Industry-Leading Performance Fabrics, Classic Prep Styles Available April 6
(TORONTO) — Leading men’s sportswear brand Dunning announces a micro-collection of four polos in limited-editions of 100 featuring a five-inch version of the company’s logo as inspired by looks staff player Zach Johnson will premier during the 2009 Masters tournament.
Available starting April 6 exclusively by special order through pro shops and online at www.dunningsportswear.com, these ‘Tour Logo’ shirts — the Interface Stretch Classic Polo, Interface Stretch Prep Polo, Interface Pique Sheffield Polo and Interface Stretch Solid Polo — will retail from $89 to $99. Each garment showcases Dunning’s proprietary technical fabrications while offering classic tailoring, traditional prep colors and a consistently elegant hand.
“Zach is a tremendous brand ambassador who recognizes the positive impact a proper wardrobe can have on his play,” says company founder Ralph Dunning. “Immediately after his 2007 Masters win and ever since, we’ve received inquiries for polos featuring the larger logo as consumers see it on TV and at tournaments. It’s a look that is distinct from anything you can traditionally find at retail, while remaining understated and true to our authentic country club heritage.”
Dunning’s acclaimed golf collection features clean lines and proper fits crafted from a variety of luxurious natural and performance fabrics. Game-enhancing characteristics — such as increased airflow, unmatched breathability, moisture wicking, odor resistance and UV protection — are literally built into the performance textile, guaranteeing they will not wear- or wash-out for the life of the clothing.
The company’s diverse sportswear collection features country-club inspired prep staples, such as cotton pique polos, performance woven button downs, extra fine Merino wool sweaters, Pima cotton pullovers, vintage varsity tops and traditional rugby polos, as well as cotton-Coolmax® blended pants and shorts. The line is made to the highest production standards, ensuring complete consistency of quality and fit.
Dunning sportswear is available at world class merchandisers throughout North America, including marquee country clubs and resorts and Golf Town, Canada’s premier golf retailer.
