Key Technical Features

• Classic Rugby Construction: Designed with a crisp contrast collar and a hidden placket, offering a structured look that stays clean while you’re active.

• Vintage Printed Stripes: The stripes aren't just a pattern; they are printed to create a worn-in, heritage feel that mimics your favourite thrift-store grail.

• Unisex Relaxed Fit: Engineered for everyone. It offers a comfortable, true-to-size fit for men and a stylishly oversized, "borrowed from the boys" look for women.
