Custom Shirts for Attractive Golf Style

Posted by ssashirts on December 23rd, 2014

A lot of people mistake standard polo shirts for golf shirts, when in fact; they are two very different designs. While golf shirts are derived from the classic style of traditional polo shirts, with short sleeves and plackets and rib-knit collars, there are certain distinctions that set them apart from other styles and types of polo t-shirts. True golf shirts, for instance, can be distinguished by their tailored collars and set-on or separate plackets, independently sewn onto place. Golf shirts also have a chest pocket and hemmed sleeves. The pocket is traditionally located on the right breast side of the shirt, in true golf style. This is so that the extra feature does not interfere with the wearer's swing. Pocket placement, however, can depend on the player's preference, which is why it is often better to have golf shirts customised to make sure that the piece is tailored to your specifications. Others still, prefer pocket-less golf shirts and instead choose to have their insignia or logo embroidered or printed where the pocket should be.

Another distinction from classic polo shirts is the size of the sleeves. Golf shirt sleeves are longer and more generously sized, with lengths falling just above the wearer's elbow. Classic polo shirts are shorter. If you want a top of the line golf shirt design, choose something that offers these features.

The weight of the fabric is also an important consideration when you want a high-quality custom designed golf shirt. Generally, people choose fabrics with high cotton content as these kinds of fabrics offer great comfort and breathability. Knits also vary from interlocking knits to pique mesh knits, lisle, plaited, and jersey knits. All these knits are suitable for embroidery.

Good golf t-shirts are made of high quality materials. Depending on your style preference, you may choose a golf shirt that incorporates a tail. Plackets and sleeves are traditionally top stitched. This gives the shirt a cleaner and more finished appearance both inside and outside the piece.

When having a golf shirt made custom, choose materials that will retain the shirt's colour and size even with constant and frequent use. A quality golf shirt has three key characteristics, including high quality raw materials, excellent stitching, and good cut. Add a fourth factor, which is the shirt's overall look and performance, and you get an attractive, durable, and high quality golf shirt to last.
