The t-shirts from the brand Camberabero

The Camberabero Brothers, a hinge turned brand

Guy and Lilian Camberabero formed one of the most famous pairs in French rugby: Guy at fly-half, known for his kicking game, Lilian at scrum-half, both wearing the jersey of La Voulte and the French XV. The brand was born in 1991 almost by chance: a social enterprise asked Guy for permission to put his name on the clothes made in their workshop. The success was such that the family took on the adventure themselves. Their t-shirts tell this story: an everyday garment that carries the memory of a local rugby, of boldness and brotherhood.

Jersey, texture and embroidery: the Camberabero spirit

The brand pays as much attention to the material as to the design. Alongside the classic soft and smooth cotton jersey, it offers t-shirts in waffle-knit, with a textured surface that is thicker and more structured, giving character to a simple outfit. The designs often draw inspiration from rugby history: glorious years of the Tournament, nods to the Southern Hemisphere or to the spirit of France. The logos are frequently embroidered, a more durable finish than printing. The result: t-shirts that can be worn just as easily during the week as around a stadium, without displaying the colours of a particular club.

How do Camberabero t-shirts fit?

The Camberabero t-shirts generally have a straight cut, neither tight nor loose, in the tradition of rugby clothing: you take your usual size. The thick fabrics, like waffle knit, have less elasticity than jersey; a broad torso would benefit from going up a size. For a gift, you base it on the chest width of a t-shirt already worn by the recipient, measured from shoulder to shoulder. A wash at 30 degrees, inside out, protects the embroidery, and a flat dry helps the waffle knit maintain its texture through multiple washes.

Frequently asked questions

Did Didier Camberabero play for the French team?

Yes, Guy's son wore the blue jersey, mainly at fly-half, and played in the final of the first World Cup in 1987. A renowned kicker, he continued the family tradition at the highest level.

Why is the Grand Slam of 1968 significant to the family?

It's the first Grand Slam for the French XV in the Five Nations Tournament, in which Guy and Lilian Camberabero participated. This date appears as a nod on several pieces from the brand.

Where is La Voulte?

La Voulte-sur-Rhône is a small town in Ardèche, on the right bank of the Rhône. Its club, La Voulte Sportif, was crowned champion of France in 1970 with the Camberabero brothers as the scrum-half pairing.

Does a waffle-knit t-shirt keep you warm?

A bit more than a smooth jersey: its texture traps air and gives it extra thickness. However, it remains breathable and can be worn comfortably in mid-season, either alone or layered lightly.

Which Camberabero t-shirt should I give to a former player?

An embroidered model that features visuals reflecting the history of the game, like the Tournament or a great epic of the French XV, appeals to nostalgic former players. A subtle colour, navy or white, guarantees it will be worn often.
