Navy Crest Elegant Violence T-Shirt Red / Gold - Relaxed Fit (Comfort Colors)

The Navy Crest Elegant Violence shirt

In the spring of 1999, the Men's Navy Rugby team went to Ireland for some friendly competition. They played against a few local teams and, keeping up with tradition, traded shirts with the players. I'm not sure Devin's competitor would have ever parted with his club's t-shirt had he known he was sacrificing it for a boxy cardboard Hanes husky in return. From that day forward, I have searched for a shirt that matches its fit and feel. It's like butter-- Kerrygold butter. This shirt is so beloved that it is still folded in a place of honor in our closet more than 25 years later. For decades I have searched for something similar. Regrettably, this American version isn't quite its Irish counterpart, but it's the closest I have found thus far. The material is soft yet heavy. It drapes rather than clings. It even feels lived in from first wear. So, if you're looking for that vintage, soft-to-the-touch favorite old shirt circa Ireland 1990s, look no further.
