Est. 1871

First colours,
worn small.

Rompers cut in the colours of the great rugby nations — heavyweight brushed cotton, a proper twill collar, the crest embroidered rather than printed. Made in small numbered runs, sent out ready to give.

The idea

A first kit, kept
rather than outgrown.

Somebody in the family has a team. It is not really a preference so much as an inheritance — a Saturday, a ground, a particular shade of green or navy that means something before anyone can explain why.

So we made the smallest possible version of it. Not a novelty and not a fancy-dress kit, but a proper garment in the right colours, cut for a baby who will wear it for four months and a family who will keep it for thirty years.

Every run is small and every romper is finished the way a shirt would be: collar stitched flat, cuffs ribbed, crest embroidered by machine onto the cloth itself.

Fabric & craft

Made heavy enough to last

280gsm brushed cotton

Twice the weight of a standard babygrow, brushed on the inside so it is soft from the first wear and holds its shape through the wash.

Embroidered, not printed

Each crest is stitched into the cloth. Nothing to crack, peel or fade — it will still read clearly long after the wearing is done.

Small numbered runs

We cut a limited number of each nation, then stop. It keeps the making careful and means no romper ends up in a bargain bin.
