Why we made it

Built from a love of the game.

I played a lot of sports, but rugby always had a special place in my heart.

When it came time to add a rugby to the collection, I knew I had to go all in, so I overbuilt it. To me it stands for more than the game. It’s my gratitude for the camaraderie and friendships formed through sport.

My hope is that it resonates with some of you too: the teams you played on, the friends you made there, and the way the game shaped who you are. It’s right there on the patch.

The fabric and fit

Substance without the stiffness.

Our double jersey keeps the weight and character of an old rugby shirt but feels softer and smoother, so you'll want to wear it every day. The cut leaves room through the chest and shoulders with a cleaner line through the body. All the substance of a real rugby, without the boxiness.
