The Origin Of the Rugby Shirt - by Rowing Blazers

The rugby shirt has a rich history - from the playing fields of Rugby School to the David Hockney's studio and the style of the Rolling Stones, all the way to the worlds of hip-hop and streetwear. We consider ourselves stewards of the rugby shirt - one of the most versatile pieces of clothing a person can own - and take pride in making ours the old-fashioned way: by hand, from 100% heavyweight cotton, knitted in the traditional 12-gauge style. The rugby shirt is a central part of our DNA at Rowing Blazers, so we paid pilgrimage to the birthplace of this menswear staple.

ROWING BLAZERS is a youthful, irreverent menswear label dedicated to the idea that the classics can be cool; that being authentic and inclusive go hand-in-hand; and that there is an inherent value in doing things the right way - a universal respect for "the real thing." Rowing Blazers is known for its award-winning jackets, rugby shirts, and dad hats. Based in New York, Rowing Blazers is community-minded and iconoclastic; but also the official outfitter for many of the top rowing, rugby and social clubs in the world. In more general terms, it is a brand "for those in the know."
