Opensider Classic Rugby Shirt

Solving the problem of light long sleeve tops warping after routine wash cycles, the Opensider Classic Rugby Shirt in Forest Multi-Stripe is knitted from a substantial 300gsm 100% organic cotton jersey. A contrasting white twill collar and covered rubber button placket supply an authentic field shape that holds its structure. The multi tonal forest stripe pattern adds rich visual character, while reinforced double needle stitching along the main seams guarantees long term durability.

Washing & Care Instructions

• Machine wash on a cool 30 degree gentle setting to preserve the forest green multi stripe tones.

• 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 feature rubber buttons instead of standard plastic ones? Traditional rugby tops use rubber buttons because they flex under pressure, preventing breakage and reducing impact discomfort.
2. How thick is the organic cotton fabric used on this shirt? It features a heavy 300gsm cotton jersey, making it noticeably thicker and sturdier than standard everyday long sleeve tees.
3. What steps prevent the dark green dyes from bleeding onto the white collar? Washing the garment inside out on a cold 30 degree cycle locks the body dyes into the fibers.
4. Is there any large external branding on this rugby top? No, it maintains a clean heritage look with minimal outer branding so the stripe pattern remains the focus.
5. Will I have enough room to wear a base layer underneath? The athletic fit provides plenty of space across the shoulders and chest to layer a light t shirt underneath.
