Pink Blue & Mint Pastel Stripe Rugby

THE BRAND Drake's was founded in London in 1977 with a single guiding principle: relaxed elegance. What began as a tie-making operation in East London has grown into one of Britain's most respected menswear houses, producing soft tailoring in Italy, traditional knitwear in Scotland, and shirts in their own factory in Chard, Somerset. Every Drake's piece is built to be worn and worn again, for years, if not decades. DETAILS The Drake's Rugby Shirt has become one of the most enduring pieces in the brand's collections, and the Pink, Blue & Mint Pastel Stripe is its most warm-weather-ready expression yet. Where the classic rugby leans on bold, saturated colour, this version arrives in a softer, sun-faded palette of pink, blue and mint that feels entirely at home in the long days of summer. Cut from a densely knitted 100% cotton, the shirt has a satisfying weight and tactility to it, without ever feeling heavy in wear. The pattern itself was drawing inspiration from the brand's shirt collar shapes, particularly the English Classic style, to create a fit that is noticeably more refined than a standard rugby shirt. The result is a slightly trimmer body and a higher armhole, making it a versatile piece that wears equally well over a T-shirt with old chinos or layered under a blazer without looking out of place. Details are considered throughout: ribbed cuffs and hem, rubber buttons, a covered placket and a contrasting collar all stay true to the rugby shirt's sporting heritage while giving it the polish that defines everything Drake's makes.
