Old Novo Classic Rugby Shirt
Why it works
A classic rugby shirt, built like it should be: heavyweight 280 GSM for real structure, a dense knit that holds its line, and 100% carded cotton for that proper rugby hand feel. Reinforced herringbone tape at the placket for strength when you pull it on, plus ribbed cuffs and side splits for comfort and movement. Preshrunk to minimise surprises after washing.
Design
Clean, wearable branding: Old Novo wordmark embroidered on the left chest, with traditional rugby details kept honest—reinforced placket, rib cuffs, and tidy hem splits.
Fit
Relaxed fit, true to size. If you’re between sizes and want more room, size up.
Feel
Substantial without stiffness. A dry, classic handle that softens with wear—breathes on the walk to the ground and sits smart at the pub.
Care & origin
Machine wash cold with like colours, inside out. Do not bleach. Do not tumble dry. Line dry in shade. Cool iron if needed—avoid chest branding. Made in Bangladesh. Embroidered in the UK.
