From prepsters and Ivy leaguers to dirt-bagging mountain climbers, rugby shirts quickly became a wardrobe essential beyond the scrum as early as the 1960s. Perfect for knocking around and getting into trouble while maintaining a put-together appearance, beyond classic style, true rugby shirts are judged by their durability.
And we can say that Health Knit‘s Hefty Jersey Rugbies in Black and Mocha deliver. Made from 100% cotton, these shirts from the old-school American brand feature all the necessary ingredients to be called a proper jersey, from its contrast button-up collar to its ribbed cuffs. Closed out with split side seams and an embroidered H pennant, just throw it on – whether as a layering device or main event and get reading to take on whatever formation life throws at you.
Available for $137 from Rhythmic Tones.
