Taylor Stitch is taking a heritage staple and making it feel relevant again. Their new Rugby Shirt ($128) captures that classic pitch-side grit but refines it with a tailored fit that actually looks good at the bar or in the office. It’s built from a heavy 12-ounce organic cotton jersey that feels substantial the second you put it on, but a special wash gives it that broken-in, “favorite shirt” feel right out of the box.
The details are where this thing really shines. You get a contrasting 8-ounce cotton twill collar and authentic rubber buttons—the kind originally designed to survive a scrum without shattering. Heavyweight ribbed cuffs and natural twill tape detailing add a touch of structure and class to an otherwise rugged build. It’s the kind of piece designed to last for years, not just a single season.
This is a small-batch run, which means once they’re gone, they’re usually gone for good. If you’re looking for an effortlessly stylish layer that can handle real-life wear and tear, this is it. Snag one here before the limited quantities dry up.
