Ellis Rugby Sweatshirt - Slate

The Ellis is a very cozy sweatshirt with a lovely collar and just real nice heft to it. Love the shape it gives.

Unfortunately the shock cord’s clasps seem quite flimsy as they split in the middle on the second day I wore them, as well as the part where the shock cord is contained coming undone. But the jumper itself is very sturdy.

Tried it on in store. Didn’t get it. Regretted it.

Bought it online afterwards. No regrets.

Been buying from WAWWA for many years now (including the first Ellis sweatshirt) it feels rare nowadays for a company to maintain the quality of their products, let alone improve them the way that WAWWA do. A garment for many years to come, thanks!

High quality, cozy, and great style

Pant great

I would say this sweatshirt has more male energy. The quality is top, as with all Wawwa products. I can easily imagine it going many, many years. It's thick and warm.

Wasn’t sure on size (normally move between men’s M and L) but the large was perfect for this, especially with the draw cord at the waist. The material is nice and thick and incredible quality. Can already tell that this will last a long, long time. Very happy!

TL;DR: I'm German, we rarely exaggerate, but I have to say that this is the best sweatshirt I've ever owned. It's a hug in sweatshirt form.

Long version: I've owned a number of comfortable jumpers, some pricey, some not; some heavy, some (disappointingly) not. But sometimes you will get one that's just perfect – hits all the spots it needs to hit and then some. I was a little apprehensive as to the price but it's worth every single penny, especially if you want a jumper that's of excellent quality (the stitching is excellent), holds its shape after a wash (and stays super soft at the same time; no idea what magic they are weaving into that, but damn, it's something else), and is heavy enough (without being too much) to create a brilliant sillouette (that's even adjustable). The collar and the elbow patches – which are subtle in the black version – add a nice touch and turn this into something you can wear at work or to any occasion that needs a bit more chic. It's – to use the German term here – an "eierlegende Wollmilchsau", an all-in-one sweatshirt suitable for every purpose and occasion. And that is hard to find. (To be fair, I've simply worn it nearly non-stop since I got it, so "every purpose and occasion" is what you make of it. But it is versatile, which I love.) If I had to look for something to improve (and I would need to look hard) then I'd love a breast pocket, but that'd only be a second cherry on top.
In short: Damn good quality? Check. Versatile piece? Check. Durable? Check (it got me through a move, so, there's that.) Looks good? Check. Supports smaller brand? Check.

I'd been eyeing the WAWWA website for several months and finally decided to make a purchase, and I'm so happy I did; I love love love the pieces I got! The finishing and quality of each is really noticeable, and I'm sure these items are going to last me a long, long time. I'm always looking for sustainable, ethical shops to buy from, but most offer frumpy, not-all-that-cute clothes, so I'm real happy to have found WAWWA, thanks y'all! All the love from Denmark 🫶

Love it …..got it for a combo of beach city holiday in Porto and it’s been perfect. Comfortable, roomy and super cool 👍🏻

The shirt is very comfortable and relaxed, but looks sharp. It has been my go to since I got it. The fabric is nice and heavy. The details pop just enough (ripstop elbow patches, collar, and hang loop + branding) to make it interesting. I have not used the waist cord, but it's a nice option. First I thought that the sleeves were too long and the cuffs were too loose, but in use they have been actually really good. I've had the shirt for about a month and a half now and washed it once. It didn't shrink and kept its shape and color. I'm 186cm and 87kg and I got size Large which is my true size. The shirt was my first Wawwa purchase and I'm very happy with it.

I’m not a vain person at all. Bang average looking fella with bang average confidence. But since receiving the Ellis rugby sweatshirt it’s rare I walk past a window without marvelling at how good I look. Fits like a dream, ridiculously well made. I feel like I could be number 6 in the fight against the gorilla and this top would come out unscathed. And yeah; really feeling myself every time I wear it.

I could honestly get buried in this, it is so timeless and elegant. Love how you can ajust the length and look with the drawstring as it changes the whole look. Feels very fresh and modern, heavy jersey and high quality. I am a female size 38 normally and went with the small, which was a good fit.

Super comfortable. Great quality and great colour.

I love this sweatshirt, it can be worn to suit a variety of styles and is comfortable and feels very hardwearing - this is my first Wawwa and i think likely won't be my last.

If i had one complaint it would be that the cuffs are a bit loose, so when pushing up your sleeves they don't stay put and slide back down - but this doesn't really compromise how cool it is.

Thanks!

Overall excellent with some minor issues:

- Great fabric
- Sewing quality is good, but multiple loose ends of threads that need to be clipped. Finishing could be better.
- Cut is decent but they seem to have modeled at the top of body measurements - they could be better done with shorter body length, especially considering the relaxed fits.
- Neck aperture too small for the relaxed sizing. Saw this on both the m and the s.
- Would suit a raglan sleeve better.

Great

Nice and thick quality just as described, size was bigger than expected but its all good as i love oversized jumpers and this means i can also share it with my partner hehe
