One of the most classic prep garments is the rugby shirt. It’s been worn for well over 150 years now, first originating as a thick cotton jersey for rugby players in England to wear as their uniform.
Design choices like an emphasis on durable construction and horizontal color blocks are what continue to make rugby shirts so appealing. It’s why they fell into prep styling in the 1950s and 60s, and it’s why they still have staying power in the everchanging world of men’s fashion today.
What’s unique about the rugby shirt Flint and Tinder just released is they’re made with a more rugged look. Typically, rugby shirts are made with bright colors, but since we’re going into the winter season you’ll want to reach for darker colors and earth tones. Keep the bright colors saved for spring and summer.
The Flint and Tinder Long Sleeve Rugby shirt comes in two colors: Olive Natural and Heather Charcoal. They’re made with 100% jersey cotton and are cut in a thick heavyweight construction to ensure warmth and durability.
We love this rugby because you can style it with a strong canvas jacket or with a crewneck sweatshirt layered over it. And since these rugby tees sport a cold weather-appropriate color, you can pair them with jeans and a pair of strong leather boots.
You can head over to Huckberry right now and check out these rugby tees more in-depth. Don’t debate if you want one for too long, the stock of these bad boys might start to dwindle!
