Carhartt WIP Waffle Rugby Shirt

Draped in a heavy textured cotton waffle knit, the Carhartt WIP Waffle Rugby Shirt in Palisander (Garment Dyed) solves the issue of light mid-layers lacking substance in unpredictable weather. Designed with a crisp contrasting twill collar and a covered button placket, this long-sleeve top undergoes a custom garment-dyeing process that pre-softens the fabric while highlighting its unique surface texture. The deep, earthy reddish-brown tone provides a warm vintage feel that elevates off-duty dressing.

Key Features

• Heavyweight 100% cotton waffle jersey engineered for breathable warmth and structure.
• Garment-dyed treatment for rich tonal depth and a pre-washed hand feel.
• Contrast cotton twill polo collar backed by a hidden button placket.
• Sturdy ribbed cuffs to keep the sleeves securely in place.
• Side-split straight hem for effortless motion across the hip line.
• Discreet tonal Carhartt WIP 'C' logo embroidered on the left chest.

Washing & Care Instructions

• Machine wash on a cool 30-degree cycle inside out to preserve the garment-dyed color.

• Do not tumble dry or use harsh stain removers that could bleach the Palisander tone.

Carhartt WIP Waffle Rugby Shirt - Our FAQs

1. What kind of color is Palisander? Palisander is a deep, rich reddish-brown earth tone that complements dark denim, olive fatigues, and neutral chinos.
2. How does the garment-dyeing process affect the sizing? Because the shirt is dyed and washed during production, most potential fabric shrinkage has already taken place before you wear it.
3. Is the waffle fabric heavy enough for cold weather? Yes, the dense cotton waffle weave traps air to provide much better insulation than a flat cotton t-shirt.
4. Are the buttons on the front placket visible? No, the front placket is fully concealed to give the shirt a clean, minimal front profile.
5. How do I prevent the contrast collar from discolouring in the wash? Washing on a cold, gentle cycle inside out with mild detergent will keep the contrast collar looking fresh.
