just wonderin, how often do you buy golf clothes? i just bought another belt and realized i had a total of seven. plus i got a bunch of custom loose buckles and straps lyin around. personnally i think you should look sharp, bright, but not so loud it's offensive.
i was taught always to look dignified on the golf course, whether it's a run-down muni or a beautiful private club that i have no business being near. i like looking good on the golf course and like to make sure not to conform to the old thinking that golfers are big, fat, and wear really big polo shirts. i like all my clothes to be fitted, including my golf attire. being younger helps me not look like an old guy trying to emulate camilo. i wear very classic colors on the course and make sure that it looks turns heads, without looking like jesper parnevik (although i do like some of his threads). i also wear burberry, lacoste, and puma golf. i love my puma stuff. refreshing styles that look classy and young at the same time.
I love to buy new clothes and I often have to stop myself (too much shirts ) Same for the work stuff (i'm wearing suits & ties). I usually wear Ping, Cleveland, Nike, Footjoy & Aureus apparels'. Bought many on EBay (3-Balls, Namebrandgolfshirts), Golftown and... Winners'
I guess you could say I'm obsessed. I've worked in luxury retail for a while now and made friends with people at other labels so I'm always getting new stuff. In fact, I just got a pair of Ralph Lauren Purple Label pants for $50 that will look nice out on the course this winter.
I've been wearing allot of Ashworth shirts and pants and I like them allot. I have several belts made by the House of Fleming with buckles made by Bettinardi.
I have a lot of Nike, Sligo, and Cutter and Buck. My favorite is Sligo, most comfy and best fitting around. Although I'm about to give up on Cutter and buck, there shirts are getting way too supersized. I now need a small and the small seems to come untucked easily since it's so short. the medium stays tucked in but makes me look kind of frumpy.
When Its cold its Tommy Bahama pants/camp shirts with FJ Classics. Hots days will be any brand as long as I match, its a gentleman's game so why not look the part!
I love golf shirts. Specifically I love Nike's Tiger Woods line, Adidas as well as the Masters (if I had the funds, I would just buy one of virtually every shirt at Augusta National) and Bethpage private labe stuff. In addition, I search the UK eBay site for Wilson Staff shirts. I've gotten 3 sharp looking mocks, 2 polos and a vest for under $100 and I have yet to see anyone but me wearing any W/S stuff.
I also found 4 Taylor Made shirts (3 short sleeve, 1 long sleeve) and 2 vests (reversable) on eBay that were sold only in Japan that I really like as well.
We were at a business conference at the Marriot at TPC Sawgrass last year... I spent over $600 in the golf shop just buying Sawgrass shirts- that doesn't sound like a lot but... they had a one day sale and most of the shirts I bought were $25! My wife (the clothes nut) finally dragged me out of there before I broke the bank! Talk about irony.
Unfortunately I didn't get to play Sawgrass, just didn't fit into the schedule. Hopefully next January.
I wear nothing but Nike. I love the form and function of the clothes. I am a huge fan of Nike, Tiger is a perk. I live near 2 Nike and Adidas outlets, but just can not do Adidas. Nike just fits better for me. In the winter time I dress better on the course than anywhere else. I feel like if you are going to play, you should look sharp.
My son is all about style and he owns NUMEROUS pairs of Puma golf shoes and clothes. He is always the best dressed player. He dresses more Euro than american but he pulls it off.
I typically wear Adidas Climacool but mix in Sligo, Puma and Poulter from time to time. I really like this euro style stuff but can't pull much of it off.
Im partial to Mizuno golf clothes. I recently bought a Mizuno Windblocker vest and a Mizuno golf shift and they are awesome.
I always wear black and I wear a belt with a big ole belt buckle. Last Sunday was the first time I played with a big belt buckle I played the best Ive ever played, so there must be something to it.
cool, its just a touchy subject for me hahaha. I started skating before it became kind of cool and I took years of harrasment and whatnot solely because I rode a skateboard, so Im a little sensitive haha
This next year plan on going against the grain and going Nostalgic. I've got nothing against the newer "Euro" look,, nut it's jut not me. I'm kinda tired of the "Golf Uniform".
Cap (not baseball style)
Shirt and Tie
Vest or sweater
Trousers (wool blends)
Shoes with Tassels
Of course off weather attire I'll go for the latest driest thing available.
It depends on the course on how loud I'll dress. If I'm playing a little muni, I'll keep it somewhat simple. If I'm playing at better course or sometimes a CC, I'll make a little crazier. I've got two pair of Loudmouth pants and probley ten pair of plaid shorts from loud to subtle. I've got 3 pair of Puma shoes to match.
Sounds like we have a bunch of Metrosexuals on here! Nothing wrong with that!
Back to the clothes. I buy top quality whatever is on sale. I prefer my clothes, hat, etc. to have no visible logos if possible. I am not an endorser and don't get paid so no reason for any product promotion. No specific brand except no Nike or Taylor Made-Addidas. Don't ask me why the answer is in the Nike hater thread.
In my opinion, (does'nt mean it is right) all those logos may make you look like a professional, but it sucks all of the "style" from a person's appearance. Like those big Addidas stripes above the shoulders or those huge ponies that Polo is plastering on their apparel. Tacky looking.
I've been wearing allot of Ashworth shirts and pants and I like them allot. I have several belts made by the House of Fleming with buckles made by Bettinardi.
Ive played a lot more upscale courses or just ones I want to look nice at. I still will wear the cargo pants at the stinky muni I play a lot at.
Name brand isnt incredibly important, though I like Nike's and Pings a lot. No need to spend $85 on a freaking shirt, so most of my stuff I'll buy at big discount. PGA Tour shirts at JC Penney go for like $12-$20 and I'll buy a couple if they look nice. Also, I'll pick up a couple closeout shirts with course logos if I can.
I also bought a sweater-vest thingy. It looks sweet.
