2020 GolfWRX Holiday Gift Guide: Gifts for the Clothes Horse
It’s that time of year again, GolfWRX members, the moment we start filling our wish lists with the golf gear we want this holiday season.
The GolfWRX Holiday Gift Guide was created to ensure that our readers give (and hopefully receive) the very best golf gifts on the planet. These gift ideas will suit any budget, and each item was hand-picked by our staff.
In an effort to provide more value and tailored recommendations, we’re presenting our guide as a series this year, targeting “the purist,” “the gearhead,” “the value seeker,” “the golfer looking to get better,” “the clothes horse,” and “the big spender.”
You know the clothes horse by his closet full of the latest and greatest in golfwear—from a rainbow of polos to enough baseball caps to outfit an entire MLB roster. And more than likely, he/she has more than three pairs of golf shoes in the trunk of the car.
Here are our best recommendations for “the clothes horse” in your life.
FEATURED LOOK: Puma Golf Excellent Golf Wear Collection
What’s not to love about a line that represents the golfer, the athlete, and the weekend lounger all in one?
Puma Golf, who have always been forward thinking in its pursuit to give golfers something fresh, have delivered something that we at WRX think will be the new golf look of the future. Yes, there is a golf hoodie, but it’s also a look that can truly be worn at the country club, the gym or on the couch. It’s a tricky endeavor to toe the line between formal golf attire and the athletic, but Puma has cracked the code.
On-course attire, little by little, is transitioning into more tennis-inspired looks, and it’s a good thing. All players are looking for comfort, performance, and versatility—even the RS-G shoes can be worn to play 36 and go straight to the gym.
Head to toe this whole get-up works on every level.
Hat: Puma’s Golf Wear Circle Patch
Jacket/Hoodie: Runway Golf Hoodie: The classic hoodie now designed for the golf course! The Runway Hoodie is perfect for a casual, chilly day as you head to the range or to run errands.
Shirt: CloudSpun Henley Golf Shirt: The CloudSpun Henley – the perfect piece to wear anywhere life takes you. Part of the Excellent Golfwear Collection, the perfect blend of performance and lifestyle.
Pants: Tarmac Golf Joggers: Designed for comfort, travel and cool days at the range. Featuring an elastic waistband with a drawstring and a faux fly to give them a more elevated feel.
Shoes: RS-G: The new bold & bulky silhouette inspired by Puma’s RS-X is designed to celebrate re-invention and innovation and conquer the golf course in style. The hype is real.
True Linkswear: TruLux knit: $185
True’s first-ever fully waterproof knit shoe, this sneaker-inspired look is garnering rave reviews.
G/Fore: Tour 5-Pocket Pants: $185
G/FORE paired their top-selling 5 Pocket pant silhouette with performance components that their sponsored tour players found the most important & efficient for their game: mobility, moisture-control properties, breathability, and comfort.
Criquet: Sweater Fleece Jacket: $165
Criquet’s best-selling fleece jacket has really become a true winter workhorse for me. It’s the perfect weight for most chilly weather and has a really cool, throw-back vibe to it. I really love this color, River Phoenix, as it pairs well with almost every color of pants. It’s just a badass versatile piece. – Johnny Wunder
Sugarloaf Social Club: Classic SSC Arrow Cap: $40
With everything but the navy colorway sold out, the Classic SSC Arrow Cap is a subtle, perfectly executed “dad hat” that lets everyone know you run with the low-key golf hipster crowd.
Linksoul: Dry-Tek Quarter Zip: $101
“The Dry-Tek Quarter Zip is brand new this season from Linksoul. This cotton/poly midlayer is perfect for those transitional autumn days. It’s lightweight and features moisture wicking properties as well as plenty of natural stretch. Features a Linksoul detailed zipper as well as patch detailing on the left hip.”
FootJoy: 1857 Sueded Cotton 5 Pocket Trousers: $125
“The Sueded Cotton 5-Pocket Pant is brand new this season from FootJoy and is part of their 1857 collection. This incredibly soft, sueded fabric is built in a 5-pocket style with straight legs and subtle, 1857 detailing.”
Muni Kids: “Old E” Bogeys Suck Tee (Black): $27.95
According to the folks at Muni Kids, “Old E”…”is our Muni twist on the infamous Compton hats that were a staple in hip hop culture in the 80s and 90s.” We just say this is a simple, stylish presentation of an essential golf truth.
Jordan 5 Low: $220
Greyson Cokato Hoodie: $165
Constructed from a technical blend of nylon and elastane, the Cokato golf hoodie was developed with serious functionality and an elevated sense of style in mind. The brushback knit fabric is breathable, lightweight, and buttery soft, perfect for a weekend spent lounging at home or hitting golf balls at the driving range. Decorated with a perforated camo interior neck, blind seams, and an elongated engineered utility pocket on the front right side of the garment. The hood is built as a funnel neck for warmth and style.
