THE FILBERG RUGBY SHIRT (GREEN)
The Rugby Shirt is 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.
For AW24's 'Cascade Modern'' collection, we sought refuge in the temperate rain forests that once dominated the northern portion of our planet along with the typography and clean lines of Canadian mid century design. The Filberg Rugby Shirt takes its name from a powerful logging family on Vancouver Island, who lent their name to both a mountain peak on the island, and a masterpiece of a modern house designed by architect Arthur Erickson in 1958.
The colours we chose for the 'mitred' pattern of this season's rugby shirt were inspired in part by team uniforms of the early 20th century and the often acidic clash of different foliage in the autumnal forest canopy.
For manufacturers, we utilise the makers who supply the Oxbridge university teams and British Armed Forces, and employ 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, split side hems, knitted cuffs and rubber buttons.
The first 20 orders placed ship immediately, the remainder on week of October 28th.
