Scotland rugby home jersey long sleeves cotton 2026/27

This Scotland home replica jersey for the 2026/27 season is designed for supporters who prioritise everyday comfort. Unlike technical polyester pro versions, this 100% cotton edition offers a relaxed fit and natural softness, ideal for wearing the Thistle XV colours in the stands, at the pub or around town. Long sleeves provide extra protection during outdoor matches or cool days. Available from S to XXL, this jersey adopts the visual codes of the official kit — iconic navy blue, white polo collar, embroidered Scottish Rugby crest — while prioritising durability and easy cotton care.

Macron maintains the traditional structure of the Scottish jersey for this 2026/27 edition: white bands on the shoulders, contrasting finishes at the collar and cuffs. The SRU crest (Scottish Rugby Union) and Macron logo are applied in embroidery, guaranteeing superior durability compared to transfer printing. The cotton used retains its shape after washing and does not shrink if care instructions are followed (30°C maximum, natural drying). This cotton replica clearly distinguishes itself from player jerseys through its material and fit: it makes no claims to technical performance, but fully embraces its role as a premium supporter garment.

What is the difference between cotton replica and player jersey?

The player jersey is made of technical polyester tailored for performance. The cotton replica prioritises everyday comfort with a more relaxed fit and natural material that breathes better when not exerting effort.

Does cotton shrink when washed?

No, if you wash at 30°C maximum and air dry. Macron's pre-shrunk cotton retains its dimensions after several wash cycles.

What size for someone 1m80 tall and weighing 85 kg?

Size L suits this build in relaxed supporter fit. Choose XL if you prefer an even wider fit or plan to layer a thermal under-layer.

Care instructions

Wash at 30°C maximum on gentle cycle, turn the jersey inside out before washing to protect embroidery. Do not use a tumble dryer — cotton retains its properties better with natural air drying flat or on a hanger. Iron at medium temperature, avoiding the crest and logos. Do not use bleach, which degrades cotton fibres and alters colours.

Design

Macron chose cotton for this supporter replica because it offers superior natural breathability at rest and absorbs perspiration better than standard polyester. Classic jersey weave allows sufficient elasticity for comfort without adding synthetic fibres. Long sleeves are constructed with ribbed cuffs that fit snugly without compression, preventing unwanted riding up. The white polo collar with contrasting band echoes the historic design of Scottish jerseys — reinforced structure to maintain its shape after dozens of washes. The white bands on the shoulders are not merely decorative: they visually mark the iconic silhouette of the Thistle XV since the 1970s.

Scotland

The Scotland XV has competed in the Six Nations since its inception in 1883 (originally a four-nation tournament). Navy blue has been the team's historic colour since 1871, the first international rugby match in history against England at Raeburn Place (Edinburgh). The Thistle has appeared on the crest since the beginning — a Scottish national symbol since the 13th century. Murrayfield, a 67,000-capacity stadium opened in 1925, hosts home matches and generates a unique atmosphere during the Six Nations, particularly through the singing of Flower of Scotland by the entire crowd.

Macron

Macron has equipped Scotland since 2020, following Canterbury and Adidas. The Italian brand founded in 1971 in Bologna has specialised in equipping national rugby federations — it also outfits Italy, Georgia and Wales. Its approach favours traditional materials for supporter ranges (cotton, cotton-poly blends) and reserves technical technologies (Macron Stain Tech, Macron Embossing) for player jerseys. This clear differentiation avoids confusion between comfort replica and performance equipment, unlike some manufacturers who standardise their ranges.
