In Person: The Lands’ End Canvas French Terry Rugby

 Lands’ End Canvas Rugby – $56.00 w/ FRIENDSHIP & 1520 ($80)

Friends and Family code FRIENDSHIP and pin 1520 is good for 30% off almost everything and free shipping at $50.  Code expires today, Tuesday 10/2/12.

You’re going to want to size down, and you’re going to want to wait for them to go on sale if you can.  Stock is down to just Large and XLs, and know that these fit a little generous.  They’re nowhere near as trim as the very slim Ralph Lauren Custom fit rugby, and they don’t feel as sturdy as the RL option either.

The French Terry fabric is a blue on white worsted-like combo that gives it a sharkskin-like slight metallic sheen in some light.  Some will like it, some won’t.  It’s pretty lightweight, and the corduroy collar and cuff details are fantastic.  Big fan of the medium blue on brown combination.  The quilted/chain-stitched shoulder yoke doesn’t have any of the expected beef to it.  The “reinforced” areas of the underarms and yoke are nothing more than thin patches sewn to the inside.  Not to keep comparing to the RL Custom Fit, but those have noticeable extra fabric and weight in the shoulders.  The LEC has none of that.

Size shown: Medium.  Little too much room at the sides for my 5’10” / 165-170 lb frame.

For the sports fans out there who have owned a jersey or two in their lifetime; y’know how noticeable the difference is between a standard replica, and an “authentic” jersey?  Right.  Was expecting more of an “authentic” feel with this rugby from Lands’ End Canvas, but it just didn’t deliver.

Still a great looking & mighty comfortable shirt, but consider sizing down and waiting for them to not just go on sale, but also to have access to a code to lump on top of that reduced price.  No word on whether they’ll get more sizes in stock or if this is it for the run.

    Ordered a Medium a couple of weeks ago. Found the sleeves on this to be really long (granted I have a 32″ sleeve length), and as Joe says, the sides are generous, not trim. Like the material. Not in love with the shoulder stitching. Unfortunately going back.

    there isn’t one thing I like about it.

    I don’t care for the shoulder stitching either. That’s the major issue I’m having. I sized down and got a small.

    That? You clicked through for that?

    I got one in small (I’m usually between small and medium)

    I agree with the points above. Fit isn’t fantastic, and the sleeves are unusually long. That being said, the fabric is nice and soft, and I don’t mind the sheen, as it provides contrast with similarly colored jeans. Not a bad piece if you get it on sale (wouldn’t pay full retail).

    I usually end up wearing it over a button-down shirt, as a sort of light sweatshirt layer for fall nights. It’s different than any other rugby I own, and serves it’s purpose. I think I’m going to let this one get beat up/dirty/paint on it.

    Hey Joe, can you (or anyone else) help me with the fit of the Lands’ End Rugby shirt? I am 6’0″ and 175lbs. In between a medium and a small. The small might be a little tight in the armpits/chest. Pics here: http://threads.dappered.com/topic/official-how-does-this-fit-thread/page/27

    I feel like a medium would fit you better. At 6’3″ ~190 I’m in a large, and it’s just baggy around the waist. They have a great return policy, so if the medium doesn’t fit you can return it for free at Sears and they will ship you a new one.

    I got one when you posted about it a few weeks ago. I like it a lot, especially layered with a flannel underneath like on the website. Probably will have to take the sides in on the large at 6’3.5″ ~190 lbs.

    Will tailoirs take in a shirt like this?

    I would think so. It will take a little more effort than a normal shirt because of the little corduroy parts on the vent, but other than that it’s the same method.

    I myself would say small. I’m 6’0″ 168lbs The small already is a bit roomy in my opinion for me

    No Rugby ball in the Rugby shirt? For shame…
