Golf has become a pretty stylish game, and I am reminded of the wool tartan pants, the heavy golf shoes, and argyle sweaters that my uncle used to wear back in the seventies – kind of a Bob Hope in technicolor. With a whole new generation of players in an era where performance fabrics are part of everyday life, our latest collection of custom-made golf attire caters to the dynamic needs of the game and the lifestyle.
Living in a neighborhood surrounded by golf courses, I often see post-golf game guys proudly dressed in their golf attire, worn as a status symbol pre-or post-game. Being able to comfortably wear your golf gear on and off the golf course is something we see more and more as most modern lifestyles today have blurred the confines of how to dress on and off the clock.
Our new polos launched for summer cater perfectly to a game of golf or be worn under sportcoats for any day of the week. We are showing new solids in Tech poly that can be optioned with tipping and contrast options. Playful prints are showing up more and more, and we are seeing the trend of moving away from just solid-color polos. Our selection from Ratti and Canclini are perfect performance fabrics that have proven to be great go-to’s for golfers. The high percentage of stretch in both these fabric qualities allows for a full range of motion which is perfect for your swing. All of our performance knit polo fabrics have wicking and breathability characteristics making them perfect for the heat and helping you stay cool during the game. Of course, these characteristics work perfectly well off the golf course and in everyday life, and another reason to go with custom-made rather than off the peg.
Professional golfers like their clothes to be fitted to their body, as is the current silhouette across all menswear, without sacrificing the ease of movement while playing even the most challenging of shots. This ease of wear is another reason why the modern golfer should prefer custom-made golf pieces from J.Hilburn to avoid what I describe as the “Adam Sandler” look, which most don’t consider appropriate for the golf course.
Our golf pants and shorts offer incredible value in performance fabrics with 4-way stretch, cotton stretch, and tech poly stretch options. From a special golf waistband construction incorporating a gripper to keep your shirt neatly tucked in, to a useful tee holder option and golf card pockets across chino, short and 5-pocket styles, we have you covered. The 5-pocket style is perhaps the latest pant to show up on the golf course, and worn with one of our custom-made golf belts; you have a look that any professional player would be envious of.
I like to say that we may not be able to help you with improving your game, but improving your golf style is something we specialize in at J.Hilburn as the golf season begins to kick off – or is it tee off?
