Royal and Awesome – For the pars and the bars! What is NOT to like about this company?? They had me at their tagline….

Royal and Awesome is one of Scotland’s newest and brightest golf clothing brand. The company was launched last April and is making great strides in both the UK and North America. The clothing is not for the faint of heart – it is bright, bold, and definitely a fashion statement! We gals here at Three Guys Golf love everything about Royal and Awesome.

I recently wore the Women’s Old Tom’s Shorts with the blue Awesome shirt. The shorts are 97% cotton and 3% spandex and they fit great. The length is perfect and they were very comfortable on an extremely hot Georgia day. The attention to detail on these shorts need not be overlooked – all Royal and Awesome pants/shorts have tee holders above the right pocket. Big deal you say? Did I mention that all pants/shorts also come with a multi-purpose tool? Yes, thats right. Not only can you repair your divot and mark your ball, you can also open your beer with this cute multitasking gizmo. Again ladies, for the pars AND the bars.

To complete my Royal and Awesome ensemble, I also wore the Awesome white belt. This is a one size fits all deal so there is no second guessing on your order. I just cut the belt to fit my waist and off I went. (Even a man could do it – it’s just that simple.) This belt will go with many of my golf outfits, and it will definitely ramp up the awesomeness of whatever I wear.

My golf partner Susan also likes to look Royal and Awesome when she is out for the pars (or the bars for that matter). Susan wore what might be the BEST looking pair of women’s golf pants that I have ever seen. Jealous much? No, because I went out and ordered the same pants, so I’m good. Anywho, the Women’s Pink Ticket pants are honestly so awesome that you could wear these when you are not on the course.

What Susan absolutely loved about them was the stride. She swore that these Awesome pink pants have the perfect fit in that they are not too long or short in the mid section and that the waist and seat of the pants didn’t stretch while she played. Her Pink Ticket pants also have the tee holders and came with the beer opener, I mean golf tool. Susan paired her new favorite pair of pants with the Royal and Awesome white shirt and she looked annoyingly awesome.

As far as pricing goes, we found that Royal and Awesome is very fair. The Pink Ticket pants are $85 and the Old Tom’s shorts are $65 and included free delivery. Both washed well, as did the shirts. The quality is good and the awesomeness is better!

True story: On my way home from my first round of golf wearing Royal and Awesome pants I decided to stop off at Subway to buy the family some lunch with my golf winnings (see how I slipped that fact in?). Anyhow, as I made my way down the line, the kid behind the counter says “cool shorts!”  to which I stepped back a bit (the counter was partially blocking his view) and pronounced “they are actually pants”. His response, “even better!”. Perhaps this point is exactly why the name of the company is Royal and Awesome because why just be Royal OR Awesome when you can be both.

Us Americans may think that Loudmouth Golf is the only one in the “wacky pattern” business but across the pond Royal and Awesome have been making hay in this market as well. So while Royal and Awesome may be new to many of us, they have a number of great patterns and a growing product line. More importantly, the quality is solid. My mantra is that you can only get away with crazy clothes if they are superior in quality. Otherwise you just look like a dope.

Clearly, Royal and Awesome is not for everyone, but if you are one of the braver folks who does not mind making a statement, rest assured 1) you will make new friends and 2) you will not be disappointed with the quality. As I alluded to earlier, quality is a trump card in my book. In other words, I have no fear wearing slightly outrageous attire as long as it is made and tailored well.

Both the shorts and trousers are 97% cotton, 3% spandex which means they are substantial. These feel like real clothes and not a cheap stunt. They also have a few quirks like the golf tee loops (although I never used them) and a divot repair/bottle opener (which I use all of the time). Seriously, it is a great divot repair tool.

Hailing from the UK, Royal and Awesome offers shorts, pants and caps for men as well as skorts and shorts for the ladies. In the case of the pants and shorts, they pockets are deep, the length is correct and the sizing true. Moreover, they are double buttoned with a solid zipper. Get it? They are made well.

So if you are looking to brighten up your wardrobe a bit, Royal and Awesome will certainly give it a kick in the old arse. Despite the fact that they are a UK company, they do have warehouses in the US so shipping to America will not cost you an arm and a leg. You can see the whole line of Royal and Awesome on their website.
