What is a classic fit rugby shirt?

It is a roomier cut through the chest and body than Ralph Lauren's custom or slim fits, with a straight hem meant to be worn untucked. It layers easily over a tee.

Is it a real rugby or a polo?

It borrows rugby details: long sleeves, banded cuffs, a spread collar and a button placket. The cotton madras body makes it lighter and more casual than a heavy match rugby.

How should I wash the madras cotton?

Machine wash warm as labeled. Madras cotton can shrink and wrinkle, so wash cold and line dry if you want to keep the fit and the plaid crisp.

Does the plaid pattern match across the placket?

Madras plaids are cut and sewn, so the pattern lines up at the placket and chest but shifts at the side seams. That is normal for a plaid shirt.

What logos are on the chest?

An embroidered American flag and a Polo Sport Ralph Lauren logo. Both are stitched, not printed.

Our take on the Polo Sport Ralph Lauren Men's Claasic Fit Rugby Shirt

This is a long-sleeve rugby shirt in 100% cotton madras plaid, cut in Ralph Lauren's classic fit. It has a spread collar, a placket front with three buttons, banded cuffs and a straight hem with side vents. Embroidered American flag and Polo Sport logos sit on the chest. It suits shoppers who want a heavier, collared layer with a preppy, all-American look rather than a plain polo. Against a standard cotton polo it adds long sleeves, a rugby placket and a bolder plaid; against a true rugby it keeps the button placket and banded cuffs but uses a lighter madras cotton.
