Why Polo Shirts Are Important To Wear On The Course

The Origins Of The Polo Shirt

Originally, polo shirts were associated with polo matches and tennis courts only, but they have evolved over the years to expand to everyday wear and other sports. Sportswear was established in the 1920s by tennis player René Lacoste, who wanted to wear a more comfortable outfit on the course. Eventually, polo shirts became regular wear for golfers in the middle of the 20th century due to being cooling, comfortable, and multi-functional.

Polo shirts are part of the golf lifestyle. Their hybrid nature of fashion and practicality makes them suitable for use by weekend warriors and professional athletes.

Why Polo Shirts Are Ideal For Golfers

Comfort and Mobility:

Flexibility is required from a golfer, and polo shirts have this characteristic covered. The fabrics used are light, and the body-friendly cut means no restriction of movement during each swing. For ultimate mobility without any restrictions look for polos that have no shoulder seams such as our Sanibel Polo. 

Breathability:

Most of the current polo shirts have been designed from fabrics that do not cling to moisture; therefore, you will not feel damp even when summing it up. This is a main characteristic of polos that have a high content of polyester which is treated to be moisture-wicking.

Sun Protection:

Most golf polos are often designed with UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor), a shade of protection against unfavorable rays while out in the field. Polos will start with a UPF rating factor of 25+ by default. You can always look at the tags to see if the garments have been treated for a higher UPF rating. 

Versatility:

Polo shirts can be worn both in the golf course environment and also go well on formal outings and to the office. Polos can easily be worn both to the office and on the course making them multi-functioning in any wardrobe for maximum use per wear.

Professional Appearance:

The essentials of golf include not only appropriate behavior but also the players’ appearance. A stylish, ironed, properly fitted polo shirt is a requirement to wear is most clubs. 

How Can You Find The Best Polo Shirt For You?

When shopping for Polo shirts, consider these key factors:

Material:

Choose fabrics that do not retain moisture, such as polyester-blend fabrics or some form of performance cotton. These materials ensure you do not sweat while playing your game and therefore are very comfortable to wear. You can find these materials used in all of our golf Jaxson Maximus Polos.

Fit:

An ideal polo shirt should neither be fitted, too loose, or too tight; it should be perfectly fitted to you. Search for styles with the narrowed part of the waist yet enough stretch to let you move freely. At Jaxson Maximus, our polos are designed to be the perfect fit for any body type.

With over 36+ years of experience measuring and designing thousands of bespoke garments, the founders of Jaxson Maximus analyze all body types to create the perfect fit that is not to loose and not to tight on the skin.

Collar Design:

When looking for a polo shirt select one that does not lose its form over time. This includes finding a collar where the edges will not roll up after multiple washes. In order to prevent collar rolling you want to look for polo shirts that have buttons on the edges or a built-in collar stay. 

At Jaxson Maximus, our collar is designed to mimic an English Bespoke collar which looks great on every single facial shape. Not to mention all of our collars have a bult-in collar stay to prevent rolling. 

Style and Color:

Although simple white or navy can never go wrong, steer clear of those boring colors when choosing your outfits and opt for colors or designs that compliment your personality.

Durability:

Choose fabrics with great stitching and excellent endurance for washing to be assured of your polo shirt’s durability. 

Why Golf Polo Shirts Are Always On Trend?

The trend with golf fashion is more or less constant, with the polo shirt being the main staple of men's golf attire. Here are some additional factors to consider when you are looking for the perfect golf polo. 

Sustainable Fabrics:

Recently, many apparel manufacturers have been using recycled polyester fabric and organic cotton. At Jaxson Maximus, our polos are made of recycled polyester making them sustainable on and off the course.

Technical Features:

When it comes to polo shirts, modern features such as anti-odor treatments and four-way stretch fabric are incorporated. These properties are usually added on as treatments to the fabric so be sure to check the shirt properties before making a purchase.

Bold Patterns:

Bold patterns such as geometric, florals, camo, and more have taken over the golf world. It has reinvented the complete outlook of modern-styled traditional golf wear.

How to Properly Take Care of Your Golf Polo Shirt

To keep your polo shirts looking and performing their best, follow these care tips:

Wash Gently:

Cold water and an entire cycle should be used to avoid the fading of clothes or shrinking of the fabric. Always check the care instructions before washing the garment as every fabric is different.

Avoid Bleach:

Choose products that do not contain bleach and are as gentle as possible. Bleach can cause the determination of color on your polo shirt.

Hang Dry:

When washed and dried, they should be left to air-dry to avoid shrinking. Most polo shirts will contain anti-wrinkle properties as well.

Store Properly:

Carefully place them in the wardrobe in such a manner that doesn’t crease them. We recommend neatly folding them or letting them hang in your closet.
