Todd has partnered with the arbiter of Ivy League style to create a modern twist on the classics including The Duffel Coat, The Sack Blazer and The Shaggy Dog® sweater. “J. Press has always been a little under the radar, which makes them cool,” says Todd. “So we took some of their iconic pieces and gave them a little attitude.” Here, sweater meets rugby shirt in a thoroughly modern mash-up. The silhouette is that of a rugby, and like a rugby the collar is a cotton twill with herringbone stitching on the inside, and the buttons are rubber. But the fabric is a soft lambswool. This is an easy way to add some sophistication to any look you’d normally wear a rugby with-- chinos, denim, dress pants or our TS Gurkha Trouser.
While the silhouette is beautiful and colorful, the product description is not quite accurate. This is by no means “soft” lambswool. It is that scratchy wool feeling for which you would want to wear a long sleeve T-shirt underneath. It is borderline too warm.
Really enjoying this lovely rugby which brings forward the best aspects of J Press and Todd Snyder. J Press lends its preppy, collegiate, traditional rugby ‘frame’ while Todd Snyder’s design skills make it more stylish and upscale.
This rugby is every bit as beautiful as it appears in the photos. The wool, in my opinion, is quite soft. I’m wearing it comfortably with a short sleeve t-shirt underneath.
