Drake’s White And Red Stripe Cotton Rugby Shirt Fashion

The rugby shirt has steadily become a staple of our collections, and this time around is no different. Cut from a densely knitted cotton, our idiosyncratic take on an enduring bit of vintage sportswear has a substantial feeling to it, as well as a certain tactility.

For our rugbies, we created a pattern inspired by our shirts – the collar in particular takes its cues from our ‘English Classic’ style – by working closely with our shirtmakers to create a fit that is a bit less baggy and sporty, and more refined and elegant.

The resulting pattern was one with a slightly trimmer body and a higher armhole, making the shirts perfect for wearing with tailoring, unlike their more traditionally shaped cousins.

As Creative Director Michael Hill puts it: “These are great to wear on the weekend with a pair of old chinos, or a pair of jeans, but I think it’s a piece that also serves as a bridge to more tailored looks. You can wear it under a jacket, or with a suit even, and it doesn’t look out of place. Rugby shirts work hard, and I think ultimately that’s the hallmark of a really indispensable item for a lot of men. You can live in them.”
