SKRATCH IN THE FIELD

For years, golf style has been dominated by slick, synthetic fabrics—polyester blends engineered for performance but often void of personality. But there's a shift happening. Quietly at first, now louder. Texture is making a comeback.
You see it in the plush knits and piqué polos from Holderness & Bourne, in the soft terry layers and full-knit silhouettes from Khalhon, and in the brushed cottons and hybrid outerwear from Peter Millar. Radmor is taking it a step further—ditching polyester altogether in favor of organic cottons and natural blends with visible character. And of course, Ralph Lauren continues to lead with heritage-rich staples—corduroy overshirts, linen layers, and soft tailoring that feel timeless but fresh.
