Rugby shirts were never really gone, but wherever they were, they’ve definitely come back. As many of us look to prep and Ivy League sources of inspiration for the coming season, a good rugby shirt is a great way to channel that energy.

North American Quality Purveyors have their own exciting twist on the rugby shirt available in their shop. Made from Canadian-knit 100% cotton by Barbarian Sportswear, and weighing in at a hefty 12 oz., these are a perfect addition to a cold-weather wardrobe. In two very different colorways, both shirts feature a white contrast collar and a kangaroo pocket. You can rest assured that these will stand the test of time, and a serious beating, both on and off the pitch. Regardless of how you end up wearing them this season, be sure to tuck them into short shorts at least once, the way the old-school rugby players did… please!

Available for $160 CAD (~$125 USD) at NAQP
