About TravisMathew

TravisMathew is a Californian apparel brand that sits between golf clothing and ordinary clothes, and that overlap is the whole proposition.

The range

Polos are the signature piece, cut and finished so they do not announce themselves as golfwear off the course, alongside tees, trousers and shorts, outerwear, hoodies, shoes and hats, for men and women. Fabrics are branded rather than generic — Cloud, FiberCloud, Cloud Waffle and the Heater line for cold weather — and the differences are real: the Cloud family is soft and stretchy for warm days, the Heater pieces are the ones for a February round. There are regular collaborations with baseball teams and college programmes.

Golf clothing that works as clothing

The practical case is simple. A performance polo has to stretch through a swing, wick sweat and not crease into a mess after four hours, and most clothes that do that look like sportswear. TravisMathew's buy is aimed at the person who wants to play a round and then go out to lunch without changing. If you are buying purely for the course, check the club's dress code before assuming — some still specify collars, and some prohibit denim and cargo pockets regardless of how smart the fabric is.

Fit and buying from the UK

Sizing is American and cut generously through the body compared with British tailoring, so read the measurements rather than converting a size, and note whether a garment is described as classic or athletic fit. Performance fabrics with elastane need cool washes and no tumble drying if they are to keep their shape — heat is what kills stretch. This is a US brand, so a UK order will normally carry import VAT and possibly duty at delivery, and returns cross the Atlantic; check the terms before ordering two sizes to compare.
