The lifestyle of rugby
The lifestyle of rugby brings together clothing that extends the spirit of the game off the pitch: polos and t-shirts Camberabero, a brand founded by two former internationals, Serge Blanco trainers, jeans and Jack & Jones sweatshirts in larger sizes for forwards. Embroidered polos, textured knits, loose fits: a wardrobe for the stands, the office and the third half.
The spirit of rugby, in everyday life.
Camberabero, the brand of the brothers from La Voulte
Camberabero was born in 1991 from the initiative of Guy and Lilian Camberabero, fly-half and scrum-half from La Voulte, French champions in 1970 and creators of the first Grand Slam of the French XV in 1968. Guy's sons, Didier and Gilles, have taken up the torch. The brand offers the polo in all its forms: classic piqué, softer jersey, colourful models, embroidery on the back in homage to New Zealand, long sleeves with elbow patches. Its t-shirts in waffle or fancy fabric add depth to a simple outfit.

Serge Blanco, the elegance of a legendary fullback
The brand Serge Blanco was created in 1992, from the meeting between the fullback of Biarritz Olympique, selected ninety-three times with the French XV, and the Toulouse entrepreneur Jean-Jacques Lauby. It became known for its polo shirts with bold colour embroideries, before extending its casual wardrobe to other pieces. The Serge Blanco Chamonix sneakers carry this style down to the feet, with an urban silhouette that pairs well with both the polo and the sweatshirt. A brand that has made rugby a reference for relaxed elegance.
Jack & Jones plus size for rugby player builds
Pillars' shoulders or second-row thighs rarely find satisfaction in standard sizes. The plus size line from Jack & Jones meets this need with Tim and Mike cuts that are wider at the waist and thighs without losing their straight fit, and a hooded sweatshirt Corp Logo cut larger in the chest. To choose correctly, rely on waist size and inseam rather than a usual size from another brand. The polos and t-shirts should be chosen in the usual size, or one size up to layer a sweatshirt.

Frequently asked questions
Why elbow patches on a long-sleeve polo?
The elbow patches come from work and sportswear of the past, reinforced where the fabric wears out. On a rugby style polo, they give a retro look while protecting the fabric.
What is a waffle-knit t-shirt?
It's a fabric with a waffle-like relief, thicker and more textured than a smooth jersey. It adds structure to the t-shirt and retains heat a bit better.
Piqué knit polo or jersey: what's the difference?
Piqué knit, with its textured grain, is the classic polo material: breathable, it holds its shape well. Jersey, smoother and softer, hangs more and is worn in a more relaxed way.
Who is Serge Blanco?
Born in Caracas in 1958, Serge Blanco was the fullback for Biarritz Olympique and the French XV from 1980 to 1991. His breaks and tries have made him one of the greatest players in the history of French rugby.
What clothing to gift a rugby fan?
A polo shirt embroidered with a brand born from rugby, like Camberabero or Serge Blanco, can be worn all year round and recalls the passion for the oval ball. A comfortable sweatshirt also makes a safe gift for winter.
