle Rugby Shirt in Dark Scarab (Garment Dyed) resolves the problem of lightweight long-sleeve tops feeling flimsy during cooler months. Constructed with a classic twill collar and a concealed button placket, this shirt is garment-dyed to achieve a subtle, pre-worn wash and a softer hand feel. The deep green hue and tactile waffle knit bring structured warmth and an elevated sports-heritage aesthetic to everyday outfits.

Key Features

• Heavyweight 100% cotton waffle knit jersey for warmth, breathability, and deep texture.
• Garment-dyed finish delivering complex tone depth and a broken-in feel.
• Contrast cotton twill polo collar with a hidden button placket.
• Ribbed sleeve cuffs that hold their shape and keep drafts out.
• Side-seam hem vents for fluid movement across the hips.
• Discreet tonal Carhartt WIP 'C' logo embroidered on the chest.
• Durable flatlock stitching along all major stress seams.

At Urban Industry We Recommend These For

• Transitional seasonal wear when you need a top heavier than a standard tee but lighter than a fleece.
• Casual weekend outings, pub visits, and city strolls.
• Layering over light base tees or wearing under heavier winter jackets.
• Anyone wanting a modern take on classic sportswear with a tactile, washed finish.

Fit & Sizing Recommendations

• The brand notes that this garment is cut for a relaxed, easy fit through the body and shoulders.
• Carhartt WIP advises to choose your usual size for a comfortable classic look, or size down if you prefer a trim silhouette.
• Ribbed cuffs keep the sleeves positioned neatly at the wrists without sagging.
• Side splits at the straight hem ensure the fabric drapes naturally when sitting or moving.

Washing & Care Instructions

• Machine wash cold at 30 degrees inside out to safeguard the garment-dyed finish.
• Wash separately during initial launders, as garment-dyed fabrics may shed excess dye.
• Pull into shape while damp and line dry naturally away from direct sunlight.
• Avoid tumble drying and do not bleach to keep the cotton waffle texture crisp.

Carhartt WIP Waffle Rugby Shirt - Our FAQs

1. What does garment-dyed mean for this shirt? Garment-dyeing means the shirt is stitched first and dyed afterwards, resulting in richer color saturation around seams and a softer feel right away.
2. How thick is the waffle fabric? It is a heavy cotton waffle knit that offers noticeable substance and structure compared to smooth jersey long-sleeve t-shirts.
3. Will the Dark Scarab green shade fade over time? Like all garment-dyed clothes, it will develop a subtle, vintage-style wash along the edges as you wear and wash it, adding to its character.
4. Does this rugby shirt have metal or rubber buttons? It features classic tonal buttons tucked cleanly away beneath a concealed front placket for a neat profile.
5. Can I wear this as an outer layer in autumn? Yes, the heavy waffle weave provides enough warmth to function as a light sweater during milder autumn or spring days.
