Frequently asked questions

What is a rugby shirt and what makes it different from a regular jumper?

A rugby shirt is a heavyweight long sleeve top with a soft collar and a short buttoned placket, traditionally made from thick cotton or cotton-blend jersey. Unlike a knitted jumper, it's a woven/jersey shirt – warmer and more rugged than a tee but with a collar and structure a regular jumper doesn't have. It's a classic country layer that's both warm and smart.

Are rugby shirts warm enough for cold Australian winters?

For most of the country's winters, yes – the heavyweight fabric provides solid warmth on its own, and a rugby shirt layers easily over a skivvy or under a vest or jacket for extra cold. In the coldest, frostiest conditions, treat it as a mid-layer rather than your only top.

What brands of rugby jumpers does Allingtons stock?

We carry rugby shirts from leading country brands including Thomas Cook, Ringers Western, Pure Western and Bullzye, in classic stripes, plains and country styling for men and women.

Can rugby shirts be worn for both work and casual occasions?

Yes – the rugby shirt is a versatile country staple. It's warm and durable enough for everyday wear around the property, and the collar and tidy styling make it smart enough for the weekend with jeans or moleskins. It bridges work and casual easily.

How do I choose the right size in a rugby shirt?

Rugby shirts are usually worn with a bit of room for layering, so compare your chest measurement to the size chart on the product page and allow space for a skivvy or tee underneath. If you're between sizes or like to layer, size up. Sizing varies by brand, so always check the specific chart.

What is the best way to wash and care for a rugby jumper?

Wash cold on a gentle cycle with like colours, turn it inside out to protect the colour and any embroidery, and avoid bleach. Line dry in the shade rather than tumble drying on high, as heavyweight cotton can shrink. Cool, gentle washing keeps the fabric thick and the colours rich.
