The rugby shirt that earns its keep at both ends of the wardrobe.

Flamé cotton is woven from deliberately irregular yarn — the result is a slightly slubby surface texture and a comfortable stretch that a plain jersey cannot match. Drake’s have used it here in navy and yellow chevron, a pattern drawn from the sporting tradition the shirt inhabits. The collar, borrowed from Drake’s ‘English Classic’ shirts, sits with the kind of authority that comes from tailoring experience. A covered placket with rubber buttons and a slightly trimmer body with higher armholes complete a shirt designed to go further than most of its category.

Michael Hill’s argument is simple: weekend chinos, old jeans, or — if needed — under a jacket or even a suit. The rugby shirt, done properly, moves between those contexts without asking you to think about it.

The sort of piece you can live in. His words, not ours.

Product Details

Drake’s was founded in London in 1977. Under the creative direction of Michael Hill, it has grown from a neckwear specialist into one of the most considered British menswear houses working today — a maker with genuine manufacturing depth and an unhurried focus on quality over novelty. The rugby shirt sits naturally within that story.

The rugby shirt begins with utility. Thick cotton, a reinforced collar, a body designed to absorb contact without falling apart — the practicality was always the point. What Drake’s has done is carry that practicality into civilian life and make it worth thinking about. This version begins with the cloth.

Flamé cotton is woven using deliberately irregular yarn. The irregularities — the slight lumps and variations in weight — create a slubby surface texture and a natural stretch that sets it apart from plain cotton jersey. The navy and yellow chevron pattern is woven into the cloth before construction, which gives the contrast a depth that print cannot replicate. The result is a fabric that reads as considered rather than decorative.

The construction is consistent with the Drake’s approach to the category. The collar references the ‘English Classic’ shirt — the polo collar that sits with more structure than a typical knitwear neckline. A covered placket runs from collar to chest, closed with rubber buttons. The body is cut slightly trimmer than a traditional rugby shirt, with higher armholes, which is what allows Michael Hill to recommend it under a jacket without qualification.

Style With

Wear over an Oxford cloth button-down — the navy keeps the palette clean and the covered placket sits well with a collar underneath. Works equally on its own with selvedge denim or cream chinos. Canvas trainers and a field jacket for the weekend; loafers and a blazer if the day requires it.

The flamé texture means the shirt holds visual interest without needing to be paired carefully. Keep the rest of the outfit simple. Heavy knitwear underneath on colder days — the higher armholes handle the extra layer cleanly.

Navy and yellow. Harder to overthink than it looks.
