Sporting golf attire: baggy is out and tight is in

USA -- The baggy shirt look for golfers has been "in" for years, but Anne Ingham, vice president of design for Tehama and Izod G, told PGA.com that people's golf fashion attitudes are changing.

Tehama, owned by movie icon Clint Eastwood and golf apparel veteran businesswoman Nancy Haley, has helped shape those attitudes, particularly with the success of their Hang 'Em Dry collection of mocks and polos.

"People are actually wanting [shirts] to be smaller," Ingham said. "People who used to wear a large are sometimes going to a medium now because they want a little bit tighter look."

The tighter look in golf fashion, Ingham said, follows what is happening on the retail side.

"These consumers are more into what's happening at retail," Ingham said. "Some people just go in a buy a large [shirt] and it might fit them and it might not. But our fits were never oversized to begin with."
