    The RG is our everyday take on a classic striped rugby shirt — heritage in the details, modern in the finish. Inspired by the colours I grew up with in Newcastle, re-engineered so it doesn’t feel like a replica.

    Read the story behind the RG jersey

     

    Why it’s different

    • Yarn-dyed stripes (pattern knitted in, not printed) for better wear over time

    • Engineered stripe placement mapped by size, so each size looks intentional

    • Black collar + black placket, a deliberate twist on tradition

    • 330gsm heavyweight fabric for structure and durability

    • Embroidered OldNovo script on the chest

       

    Fabric

    • 330gsm cotton/poly blend designed for softness, shape retention and colourfastness

    • Built to handle real life — not just match day

    Fit

    • Traditional standard fit with a longer body (expect a touch of natural shrink after a few washes)

    • Between sizes? Size up for a roomier drape

    Care

    • Cold wash

    • Hang dry / lay flat

    • Skip the tumble dryer to keep it roomier (a gentle dry will tighten slightly)

    Size guide (chest inches)

    Small - 34-36in

    Medium - 38-40in

    Large - 42 - 44in

    XLarge - 46 - 48in

    XXLarge - 50 - 52 inch

    The pit to pit measurement is roughly half of the higher chest measurement. For example, a Large jersey would measure roughly 22" pit to pit.

    If you are between sizes, we would recommend to size up.

     

    FAQ

    Is the RG jersey yarn-dyed or printed?

    Yarn-dyed. The colour is in the yarn and the stripe pattern is knitted in, not printed.

    What does “engineered stripe placement” mean?

    Each size uses a mapped knit layout so the stripe lands consistently across sizes, rather than shifting randomly as the garment scales.

    Is the RG jersey true to size?

    It’s a traditional standard fit with a longer body. If you’re between sizes, size up for a roomier fit.

    Will it shrink?

    A little natural shrink is normal after a few washes. Cold wash + air dry keeps the fit roomier.

    Is it officially connected to RGS?

    No — it’s colour-inspired, not official or endorsed.
