We can never work out why more people don't wear rugby shirts in the outdoors, because they're seriously practical. The boxy fit gives you plenty of room for movement – especially combined with the underarm gussets and side vents. A soft button placket collar keeps the sun and weather off your neck, while ribbed sleeve cuffs make it easy to push your sleeves up when you need to. This one's made in a tough 9oz cotton jersey knit that'll stand up to plenty of punishment on the trail or the climbing wall, and because those folk at Seattle-based KAVU are ever-thoughtful, they've added a couple of extra upgrades too. There's a handy zip pocket on the left chest, while a drop-tail hem at the back should help prevent unintentional 'builder's bum' moments

Now here’s an origin story for you. Back in the early nineties, fishing boat skipper Barry Barr was fed up with wearing cheap trucker caps that got snatched off his head in storms, never to be seen again. He decided to make a super-durable cap that wouldn’t blow off whatever the weather, and he did it by stitching the webbing material from a Teva sandal all the way around the crown. Turned out his ‘Strapcap’ was a hit, and KAVU was born.
From humble beginnings flogging Strapcaps out of the boot of his car in Seattle, Barry’s since expanded to produce a whole array of durable outdoor kit with a laid-back, van-lifer vibe. The KAVU range takes in everything from sling bags to swim shorts, and while they’re serious about producing great gear that’s made to last, they’re also not afraid to have a laugh. Their prints are bold, playful, and in some cases so loud that they’ll take some considerable chutzpah to carry off – but that’s what makes them so much fun.
