Glossary

Our famous brand golf shirts feature the latest technology in golf apparel. Listed below you will find descriptions of some of the many features available

Moisture Wicking

All moisture wicking shirts are polyester or polyester blends. These are treated with a special finish that absorbs moisture or sweat and wicks it away from your body. This allows the moisture to be drawn to the surface of the fabric where it can easily evaporate, giving the shirt a cooling effect. Many of these products are made of lighter weight fabrics that make them even more comfortable to wear on those hot days. The added bonus is that polyester is inherently resistant to fading and shrinking, making these shirts wear even longer, and a better value.

Mercerized Cotton

Generally the most luxurious of all fabrics used in the making of golf shirts. Only the finest long staple cotton is selected, and then it is specially treated or mercerized to give it more luster and strength. The end result of using these smaller, finer, stronger, mercerized yarns, is that you get a fabric with a silky touch and luxurious hand. Mercerized cotton has been used for years in the finest golf shirts and polo shirts available.

Pique Knit

This refers to the weave pattern in the fabric and is sometimes called a waffle weave. If you look closely how the yarns are knitted together, you will see that some yarns are higher than others creating small squares, or other geometric shapes. Most all types of yarns from 100% cotton to 100% polyester or all of the blends in between can have a pique knit pattern.

Jersey Knit

This also refers to the type of weave in the fabric. A jersey, or flat weave, has all of the yarns on the surface of the fabric at the same level, giving the fabric a softer or smoother hand. Again, a jersey knit can be done on a variety of types of fabrics including cotton and polyester.

Ottoman Weave

The ottoman weave or knit has a distinctive ribbed or corded effect that produces lines on the fabric that may run in either direction. This fabric will have more texture to achieve this distinctive look.

Interlock

This is a tighter stitch fabric usually done with finer yarns to give it a softer feel. Because more yarns are packed in, it usually has a beefier feel to it as well.

Pima Cotton

Named for the Pima Indians in the Southwest US. Because it is a long, smooth, strong fiber it is generally revered to be one of the best cottons in the world.

Jacquard

This is a patterned fabric, and may be woven in one color or multiple colors. Most often in golf shirts you may find a jacquard collar that has a multi-colored pattern woven into it.
