When it comes to Rugby Shirts, we’re fans.  For the most part, we prefer them to be simple, timeless, and virtually unadorned.  Sure, from time to time we break out some color, but it’s the more basic options that we find ourselves coming back to time and time again.  This year, another low key rugby shirt will be added to our collection, it’s the Midcoast from L.L. Bean Signature.

Currently available in a simple Night/White color combination, the Midcoast Rugby is made of 100% cotton pique and is a bit lighter than a traditional rugby.  We normally prefer our rugby shirts a bit heavier, but this one is the perfect candidate for a variety of layered looks over the next few months.  With two piece collar construction to make sure you aren’t left looking flat, and functioning cuffs that we absolutely love, this shirt may not be a traditional rugby, but that is part of the appeal.  Shoot, this one may even see some warm weather wear.
