Rugby Polo Tech Pack Template
A rugby polo tech pack differs from a piqué polo in one line that changes everything: the collar is woven, so it is a second fabric on the bill of materials rather than a knitted trim. This pack specifies it that way, with the placket group and cuffed long sleeves.
Woven collar specified as its own fabric line in the BOM — the detail that separates a rugby from a piqué polo.

Commissioning a rugby polo spec from a technical designer typically runs €150 to €900 and takes days. This one was drawn inside a Portuguese factory that cuts the garment every week, and it is in your inbox in minutes.

Why this one is different
Rugby Polo, specified
One detail separates a rugby from a piqué polo, and it is not the weight: the collar is woven, which makes it a second fabric on the bill of materials rather than a knitted trim. Factories that miss that line quote the garment as a heavy polo and source the collar from the body fabric, and the result is not a rugby.
The sleeves are long and cuffed, so the cuff height and relaxed opening rows are here too — the piqué polo has neither.
The woven collar is specified as its own material line in the bill of materials, not as a trim.

Points of measure
Every row in the pack
All 12 of them, with the convention each is measured to. 6 are marked as measurements a factory cannot cut without — they print in bold on the page. The values themselves are inside the document, graded XS–XXL with tolerances; we do not publish them here.

Measurements in this pack are drafted from published industry sizing (EN 13402-3 body girths; Craft Yarn Council body lengths) with standard ease for the stated fit class. They are a production-ready standard block, not White Cotton house measurements. Confirm the graded spec against your own fit sample before bulk production.

FAQ
Before you download
Where can I get a free rugby polo tech pack?+
Here — the rugby polo tech pack on this page is a free download, in exchange for an email address. It runs 16 pages and 12 points of measure, 6 of them marked critical, graded XS–XXL with tolerances, with 300gsm Heavy Piqué written on the material page as a starting point you overwrite with your own. It arrives as a vector PDF and an .ai file, editable in Illustrator, Affinity or CorelDRAW, and carries no supplier details, so it works with any factory.
Why does the woven collar matter so much?+
Because it is a separate fabric with a separate minimum, a separate lead time and a separate cost. Leaving it off the bill of materials is the most common way a rugby polo comes back late or wrong.
Is it drawn with and without the cuff?+
Yes. The pack carries two silhouettes so you can specify the sleeve end you want and delete the other before it goes to a factory.
What do I actually receive?+
A vector PDF and an .ai file, by email, at no cost. Both open and edit in Illustrator, Affinity or CorelDRAW — nothing is flattened or locked.
Can I use it with any factory?+
Yes. The document is yours and carries no supplier details — no address, no contact, nothing that ties it to us. It is drawn to industry convention so any factory can read it.
Are the measurements already filled in?+
Yes, as a production-ready standard block graded XS–XXL with tolerances, drawn from published industry sizing. It is a starting point you overwrite to match your own fit sample — the pack says so on the page. Your own fields (brand, style code, season, colourway names, artwork) arrive marked [FILL IN] in red so nothing ships carrying someone else's data.
