Hi-loft sherpa fleece headcovers hand-sewn in California, with vintage ski-resort and country-club patches sewn on top.

About Après Golf

Après Golf sells provenance you cannot order twice. The covers are hi-loft sherpa fleece, hand-sewn in a California factory that has been running since 1992, but the reason people stop you on the tee is the patch on the front: Chamonix, St. Moritz, Alta, Mad River Glen, cut off ski jackets someone wore somewhere before they got near a golf bag.

The name comes from après-ski, the part of a ski day after the skiing. Après buys vintage ski-resort and country-club patches, cuts fleece around them and sells the result to golfers. In its own words: "We source vintage patches, create new patches, embroider logos and print custom designs." The tie-dye prints are the ones people ask about, and the vintage patches are the ones that will not be repeatable.

The catalog runs to about fifty pieces across eight groups, from $38 to $138, and the Fruit Looper at $88 is the clearest version of the idea. There is also a custom program where you post them a patch of your own. We profiled Après Golf in September 2026.
