Hometown Rugby - Lakeshore Bay Stripe

Polos

$104as of Sep 3, 2026. Check the current price at Fahertymay be out of stock

The verdict

A structured 100% cotton women's rugby in a classic stripe at a mid-to-premium price; nostalgia-driven and well-made but not performance-oriented.

Fit

Rugby popovers for women typically fit relaxed through the chest and shoulders with a slightly longer body. This stripe should read as deliberately oversized; size down if between sizes for a fitted rugby look.

Quality

100% cotton, India-made; rugby construction is thicker and more structured than standard polos. Expect durability and character development with wear, though pure cotton wrinkles and requires pressing.

Price check

At $134, the brand tax here is meaningful—premium pricing for a heritage cut and nostalgia factor. The rugby knit itself justifies higher cost than standard polos, but there's brand positioning in the price.

Best for

Someone who wants a heritage athletic look and doesn't mind the bulk; works as a statement piece or weekend wear.

Care

Hand wash or machine delicate to preserve structure; lay flat to dry to prevent stretching.

Fit check: Faherty

True to size

Faherty fits true to size with a deliberately relaxed cut — take your usual size, and only size down on the roomiest dresses and boxy tees if you're between sizes.

Owners and hands-on reviewers consistently report Faherty running true to size, with the slight ease built into the cut rather than a sign to size down. The relaxed silhouette shows up across lines — tees are described as boxy-but-not-oversized, pants run about a half-inch generous in the waist (not enough to change size), and some dresses and boxier tops read roomy enough that between-sizes buyers go down. A minority of owners find pieces large and boxy at their usual size — one Reddit user had a medium tailored — and a few customer reviews flag garment-to-garment inconsistency, but that's the exception in the feedback, not the pattern.

Sizing advice: Order your usual size across the line; if you're between sizes, size down only on roomy dresses and boxy tees — everywhere else stay true, since the relaxed drape is intentional.

What owners report about Faherty polos

Third-party coverage of Faherty's polos specifically is thin; most independent reporting covers the brand's knits and shirts as a whole. Editorial reviewers praise the soft washed fabrics and the way they drape, and describe the fit as true to size with a slightly relaxed cut. Customer-review aggregators are more critical: the brand's Trustpilot score sits at 1.9/5 — much of it service and shipping complaints — with several owners reporting garments shrinking a full size even when care instructions were followed.

Strengths: Fabric softness and drape are what reviewers consistently single out across the brand's knits.
Watch out for: The recurring product complaint is shrinkage after washing — one Trustpilot reviewer said items "shrunk an entire size" despite air drying — along with prices that editorial reviewers concede are a tough sell.
Sizing: Editorial reviewers describe the fit as true to size with a slightly relaxed cut through the chest and shoulders, though some customer reviews report inconsistent sizing between garments.
