Radmor Golf
If you want to go green and move away from polyester in your golf apparel, Radmor has the sustainability and quality you’ve been looking for. It’s the first brand in the golf industry to focus on the elimination of using ‘virgin polyester” for garments. After seeing their product line at the PGA Show, I can attest to the style and comfortability of their offerings. The majority of their garments are made from either BCI (Better Cotton Initiative) organic cotton or Pima Cotton. If synthetic material is incorporated then recycled REPREVE polyester made from ocean plastic or ECONYL nylon made from recycled nylon fishing nets is used. Less than 10% of Radmor’s collection utilize these fibers, but in a few cases it’s deemed a necessity. For more information: Radmor Golf
2UNDR
I was casually strolling down the aisles of the massive Orange County Convention Center and I suddenly notice a large picture of Rickie Fowler holding a package of colorful underwear. Following a little research, I found out Rickie has been promoting 2UNDR, a company that specializes in high-performance men’s athletic underwear. 2UNDR offers a wide variety of colorful designs such as camo, island and Ryder Cup inspired prints (to name a few) with no roll waistbands. 2UNDR also offers polos, tees, button downs, pullovers, shorts, pant, socks, hats, beanies and travel bags.

IBKUL
With its vibrant color schemes and designs, IBKUL was a clothing line easy to spot at the Show. If looking cool and feeling cool is your goal on the course, especially on hot and humid days, this might be the brand for you. A moisture fabric, featuring iceƒil technology, works together with your body’s perspiration to create a cooling thermal reaction that lowers your temperature up to five degrees. IBKUL garments offer UPF 50+ sun protection to combat harmful UVA and UVB rays and wicking antimicrobial fabric to keep you odor-free on and off the course. Their extensive line includes shirts, dresses, jackets, vests, shorts, skorts, pants, tee shirts and accessories. Women, girls and mens fashions are available. For more information: IBKUL
Danini
A Canadian company that debuted in 2017, Danini’s simple philosophy is clearly stated by its founder and CEO Jacky Ramchandani. He says: “I believe that the best shirts combine four major components: perfect fit, luxurious fabrics, immaculate details, and competitive prices.” Danini’s product line includes polos, dress shirts, short shirts, knit shirts as well as hoodies, shorts and pants.

Swannies Golf
Started by three golf friends who grew up caddying at high end country clubs and playing on cheap munis, Swannies Golf apparel is a personification of their past experiences. Their idea was to create an affordably priced modern brand for golfers who want to look good regardless of where they play. Their polos sport some innovative designs and prints and are priced at $59. I really like their tee shirt line, too (priced at $27). Swannies also offers shorts, outerwear, hats, regional hats, a backpack and women’s styles (coming in Spring 2022).
