The good people at Carnoustie, the golf apparel company, sent over some samples for us to try out. The Carnoustie Golf Links has a long and storied history in the annals of golf. Its namesake apparel company take a traditional approach to style and cut.
When you think of a golf shirt, this is it in terms of style and cut – Carnoustie really nails it. Long in the arms and waist, Carnoustie deals in that classic look. Solid colors and horizontal stripes dominate the 2017 collection. As for the fabrics, Carnoustie uses some wicking-type fabric – which works well on-course.
The pullover sent was whole different story. The XL, which is my size, was way too big under the arms and way too short at the waist. A good pullover needs to get out the way during the golf swing. I’ve found the best pullovers are fitted under the arms and longer past the waist. Carnoustie’s version needs to go back to the design drawing board.
All in all, keep an eye out for Carnoustie gear – it’s worth a try.
