The clothing items collection includes winter jackets, hoodies, sweatshirts, cotton-blend knitwear, polo shirts, pleated trousers, and ‘Gilbert x Rodd & Gunn’ rugby balls. One of the standout items is the Lansdowne Road hoodie, which has colorful printed imagery from Rodd & Gunn and Gilbert’s archive. Another item that also standout from this collection is the Western Springs varsity jacket that comes in a yellow and black plaid pattern with ‘Rodd & Gunn X Gilbert’ badges on the interior.
