Panelled 1/4 Zip Neck Top

One of our best‑selling ranges, now reimagined. Introducing the LSE Quarter‑Zip Rugby Top. The modern rugby shirt traces its origins back to the 1800s, when it was first worn by players in England as the sport began to take shape. Early rugby players relied on thick cotton shirts with long sleeves and reinforced stitching, designed to withstand the physical demands of the game. These garments became known as “rugby jerseys” or “rugby shirts” — terms still widely used today. The word “jersey” itself originates from the Channel Island of Jersey, famed for its knitted wool garments. Inspired by this traditional heritage, the LSE Quarter‑Zip Rugby Top combines classic design with contemporary practicality. Crafted from durable, heavyweight cotton, it offers comfort, resilience, and timeless style. The quarter‑zip detail adds a modern touch, making this piece ideal for both everyday wear and showing your LSE pride.
