THE ADRIATIC RUGBY SHIRT
Developing a rugby shirt has been high on our list of priorities at AWMS. A quintessential piece of British kit with collegiate origins, and a staple of flexible leisurewear - able to stand in for an Oxford shirt under a sports coat or in place of a sweatshirt on a chilly evening.
The inspiration for the colourway came from a Slim Aarons' snap of young sailors on a cruise around the Adriatic, the tricolour of white, varsity red and baritone black of their shirts providing a bold pop against the azure of the sea and sky.
For manufacturers, we sought out the makers who supply the Oxbridge university teams and British Armed Forces, and used their traditional baggy block. The body is a soft heavy gauge "Sportphlex' cotton mix cloth - an early performance fabric developed in the 1950s, finished with white herringbone cotton twill placket, knitted cuffs and rubber buttons.
