Expansive Collection Features Array of New Colors, Fabric Technologies
(Markham, Ontario) – Ralph Dunning – founder and principal designer of Dunning Golf – introduces his Fall 2008 collection of performance apparel showcasing a modern country club aesthetic across more than 200 distinct pieces featuring the brand’s timeless styling and proprietary fabric technologies.
Crafted in close collaboration with Dunning Golf’s elite PGA Tour staff that includes John Senden and 2007 Masters champion Zach Johnson, the collection blends clean, modern silhouettes with classic prep looks and colors that speak directly to the traditions of the game. This is embodied in pieces like the Thermal Performance Wool Turtleneck – crafted from a high-tech, machine-washable merino wool – and the Interface Pique Varsity Polo. The latter blends a long-lasting shape with “prep” style via its ribbed, spandex-infused collar with underside detailing.
“Serious players of all ages are embracing the performance advantages that a proper apparel system provides,” says Dunning. “The new collection pairs those benefits with luxurious fabrics in cuts and colors suited to both traditional and modern looks. This results in clothes that are perfect for the course or relaxing at the club.”
Constructed using the best production facilities and highest quality materials, the head-to-toe line includes polos, pants, shorts, compression undergarments, thermal tops and sweaters, outerwear, accessories, headwear and “lifestyle” shirts. All showcase Dunning Golf’s unrivalled attention to detail in proprietary fabric technologies which ensure increased airflow, moisture wicking, breathability and UV protection that will not wash- or wear-out for the life of a garment.
Dunning Golf continues to strengthen its presence throughout North America via focused distribution at marquee clubs and resorts including Coppinwood Golf Club, Dallas National Golf Club, Hazeltine National Golf Club, Isleworth Country Club, Ritz Carlton Golf Club (Jupiter, FL), Sherwood Country Club, Southern Highlands Golf Club, Trump National, Wynn Las Vegas and Vaquero Club. The line is also available at Canada’s premier golf retailer, Golf Town.
The Fall 2008 collection will begin shipping in early July and retail from $35 for some compression undergarments to $250 for the Thermal Performance Wool Turtleneck. Short sleeve polos in solid, two-tone and stripe options retail from $69 to $109. Sizes range from XS-2XL in tops (select pieces in 3XL) and 30″-42″ in bottoms.
