The Antigua Spring 2012 performance golf fashion collection is fresh and bright and fun and new. It introduces shades of cool wedgewood, bright berry, electric keylime, sharp melon, rich azalea and a wash of turquoise. Paired with every shade of neutral and along with shades of grey the bright colors compliment the subtle neutrals in an unexpectedly pleasing palette.

Complimenting the use of color is the merchandised offering which offers textured drop needle horizontal and vertical fabrics, subtle piping details on a textured style, incorporating a block of fabric and color for simplicity, and including the compliment of a soft contrast stripe all tell the same story. Embellishing the offering with a full on splash of color makes this Spring 2012 presentation sharp and fresh. www.antigua.com and shop.antigua.com.

Add to this the tie in with the complimenting outerwear which Antigua has expanded in both layering styles as well as sweaters, vests and wind shells enhances the color story and presentation. The initial introduction of the line to date has been well received and gives confidence that the direction of color as a new tradition will be followed up as we develop our upcoming Summer collection.

2012 Sunice Golf Wear:

The Sunice Golf 2012 men’s color palette offers updated blues and orange to brighten collections of basic black, charcoal and navy. Product embossing details allows for a new take on traditional colors like grey and adds visual interest to exciting new colors like regatta. A classic American combination of red, white and blue is evident throughout the collection and takes a nod to Sunice’s involvement as Official supplier of outerwear for the 2011 / 2013 Solheim Cup USA Team.  

A full stretch suit in a charcoal windowpane print brings the freshness of white and regatta to a classic golf mainstay. The ladies collection highlights the ever-popular pure white and joins the rainbow of color through a rich purple named diva and a new take on pink with petunia. The addition of abstract prints help make the ladies outerwear unlike any other outerwear brand in the market. Charcoal, which is often viewed as a very masculine color has received the Sunice touch and is suddenly very feminine and offered in a hue that is flattering and a pretty addition to any woman’s wardrobe. Dollops of petunia also help in updating this outerwear standard.  

The collection has updated cutting and welding techniques combined with innovative fabrics to achieve the brands positioning as the ultimate fusion of science and style. Sunice is For Your Freedom of Play™ in design, philosophy and practicality. Updated classic cuts, interesting contrasts and subtle detailing give the collection a clean contemporary feel. Sunice has once again stayed true to it’s promise of providing comfort and the ultimate freedom of movement and offers a range with the ability to meet form and function in it’s most creative sense. New styles, colors, cuts and prints are bound to leave an impression on 2012.


Sunice ProSport and Sport Layers Collection:

Taking what we do best and applying it outside of the raingear spectrum has resulted in a Sunice ProSport and Sport Layering Collection. These categories feature Windstopper® by Gore as its high-end performance gear down to basic, lightweight and fashion driven layering pieces. A true mélange of science and style in soft shells, sweaters, lightweight layering, thermal layering and windgear pieces.

What's New & Exciting For 2012? 

Contrary to popular belief, adding layers to your golf wardrobe can enhance your overall physical performance and ultimately improve your golf game. Properly designed performance layers become an integral part of your game enhancing equipment. Sunice Performance Layers are designed to create the ultimate golf apparel layering system that allows golfers to play at their very best in all weather conditions. Certain weather conditions demand the ultimate protection but it’s not always raining and windy. For early in the season, cool mornings or damp at dawn, when you need an extra layer without the extra bulk or weight, the Otaki SuperLite FX™ Pullover is back and remains the ultimate choice. Invisible chest pocket zipper and moisture wicking properties are a couple of details that makes this piece stand out from the rest. Bright new color combinations also add interest. 

Four completely new styles offer variety in pullover and full zip, shortsleeve and longsleeve, solid and plaid and an assortment of different weights. The new Winchester Thermal Lifestyle Jacket is also bound to get you noticed on and off the course. 

For those weather conditions that are a little more demanding yet still do not have you reaching into your bag for a rainsuit, your ultimate choice should be a WindStopper® garment. The most breathable, 100% windproof, highly water repellent styles available from Sunice include the new Shellbrook as a lightweight pullover; while the Tamworth, York and Bantry all provide new design options in our infamous Windstopper® lined sweaters. One of the most important features in providing comfort in a garment is the fabrics ability to breath. Nothing comes close to the performance of Windstopper®, yet another high quality fabric from our friends at Gore®. Classic colors such as Midnight and Platinum Melange bring tradition to a very cutting edge, technical fabrication. 

Tommy Hilfiger Golf For the Spring 2012

Tommy Hilfiger golf collection, the same design philosophy of bringing a fresh perspective to Classic American Cool styling was adhered to and the result is a collection true to the Tommy Hilfiger heritage and true to golf. Making this brand appeal to the golf consumer meant designing a line that truly displays golf sportswear that can be worn on and off the golf course.

As golf has evolved over the centuries, so has the apparel worn for golf. Traditionally a cotton driven category, golf wear has followed suit with the emergence of the vast variety of technical apparel that now has a strong place in the golf market. To be a true player in this category, an approach of bringing technical fabrics to this collection was imperative.

The end result is an offering that features strong Classics essential for any golf wardrobe and an assortment of Fashion Collections that truly deliver “Preppy with a Twist” to the fairways and greens. A signature grosgrain tape was developed to help distinguish the line and is evident in it’s classic navy, white and green detailing on all core items for both men and women.

An assortment of fits accommodates the freedom of movement required in the back swing and longer polo lengths stay firmly tucked during play. A few other details specific to the collection and making it golf friendly include the addition of stretch in bottoms and no left chest logoing allowing for clubs to nicely display their club crests.
