Woodgrain Golf is two people in New York making the golf clothes from old photos: wide trousers with double pleats, cable-knit vests, heavy knits and caps with real hardware on the back. Their pitch is simple. Somewhere along the way golf clothes got tighter, brighter and more technical, and Woodgrain wants the older shapes back, cut to actually play in.
The Legacy Double Pleated Trouser is the piece that makes the case. It is 100% cotton, cut wide, with two deep pleats on each side, and it hangs the way trousers did before every golf pant became a slim five-pocket. In cream with a navy knit, it is the best-looking thing on the page. The pleated shorts do the same job for an Austin summer, and at $130 in every size they are the easiest place to start. The hats are $49, and the brown plaid wool cap with “Swing smooth, Dress sharp” printed inside is the one we would wear first.
Woodgrain started in New York with two founders, who sign the brand’s story “Christian & Em.” They write that they both grew up around golf and wanted pieces with “that older feel” that still made sense to golf in: “oversized polos, wider trousers, knitwear, old hats.” The current release is Collection 4, and the brand sells in numbered drops with early access by text. Orders ship in seven to nine business days, and US shipping is free over $100. All 14 pieces below were in stock on woodgrain.golf on October 12, 2026, several of them in only one or two sizes.
