Quality Analysis 60/100
This merino wool rugby shirt is designed for everyday wear, with the Creative Director noting its "hard-working" nature. However, the "lightweight knit" and "hand wash" care instructions suggest it may not withstand the same rigorous use as a traditional heavy-duty rugby shirt.

This merino wool rugby shirt promises exceptional comfort, thanks to its naturally soft and breathable merino wool knit. The relaxed fit further enhances wearability, making it an easy piece to "live in" and layer.
