rugby shirt

Scrum player's top

A rugby shirt is a long-sleeved knit shirt with a collar, originally worn by rugby players.

It typically features horizontal stripes, a rubber-buttoned placket, and heavy cotton fabric built to withstand grabbing.

The style crossed into casual wear in the 1970s and 1980s, becoming preppy fashion: He paired his rugby shirt with khakis.
