Hard-Wearing Custom Rugby Jerseys

Made to be pulled and gripped

Our match jerseys are 280 to 320gsm tight-weave polyester or poly-cotton. The weight has nothing to do with warmth; it stops the fabric from stretching out for good the first time an opponent grabs a fistful.

We reinforce the shoulder and side seams with a double row of stitching and tape them where the load is greatest. The collar is cut low and tight with a reinforced facing, because a loose collar gives opponents a handle and a torn collar finishes the jersey.

Hoops and color blocks are separate cut-and-sewn panels instead of print, so the color holds up to abrasion that would rub a print away. It takes more work, and it is the correct way to make the garment.

Training tops are built differently: lighter, sublimated and meant to be replaced. We would not sell match-weight fabric for a drill top.

Built this way: traditional button-collar match shirts with a reinforced collar, hooped match kits with cut-and-sewn panels and lighter sublimated drill tops.

World Rugby and union regulations

Player clothing falls under World Rugby Law 4, which bans anything that could cause injury, such as rigid trims and exposed fastenings. Most unions call for numbers 1 to 15 on the back at a set height, with replacements numbered from 16 upward. Front and sleeve sponsor placement is generally limited by the union, not by World Rugby. Include your union's current kit regulations with the brief and we will build to them.

Match cut or club cut

Rugby comes in two fits, a tight modern match cut and a looser traditional club cut. They are separate patterns with a significant difference between them, so tell us which one you want instead of leaving it to assumption. Squads often put forwards and backs in different fits, which is standard practice and adds no cost. Size blocks in centimeters and inches

Fit in practice: V-neck contact jerseys in the tight match cut.

The rugby sides we supply

We make rugby kit for clubs ordering match and training sets at the same time, university and college programs, sevens squads that need a quick turnaround for tournaments, and schools dressing several age groups in one identity.

Often ordered: piped match shorts to complete the set and holdall kit bags with room for boots and a full match kit.
