Raging Bull delivers Autumn and Winter range packed with stylish items

It’s hard to believe that it’s now nearly 20 years since Raging Bull was first conceived as a leisurewear brand – and it’s still delivering inspiring clothing collections that rugby lovers can identify with.

World Cup-winning prop Phil Vickery’s aim was simple, he wanted to provide a high-quality design-led clothing brand that represented good value for money and would fit everyone from giant lumbering forwards to diminutive half-backs.

Using the nickname he earned from his rugby playing days, Raging Bull continues to go from strength-to-strength long after the former Gloucester and Wasps forward hung up his sizeable boots from playing action.

It’s during the Autumn and Winter when the company’s products really comes to the fore, with the latest range combining exciting newness alongside classic customer favourites. And of course, for more products, the sizes range from small through to six XL.

All the hallmarks of what has helped the brand muscle its weight into the market remain proudly in place with its attention to detail, sourcing of the best fabrics, and striving for a perfect fit.

So what can you expect? The design team has searched in both urban and country environments for colour inspiration to deliver army greens, warm toast, and berry red flanking traditional black, navy, and gunmetal grey.

Classic favourites are complemented by new silhouettes in the ever-increasing outerwear collection as new textures, colours and branding are implemented into the knits, jumpers and coats.

But there’s still some unmistakable, comforting familiarity to items such as the long sleeve chest band rugby shirt that provides the perfect accompaniment with smart chinos or jeans, featuring the Raging Bull crest.

Stay warm this winter with Raging Bull

For the cold winter days ahead there’s fantastic new additions such as the chunky button up funnel neck knitwear or the fantastic fleece gilet that features leather piping to the sleeves, collar and zip closure. It just oozes style without breaking the bank.

But our Rugby World favourite item from the new Raging Bull collection is the knitted cotton/Cashmere quarter zip in navy. The added cashmere makes it luxuriously soft and is perfect for when the weather lifts during the period but warmth is still needed. It looks brilliant on the broad shoulders and powerful frame of charismatic prop Jamal Ford-Robinson – who plays for Raging Bull’s partner club Gloucester Rugby.

However, when the rain pours you need to be prepared and the khaki waterproof rain jacket provides just that and more. The lightweight design features four large front pockets and two additional secret pockets making for the ultimate coat for adventures and outings ahead during the season.

Of course there are the timeless Oxfords and Ginghams but there’s a flourishing number of new shirts for more fashioned occasion needs as well as styles for the more relaxed look.
