20th October, London, UK: Menswear brand Charles Tyrwhitt, the exclusive formalwear partner of England Rugby, has been announced as the official sponsor of LooseHeadz’ upcoming charity rugby fixture, The Tyrwhitt Cup, taking place at Wilmslow Rugby Club in Cheshire on Friday 23 October.
Building on the brands’ existing relationship, the partnership will help raise funds for LooseHeadz’ mission to place a mental health champion in every rugby club in the world, supporting players and communities at grassroots level. The event will see LooseHeadz RFC take on the Portugal World Legends, bringing together more than 35 retired international and representative players for a special fixture under floodlights.
Confirmed players include Steffon Armitage, Guy Thompson, Sam Tuitupou, Niki Goneva, Tom Varndell, Luther Burrell and Tom Arscott. Funds raised through the event will help LooseHeadz continue its work to improve access to mental health support, provide rugby-specific training and equip clubs with the tools to start important conversations.
Following last year’s Tyrwhitt Cup at Chiswick Rugby Club, the fixture continues Charles Tyrwhitt’s support for the rugby community beyond the pitch, with both organisations committed to raising awareness of men’s mental health across the sport.
Entering its seventh year as the official formalwear partner of the RFU, Charles Tyrwhitt also works with ambassadors including Marcus Smith and Matt Dawson. In November, the brand will launch 11 new pieces in its official rugby range, styled alongside its core collection. The collection will feature in a new social media series with ambassadors Matt Dawson and Stuart Broad, exploring life beyond the game and why sport means more than what happens on the pitch.
