The Heritage Line: Heavyweight Cotton Rugby Shirts

Premium collection of Heritage Line rugby shirts featuring classic horizontal stripes, reinforced polo collars, and heavy-duty cotton fabric for elite sports clubs and private label brands.

Build Your "Old Money" or Streetwear Aesthetic.

For fashion brands and corporateย items, the standard “sporty” look isn’t enough. You need texture, weight, and history. While retailers likeย Rugby Importsย orย World Rugby Shop offer a variety of traditional cotton rugby shirts, they sell finished goods. We manufactureย yoursโ€”from scratch.

Our heritage line is crafted for those who demand the appeal of authentic vintage rugby jerseys from the golden era of rugby.These shirts, often styled as a classic vintage rugby polo, are versatile enough to be worn every day, not just on the pitch.

Fabric Engineering

We use premium cotton and poly-cotton blends ranging from 280gsm to a massive 450gsm. This isn't just a shirt; it's a garment that holds its shape year after year.

Authentic Details

True to tradition, we offer features like traditional rubber buttons, herringbone tape plackets, and reinforced triple-stitched seams at high-stress points.

Knitting Gauge

Unlike simple cut and sew shops, we utilize specialized flat-knitting machines to create authentic collar and cuff ribs.

Design Freedom

Rugby jerseys can feature various designs, so we give you full control to choose between classic striped patterns or solid block colors.

“We bring theย storeย quality of brands like Ralph Lauren or Canterbury directly to your warehouse, but with YOUR label on the neck.”

The Pro Line: Performance Sublimation Jerseys

Engineered for the Tackle. Built for the Win.

When theย occasionย calls for high-intensity competition, our performance line rivals big names likeย Triton. We understand thatย rugby jerseys designed for performance should prioritize breathable, moisture-wicking, and abrasion-resistant materials.
