Rugby shirts always have and always will be a firm favourite here at TRiCKETT as they are proper versatile. They seem to combine the smart/casual etiquette of a polo shirt, the heft of a sweatshirt, the formality of a shirt and the comfort of a long-sleeved t-shirt. Don’t worry though, these aren’t the type of rugby shirts that your drunk uncle would wear to a barbecue, these are much more stylish.
With rugby being a very British sport, it seemed only right to make them in this country. When we first started out, the country was awash with great, 100% cotton rugby shirt manufacturers. As the game moved over to polyester fabrics and sportswear companies chased profits, thankfully our friends Roy and Helen stuck to the traditional cotton fabric worn for chasing eggs. They are now the only dedicated rugby shirt manufacturer in the country.
The fabrics are knitted, finished, cut and sewn by Helen and Roy in their small workshop in the Midlands. What these two don’t know about traditional rugby shirts isn’t worth knowing. Roy can even remember the stripes that all the private schools and universities across the land use and he hasn’t made their shirts for decades. Each shirt is hand-numbered and comes with a lovely woven label, just to make it extra special.
The shirts that Roy and Helen make for us are made to our specification and, by crikey, are they lovely. They feature the traditional collar, three-button placket, rubber buttons and a split reinforced hem. They are made from a custom 100% cotton which is manufactured just for us and is finished with a lovely soft handle. The arm hole is a little higher and the sleeves a little trimmer so that you don’t have flappy sleeves… no-one likes that.
This particular rugby shirt is inspired by a family photo I saw on someone’s Instagram years ago. I had been searching for years to try and identify who the team was or whether it was just bought from a random department store in the ’80s. I had no luck, so in typical TRiCKETT style, I decided to make my own. This has a navy blue body (which is slightly lighter than many navy blues) with a pink and grey hoop around the chest and arms, which can quite easily be dressed up or down depending on how you like things to look.
I think this can literally be worn anywhere and you can pretend that this is the shirt of some elite rugby team that you played for. You would’ve made it to being a professional, but it was your pesky knees which let you down!
So put your layering worries to bed and enjoy your new favourite item of clothing.
