Superior quality with a timeless style
The Six Nations is as old as rugby itself, with 1871 seeing both the inaugural game between England and Scotland and the first unified set of rules being established in London. These classic rugby shirts are inspired by those glorified days of pre-professional rugby, fusing that traditional look with exceptional-quality materials for a superior shirt that’s perfect for everyday use. Manufactured in Portugal using a href='/pages/black-blue-heavy-slub-cotton' target='_blank' title='Black & Blue | Heavy Slub Cotton' rel='noopener noreferrer'>heavy duty slub cotton, they combine vintage dyes with a distressed wash to create a pre-worn look and feel straight out of the packaging.
