With the Open underway, the polo shirt is a wardrobe classic that always delivers whatever the occasion. The summer collection inspired by golf legend Tom Morris, unveils a range of polos from classic styles and hues to brighter colours inspired by the natural environment of St Andrews Links with dazzling blue, vivid orange and white all featuring prominently.
Tom Morris emphasises the use of natural yarns throughout the collection. The classic Irvine Slub Polo is crafted from 100% cotton pique. This soft shirt comes in 4 classic colours and proves that the polo shirt can be just as stylish today as when it was first invented in the 1920s. The Kinloch Slub Pique shirt is another stylish way to brighten up your polo shirt collection with some Scottish flair. The contrasting tartan collar and pocket give this piece a modern edge.
The nature of the collection means there is a need for more technical fabrics too, pieces which subscribe to the mantra of 'designed for function, styled for lifestyle'. The range is characterised by garments with hidden functions such as technical polo shirts that look like cotton polos, but with a casual every day styling.
Highlights include the ‘Bruce’ and ‘Forgan’ polos which use a 70% polyester 30% cotton fabric to create a natural look technical fabric. This clever blend means the wearer has the advantage of both yarns. Cotton is a naturally cooling and breathable yarn, while polyester wicks away moisture from the skin, dries quickly and is very durable. The result is a wonderfully soft, natural looking, lightweight but durable fabric that has hidden technical performance.
Brand fans include Olympian Michael Jamieson, Chef Tom Kitchin and TV presenter Dan Walker. The collection is available to buy online at www.tommorris.com and from stockists which include Harrods, Pebble Beach, Congressional CC, Carnoustie Links, Royal County Down, Waterville, Loch Lomond Golf Club, Celtic Manor, The Els Club and Trendy Golf.
