British and Irish Lions rugby t-shirt organic cotton Canterbury

Technical specifications

Care tips

Machine wash at 30°C maximum, delicate cycle. Turn the garment inside out to protect the heat-applied logos. Air drying recommended — avoid the tumble dryer, which accelerates cotton shrinkage. Iron on the reverse at medium temperature, never directly over the logos or neck tape. No bleach, no dry cleaning.

Design

Canterbury has chosen organic cotton grown to strict environmental standards (no synthetic pesticides, crop rotation), certified by a third-party body. The classic jersey knit ensures natural flexibility and breathability without added synthetic fibres. The British and Irish Lions logos are applied by heat transfer — an industrial process where heat and pressure fix the transfer onto the fabric, guaranteeing mechanical adhesion superior to simple screen printing. The embossed neck tape, printed with the official team inscription, is a mark of the product's licensed authenticity. This understated construction prioritises durability: a t-shirt designed to withstand years of regular wear and frequent washing.

British and Irish Lions

The British and Irish Lions form a selection bringing together the best players from England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland. Founded in 1888, this team tours the southern hemisphere (South Africa, Australia, New Zealand) every four years. The navy blue chosen for this t-shirt recalls British naval tradition and stands apart from the red worn in matches. Wearing these colours means displaying your belonging to one of the oldest institutions in world rugby.
