Opensider

About

FOR ON AND OFF THE FIELD Summing Up Opensider Opensider is one of the newer names on the Urban Industry rail, built around a simple idea: take classic sporting silhouettes (the ribbed collar, the block stripe, the boxy body) and reissue them in fabric substantial enough to survive daily wear rather than a single afternoon on the touchline. Every piece starts life as heavyweight, 100% GOTS organic cotton jersey , pre-washed before it reaches you so there is no first-wash shrinkage or stiffness to deal with. The Classic Rugby Shirt is the clearest expression of that brief: a heavyweight jersey top cut from the same pattern book as vintage sports kit, offered in a run of tri-stripe, wide-stripe and multi-stripe colourways built to outlast a season rather than define one. It is a similar approach to the one we saw when we introduced Mellow Clo to the site: fewer, better pieces, made to be worn hard rather than admired on a hanger. Alongside classic British labels like Folk , Opensider slots straight into the understated, well-made end of the rail, built for on and off the field. How Does Opensider Stack Up 300gsm 100% GOTS-certified organic cotton jersey: a heavier construction than most casual rugby-style tops, chosen for structural longevity over drape. Garment pre-washed before dispatch: shrinkage and stiffness are dealt with at the mill, not in your washing machine, so the fit you try on is the fit you keep. Traditional ribbed collar and cuffs: borrowed from on-field rugby kit construction, it holds its shape through repeated wear and washing far better than a standard jersey crew neck. Heritage stripe colourways (Tri-Stripe, Wide-Stripe and Multi-Stripe) alongside solid tones: classic sporting graphics without straying into replica-kit territory. The Urban Industry Take on Opensider On UK weather, the 300gsm jersey earns its keep: heavy enough to wear on its own through a mild autumn, thin enough to layer under an overshirt or field jacket once temperatures drop.
