Rugby style t-shirts

Club T-shirts: Toulouse, Racing 92 and Toulon

The club t-shirt shows off its colours without the technical aspect of a match kit. The Stade Toulousain features a graphic t-shirt, with a printed design across the chest, as well as a model from the Evergreen line, which is also available for other major clubs. Racing 92, based in Nanterre, offers both its Evergreen version and another t-shirt featuring the club's logo. Finally, RC Toulon has its own Evergreen, in the club's red and black colours. For a supporter, it's the everyday wear par excellence, perfect for wearing around town or at the stadium on warm days.

Cotton, polyester or blend: which material for what use

Cotton remains the material for everyday t-shirts: soft and breathable, it develops a nice patina but dries slowly and creases easily. The adidas cotton t-shirt illustrates this comfortable basic style. Polyester, being lighter, wicks away sweat and dries quickly, making it suitable for sports; it retains its colour better but can sometimes hold odours. Cotton-polyester blends combine the comfort of one with the durability of the other. The weight, expressed in grams per square metre, indicates thickness: around 150, the t-shirt is lightweight and fluid; over 180, it gains structure and durability, with a more structured fall.

Finding the right t-shirt size, for men or women

A t-shirt is first chosen based on the chest width: measure flat, from armpit to armpit, a t-shirt that you like to wear, then compare it to the size guide. Fitted cuts, common among fashion brands, are tighter on the sleeves; club t-shirts are often cut straighter and allow for more movement. For women, a dedicated cut prevents the shoulders from appearing too wide. The length also matters: a t-shirt that is too short rides up when you lift your arms. For care, washing at 30 degrees inside out and air drying help preserve the print and limit cotton shrinkage.

Frequently asked questions

Screen printing or flocking: how is a t-shirt printed?

Screen printing applies ink through a screen: the design becomes part of the fabric and ages well. Flocking sticks a cut motif, which feels thicker. Both can withstand low-temperature washing but fear the tumble dryer.

Round neck or V-neck for a t-shirt?

The round neck, the most common, suits almost all body shapes and can be worn alone on any occasion. The V-neck exposes the neck and elongates the silhouette, a preferred choice for broad frames who find the round neck a bit tight.

What t-shirt to give to a Stade Toulousain supporter?

A graphic t-shirt with the club's logo or a plainer model from the Evergreen line, depending on their taste. Check their usual size on a t-shirt they already wear, considering whether it's a fitted or looser cut.

Why does a white t-shirt turn yellow under the arms?

Yellowing is caused by the reaction between sweat and the aluminium salts in deodorants. Soaking in cold water with a bit of bicarbonate before washing helps limit stains; hot water, on the other hand, can set them into the fabric.

What size t-shirt for a ten-year-old child?

Children's sizes are often based on age, but height is more reliable: a tall ten-year-old will take a twelve-year-old's size. A little extra room allows the t-shirt to be worn for two summers without looking too big.
