In 1871, 21 rugby clubs came together in a restaurant in Pall Mall, London, to codify the sport they loved, creating a unified set of rules for the first time. Nearly 150 years later, Black & Blue 1871 have created a series of classic rugby shirts inspired by the style of those original clubs, fusing a traditional look with exceptional-quality heavy slub cotton. Designed in the UK and manufactured with care and precision in Portugal, these vintage shirts have been built to withstand the rigours of everyday modern life, whether you’re hard at work at home or cheering on your local team at the pub.
