Black & Blue 1871 | Heavy Slub Cotton

Getting the balance right between comfort and durability is something most brands get wrong: Poly/Cotton blends may give a soft feel but they wear through more quickly and lack breathability. 100% cotton is the traditional way to go but get the wrong count of cotton and you could get shrinkage and stiffness following washing.

Black & Blue 1871 rugby shirts are made with a 100% slub cotton which offers a wonderfully worn-in texture with a soft finish. The construction of the fabric allows the cotton to feel like new after each wash, without shrinkage or stiffness and because there is no polyester the shirts are durable enough to play 80 minutes in.
