Chevy, smiling with arms folded, in a blue rugby shirt with red and yellow stripes and a white collar The rugby shirt is a bit of an unsung gem of the sportswear world. With those crisp collars, they’re a bit smarter than a sweatshirt, and thanks to that thick jersey cotton, they’re more than capable of putting up with a fair bit of scrummage.

They’re not just for eggchasers either, and have been popular with rock climbers, painters and film directors for years now.

Here’s a few examples of them in action.
