The yin and yang of fashion golf (Golf Fashion History) is clearly vs. traditional techniques. Of course, the opposing forces are often together invisibly. Much of the traditional golf clothes are apparently made with performance fabrics and modern processes, whether from Dunning, Fairway & Greene, or Polo Ralph Lauren, who showed his two collections separately, to address both needs, last week at its headquarters in New York.
Symbolic of the company as a whole are perhaps the exhibition of Ralph Lauren to themselves: a sanctuary of masculine style with dark wood paneling and hunting scenes on the walls, housed in a modern skyscraper with stainless steel studs and green glass facades on Madison Avenue. The dichotomy in golf fashion is indicated by the two collections – Polo Golf and RLX – displayed in the same room.
The first evokes the classic look of Ben Hogan and country-club high life in Newport Beach and Coral Gables: cotton knit shirts (UN-mercerized to preserve the natural softness and drape), silk garments, striped shorts, cardigans wiring; Fair Isle vests, cream and several former Timey peaks, including a new logo for the harvest of golfers in the future game is said to require 69,000 points (not by hand, we hope).
The second line, RLX is all about performance and cutting-edge art, polyester stretching, "air flow" in the striped shirts, bright colors (raspberry, green chroma), and hidden pockets for holding your shirts and so on. The fit is much closer to the body. An example of this is for Luke Donald, Pro Tour sponsored by the line.
Which approach is winning? RLX collection now constitutes 40 percent of sales of golf, according to executives at Ralph Lauren, compared to only 8 percent some years ago (he refused to say exactly when). This suggests an explosive growth in performance clothing (RLX) at the expense of the classic. , But has cut sales RLX Polo Golf? Ralph Lauren executives would say no. As noted above, there is some interaction between the two approaches. RLX line has classic pieces – a cricket sweater, for example, or an argyle vest – Polo Golf and has many performance features. So the path of fashion is blurred.
More importantly, can not be one or the other thing. No matter what your style guide, a player does not necessarily completely traditional wear every time you play golf, just like people do not demands used in every professional context. The player chooses their appearance according to many factors: your golf buddies, the level of prestige of the club or course is playing, whether or not you see your boss or important clients in the course, time, and so on.
The fashion reality is that many individuals feel comfortable going traditional in some contexts and informal or modern of others.
HAPPY FEET
The largest manufacturer of footwear Golf, FootJoy, has perhaps a similar problem in maintaining a traditional approach, while not losing the opportunity to look younger, performance. This week FootJoy introduced a new performance golf shoe, FJ Sport, designed for "the player looking for bold, inspired athletic golf shoes.
Long a leader in the classic golf shoes waterproof, FootJoy faces stiff competition from sportswear giants Nike and Adidas, whose products are sports shoes almost exclusively in his eyes. However, the parameters are slightly different here. All golf shoes must perform. If your shoes are not waterproof, or are uncomfortable or unstable during the swing, then what good are they? Shoes are more than acts as fashion teams.
FootJoy and makes a lot of athletic inspiration golf shoes, but the new model complements the elegant, high-end shoes FJ icon. The FJ Sport top features full grain leather, mesh linings, and soft, lightweight cushioning. Icon expenses FJ about $ 250; FJ sport will sell for $ 135.
PRESIDENTIAL STYLE

(The official apparel sponsor for the U.S. team was Ashworth Golf, the official apparel sponsor for a long time his Captain Fred Couples.) The Presidents Cup uniforms included Greg Norman many of the patterns of diamonds and colored shirts blocked some – especially in high performance fabrics, of course.
