New York, NY January 2009 – Beyond beautiful sweaters and technical advances in outerwear for Fall 2010, Jack Nicklaus Sportswear unveils the anticipated Heritage collection, inspired by Jack’s iconic style at the height of his storied career.
Providing vintage Jack style for the modern golfer, the Heritage collection reflects pieces that Nicklaus actually wore and was photographed in during the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s. Stand out knit styles include a solid polo, with a longer, four button placket in an array of colors, and a three color feed stripe, both with flap pockets. A yellow polo with blue engineered stripes and a blue and green multi-stripe with a contrast placket will surely make Jack devotees swoon. All knit polo styles feature tailored collars and a trimmer ‘sport fit’. The sweater range includes solid and argyle v-necks, a retro mock neck, a v-neck cardigan and a pieced ‘v’ pattern v-neck to bring you back to the stylish roots of the game. Pants have a tailored fit and feature micro-checks, pinstripes and a vibrant bold green plaid. The Golden Bear patch adorns all items in this group.
Performance 18 features technical fabrics that incorporate UV protection, Coolplus® and Coolmax® technology. New outerwear pieces for Fall 2010 include a reversible full zip vest with a navy or black wind and water resistant shell paired with green or blue micro fleece on the reverse. New performance vests and jackets, with contrast trim along the zipper, are wind and water proof with comfort stretch and wicking benefits. Coolmax® continues to be the yarn of choice in an all over stripe cardigan and in new color block pullover variations.
The Signature collection is comprised of luxurious golf lifestyle product crafted from the purest natural fibers. For Fall 2010, Nicklaus continues to provide top of the line 100-percent double-mercerized cotton knit polos in stripes, solids, tonal windowpanes and jacquards. Fresh sportswear details such as tipping on collars and contrast stripes, both narrow and bold beneath collars, add a flash of something unexpected. Sweater styles made from the finest Zegna Baruffa merino wool add to the lush argyle assortment for which Nicklaus is known. Featured styles include sweater vests both half zip and v-neck, in a solid ribbed model, a rich basket weave and a geometric intarsia pattern. A solid v-neck with welt stitch detail is another welcome addition to the collection. A wind and water resistant Barracuda twill jacket with a bold green plaid lining is the refined outerwear piece of choice for the season.
Jack Nicklaus Sportswear stays true to its reputation for unique color offerings with deliveries inspired by three breath-taking courses. Navy, lobster red, fenwick green and sunshine yellow reflect the seaside sensibility of the stunning Bayside Resort Golf Club on Fenwick Island. Roaring Fork Club, nearby bucolic Aspen, resonates with a cool color group of lake blue, river, pebble, sky and black. Red rock, cliff grey, slate and azure remind one of the awe inspiring sunsets and ominous rock formations of Red Ledges in Utah.
