The Oxford Golf Group, a division of Oxford Industries, recently announced the launch of several new collections for Spring 2008 and beyond. In conjunction with the new collection launches, the Oxford Golf website (www.oxfordgolf.com) has been updated with fresh photography and product information showcasing all current offerings. For men and women, the new Oxford Golf collection is the result of a continued evolution in the spirit of superior styling, quality, and sophistication in high-value golf apparel. The Spring 2008 Links Tech assortment affords men and women an even more comprehensive collection of styles in high-value performance apparel.
"Whether in luxurious mercerized pique and lisle or innovative stretch performance CoolMax ® fabrics, the classic styling that has become synonymous with Oxford Golf is ever-present in the Spring 2008 men’s collection," said Danny Gee, Vice President of Merchandise and Design. "Timeless windowpanes, argyles, and stripes carry on the tradition golfers have grown to trust from Oxford Golf." Based on growing strength and demand, Oxford Golf continues to expand its CoolMaxï?’ fabric performance category for men. In addition, the collection offers cotton knits with a special LUX CAREï?¤ finish which reduces shrinkage, fading, wrinkling, and improves overall laundering performance.
The recently launched women’s fashion deliveries, Blame it on Rio, Gold Coast, Safari Chic, and Lake Como embody Oxford Golf’s tradition of distinguished style suitable for the female golfer’s seamless transition from the links to life. The release of the new collection introduces original styles crafted in innovative materials such as bamboo and supple, liquid cotton. "Taking inspiration from the most exciting design details found in women’s sportswear, we continue to offer sophistication with the high functionality of features such as stretch CoolMaxï?’ fabric," said Dave Leveille, President of Oxford Golf.
Links Tech, an all-performance Oxford Golf Group brand, continues to grow since its highly successful launch one year ago. Newly designed men’s polos feature exciting fabrics such as a breathable mesh available in both a sporty color-blocked polo and a jersey stripe polo with exceptional surface-interest. The new women’s Links Tech line features the addition of a feminine sleeveless polo, pebble-textured polo and rip-stop jacket. Many Links Tech pieces are available in coordinating men’s and women’s styles, making it an ideal choice for all special events or tournament needs. All Links Tech styles utilize Techno Dryâ?¢ technology, an innovative performance fabric with permanent wicking built into the fibers, engineered to keep even the most demanding of athletes cool, dry, and comfortable.
