Camberabero and Serge Blanco: brands born from rugby
Two brands in this selection carry the name of legends from the French XV. Camberabero was launched in 1991 around Guy and Lilian Camberabero, brothers and half-backs for the Blues during France's first Grand Slam in 1968; its pique polos, embroidered on the back or with long sleeves and elbow patches, uphold the elegance of the old-style collared jersey. Serge Blanco, born in the early 1990s from the meeting of the full-back from Biarritz Olympique and a Toulouse entrepreneur, now offers the same sports inspiration from the Piumino down jacket to Chamonix sneakers, including the Stormer parka.

Big sizes: jeans and sweatshirts for rugby body types
A prop or second row rarely finds what they want in standard sizes: broad shoulders, massive thighs and generous waistlines call for big size cuts. The Jack & Jones Tim and Mike jeans, in their big size versions, widen the thigh and hip without betraying their original cut: the Tim remains closer to the body, while the Mike, with a comfort cut, offers more room for powerful thighs. The hooded sweatshirt Corp Logo, in fleece, follows the same logic of a broadened build. You choose these models based on waist measurement and leg length, rather than relying on your usual size.
Polo, t-shirt, parka: the strong pieces of rugby style
Rugby style is based on a few strong pieces. The polo in pique or jersey, often adorned with a badge or national embroidery, can be worn at the office as well as on the weekend; the t-shirt in waffle knit Camberabero adds texture to a simple outfit. In winter, the parka Serge Blanco Stormer, with fleece lining and water-repellent fabric, protects against damp stands, while the sleeveless down jacket fits under a jacket. During sales, these well-cut basics are more easily updated; as the fits vary from one brand to another, you should always check the size guide.

Frequently asked questions
Why is the polo associated with rugby?
The old rugby shirt, made of thick cotton with a collar and a buttoned placket, looked a lot like a polo. This design has remained in urban wardrobes, often decorated with wide horizontal stripes or a club badge.
What is waffle knit?
A cotton knit worked into small square reliefs, like a waffle iron, that traps air and stays comfortable in mid-season. It adds texture to a plain t-shirt without making it heavy.
What do the W and L mean on jeans?
W, for waist, indicates the waist measurement in inches, and L, for length, indicates the inner leg length. A jean marked W40 L34 corresponds to about 102 centimeters in waist size and 86 centimeters in inseam.
What does water-repellent mean on a parka?
The fabric has been treated so that water beads on the surface, allowing it to slide off instead of soaking in. It offers protection from a shower or drizzle while watching a game, but it’s not waterproof under prolonged rain.
How do you wash an embroidered polo?
Inside out, at thirty degrees, with a gentle detergent and no fabric softener, to preserve the embroidery and knit. It should be dried flat and ironed inside out, taking care not to run the iron over the embroidery.
