Knitted Cotton Rugby in Navy & Grey Marl Stripes
Spotlight on: The Rugby shirt
13 February 2026
The Rugby shirt is a signature style that holds a special place in our hearts at Crew. It's part of our heritage and coastal roots - the centrepiece of our first collection in 1993. Over the years, we've played around with sleeve lengths and colourways, but the authentic details remain unchanged: from the twill collars, rubberised buttons, branded embroidery under the collar, and our crossed oars embroidered on the chest. Keep reading to delve into the archives, as we explore what makes our rugby shirt so iconic.

Our men's rugby line-up belongs in every off-duty wardrobe. Styles like our Knitted Cotton Rugby Shirt offer a modern update to the classic yet still featuring signature details like a herringbone placket detailing and our iconic crossed oars embroidery. We also have freshly updated styles for this season. Take our Chambray-Collar Rugby, it’s a rugby-sweatshirt hybrid, combining two of your favourite Crew styles. These supersoft classics are perfect with chinos, jeans, or shorts. Just add trainers for a winning look.
Timeless and versatile, the Rugby shirt is a failsafe addition to every wardrobe. It's the little details that make ours so iconic – we've thought of them all. Our new season styles offer a fresh take on the classic. Take our Cotton Rugby Jumper, for example, we've designed it in a navy and light blue stripe that feels fresh yet nods to our coastal heritage – and perfect for dialling up your varsity style. Our women's collection also features knitted rugby shirts in bold colours, just the thing for brighter days. They’re the perfect teammate to jeans and trainers, always.
