Our readers shouldn’t be strangers to Stitch Golf at this point. Between our forum members’ feedback, several home page reviews, and a recent Brand Story article, we’ve explored just about everything the company has to offer, whether it be headcovers, travel bags, golf bags, or apparel. With golf season in full swing for just about everybody in North America, Stitch’s Summer 2023 lineup is offering fresh looks to revitalize your wardrobe. We took a look at three of the new line’s polos, along with a great piece of outerwear for early or late rounds when there’s still a little chill in the air.
Walk In the Woods Polo
Choose a subtle, yet stylish print for your next round and beyond. Where style meets performance, this polo is designed with breathable, wicking fabric featuring anticmicrobial properties to keep you feeling as good as you look. The under-buttons add a simple luxury, making sure your collar stays crisp all day long.
Walk in the Woods is a delicately designed and constructed polo featuring 94% polyester and 6% spandex pique material. Stitch’s pique material stands out in a way that completely flies in the face of what we might normally consider pique to mean. For those that aren’t knowledgeable about fabric construction, pique traditionally features a waffle-like weave and is designed to be breathable and a premium looking material. However breathable it may be compared to other materials, cotton or thicker synthetics tend to negate those effects at times, especially for activities like golf.
With Walk in the Woods, Stitch has managed to create an amazingly lightweight, breathable shirt. The synthetic materials feel unnaturally natural, air seems to easily flow through the material, and perspiration evaporates quickly. To channel my inner Ned Flanders, “Feels like I’m wearing nothing at all!”
Atlantic Stripe
Perfect for any time or place. A true course, brews or barbecues polo that looks as relaxed as you feel. Pair it with cool linen bottoms or casual khakis for wherever your weekend takes you.
Stitch sent the Atlantic Stipe in Digital Pink, which unfortunately is very difficult to capture in pictures. You’ll have to take our word for it when we say it’s a combination of fine, blue and pink stripes that almost convince the eyes the shirt is slightly violet. The Atlantic Stripe is a 92% polyester and 8% spandex jersey fabric that is quite different from the pique Walk in the Woods. It’s a bit more substantial (meaning it’s a bit thicker material) and feels incredibly soft and smooth to the touch. A wash cycle made the shirt even softer and more comfortable.
Stitch uses the words “Perfect Fit” to describe how their polos fit. While perfect is often difficult to achieve, there are some glowing positives. Slouchy shoulders are a pet peeve of ours, and the Atlantic Stripe (like other Stich polos) offer nicely squared off shoulders that have the effect of broadening the chest and slimming the midsection. Keep in mind that those of you that prefer a more tailored look should consider sizing down. In fact, just about everybody would probably find sizing down a good strategy. Conveniently, Stitch offers a M/L size, which gives all the comfort of a Large without giving up arm space or length. All the Summer 2023 polos were long enough to stay tucked in, but still managed to look great untucked.
Canal Stripe
Perfect for any time or place. A true course, brews or barbecues polo that looks as relaxed as you feel. For wherever your weekend takes you. The under-buttons add a simple luxury to your new favorite polo, making sure that your collar stays crisp all day long, so you don’t look like you went for a ride around the track.
Like the Atlantic Stripe, the Canal Stripe is a more traditional design made from the same 92% polyester and 8% spandex jersey fabric. The Nantucket Breeze color (again, difficult to capture perfectly in pictures) has a light blue base with green and white striping. Like the Atlantic, the Canal would look equally at-home on the golf course or at Sunday brunch.
Stitch polos have several small details, almost Easter eggs, that set them apart. The first, and probably the most appreciated, is what they call “The Best Collar in Golf”. Everybody knows the shame of showing up to the course with bacon collar. Stitch’s collar construction and signature under-buttons hold up very well to laundering and regular wear. Other small details like contrasting stitching around buttonholes and an embossed rubber under the rear collar add to the premium look of the products.
Scout 1/4 Zip
Layering that’s a step above. This stylish layering piece is the perfect mid-weight layer to transition from the course to a dinner party in cooler months. Its unique design features an innovative performance fabric that makes this piece moisture wicking, breathable, and soft to the touch with a slightly brushed face. Finished with a quarter zip to expose your favorite STITCH® polo, a banded hem and a signature orange label on the side.
Whether you’re playing golf in the shoulder season or have an unseasonably cool day, the 1/4 Zip should be a staple of any golfer’s wardrobe. Not only do they offer added warmth and protection from wind, the design seems to go hand-in-hand with a nice, collared polo. The Scout (seen above in Navy) managed to match well with all three polos we tried.
Constructed of 90% polyester and 10% spandex, the Scout perfectly toed the line of being heavy enough to provide warmth without being too bulky for layering. A close look at the navy fabric revealed soft lines that added depth and a premium look. The M/L size matched perfectly with the same size polos, and the banded bottom avoided a sloppy look without being too tight on the midsection.
Again, Stitch’s attention to detail showed in an embossed logo, the signature orange label on the side, and a heavy-duty zipper.
