Radmor (it’s about the cotton)

There once was a day, not too long ago, when all of my favorite golf shirts were polyester. Maybe it was the Covid 15 (that’s 15 extra pounds) or maybe it is my getting older but I simple cannot stand wearing polyester anymore. Yes, it never wrinkles, but it is slinky and not exactly the best material for us non gym goers. Plus it’s like the plastic bottles of clothing-really bad for the environment.

On the other hand we have cotton. There is a reason cotton is the has been the material for choice for centuries and why designers keep returning to it. Unlike polyester, cotton is soft, classic, flattering, and enduring which is why cotton is pretty much all I wear now. Therefore, I was excited for my first review of relatively new golf brand called Radmor.

As someone who has worn shirts from tons of start up golf brands, I can tell you that most kind of suck and never make it past the first line but I am pretty bullish on Radmor.

Cotton is such a wonderful and natural material that it is no wonder we keep coming back to it. Recently, I was sent a single polo to check out from Radmor. Specifically, the TAYLOR BobRad Pimaformance Jersey – L / WHITE BOBRAD REPEAT.

I will spare you the details of this exact shirt but expound on what I genuinely like about the brand. Radmor was founded around sustainability and environmentally conscious design. Therefore, all of their apparel is cotton which is a million times more earth friendly than poly (maybe not a million but a lot). As a bit of a tree hugger myself, this is a good thing. However, regardless of your tree-huggary, you will love the feel and look of Radmor. Despite the alien print on my shirt, I would classify Radmor as classic. No gimmicks, just good looking solid golf shirts.

Perusing their line, you will notice pretty standard solid polos, a few stripes but nothing crazy. The collars are crisp with a touch of detail, but again, nothing outlandish. Material wise, they are cotton but not a heavy cotton. Yes, there are lots of types of cotton and not all feel the same. In Radmor’s case they mostly use Pima cotton which is very light and does not wrinkle easily. They have also added a touch of stretch making them perfect for golf or for any casual event.

Since this is my first experience with Radmor and it was limited to one shirt, I cannot personally comment on the entire line other than believe that this company is making quality golf apparel that I am looking forward to getting more of not only because I dig the look but because of the company. Specifically, Radmor carries good looking hoodies, sweatshirts, shorts and pants. The pants look exceptionally good

In today’s polarizing world, I think it is important to buy from companies that share my values and Radmor is right in line with mine. The earth is not delicate, it will shake of mankind and not look back, but humans, humans are fragile and if we are going to live on this earth we need to start taking care of it. Radmor is one of those companies who are trying to do their part by not using polyester and other material that do not decay. For that, they have my vote and my business.

Check out Radmor even if you don’t like to hug trees, cause we all like trees.
