The TGI Take

Some of the most interesting golf clothing right now is coming out of the UK, and most of it still hasn’t made it into American pro shops. These are six independent brands we think would look right at home on a US course, from a muni in Austin to a windy coastal track. Before the picks, here’s what we think British brands do better than almost anyone.

They dress for weather, not for a catalog. British golf is played in wind and rain most of the year, and it shows. Parmore’s journal says UK weather “changes by the hour,” Three Putt picks fabrics for an exposed links in February, and No Return Club made a wind shirt for when the forecast can’t make up its mind. Sounder named its fleece for the Himalayas putting course at St Andrews. You get light, packable layers that make sense together. That’s exactly what a Texas winter round needs, when it starts cold and warms up by the turn.

They know their materials. Son of Edmond makes its headcovers from wool woven in Yorkshire mills and carries a British Wool license. No Return Club covers its drivers in Harris Tweed, the cloth handwoven in Scotland’s Outer Hebrides. Casualist and Sounder make most of their polos and knits in Portugal. Fabric is the story, and it’s rare to see that from American golf brands at these prices.

They dress for the clubhouse and the pub. In Britain the round usually ends with a pint, so the clothes have to work off the course too. Three Putt says its clothes need to “look right in the pub afterwards.” Casualist’s pleated trousers and Sounder’s buttonless polo don’t read as golf until you see the bag. That’s the look American independents have been chasing for years, and the British have been dressing that way all along.

They poke fun at the members’ club. British golf still runs on clubs, dress codes and committees, and these brands push back with humor rather than anger. Look at the names: Three Putt and No Return Club. Then there’s a cow on a chair drinking tea, and a brass skull for marking your ball. Parmore asks why golf clothes still look like 1987. It’s the same instinct behind the best independent American brands, done in a drier accent.

They keep it small. Son of Edmond makes its covers by hand, No Return Club made 50 of its brass skull marker, and its newest Harris Tweed covers come in extremely limited quantities. Buy what you like when you see it; restocks aren’t guaranteed.

The six cover a lot of ground. Parmore and Three Putt are streetwear first. Casualist and Sounder are the grown-up end. Son of Edmond and No Return Club do the bag: wool and tweed headcovers, plus a few pieces of metal for your pocket.

A few practical notes for American buyers: every price here is in pounds with an approximate dollar figure, sizes run British, and shipping and duties vary by brand, so check at checkout.

If you buy one thing from each brand: the Parmore stripe polo, the Three Putt Contours hoodie, the Ilkley Moor putter cover, the Casualist pleated trousers, the Sounder Capri polo and the Pink Lemonade cover from No Return Club.
