Opensider Classic Rugby Shirt

Heavy weight 300gsm 100% organic cotton jersey ensures the Opensider Classic Rugby Shirt in Blue/Green Wide-Stripe offers structural longevity without sacrificing soft skin feel. Designed to solve the issue of casual tops warping after routine washing, this traditional long sleeve rugby features a crisp white twill collar and a concealed rubber button placket. The bold horizontal blue and green wide stripe layout delivers a clear sporting heritage look, while double needle stitched main seams provide reliable tear resistance during active movement.

Fit & Sizing Recommendations

• The brand notes that this garment is cut for a classic, relaxed athletic fit.
• Opensider advises to choose your usual chest size for a comfortable drape, or size up for an oversized profile.

Washing & Care Instructions

• Machine wash on a cool 30 degree gentle cycle to preserve the rich green and blue dyes.

• Line dry naturally at room temperature, keeping clear of 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 are the front buttons made from rubber instead of plastic? Traditional rugby tops use flexible rubber buttons to prevent cracking or injury during physical contact.
2. How thick is the 300gsm cotton fabric on this rugby shirt? It is a heavy, substantial knit that feels much thicker and sturdier than standard everyday t shirts.
3. How do I stop the blue and green colours bleeding onto the white collar? Washing the shirt inside out on a cold 30 degree setting locks in the body dyes safely.
4. Does this shirt feature any prominent external branding? It retains a clean, unbranded exterior layout that keeps the focus on the wide stripe pattern.
5. Is there enough room to wear an undershirt beneath this top? The relaxed athletic cut leaves plenty of space for a light base layer t shirt.
