Miami, FL – Original Penguin Golf® by Munsingwear®, a division of Perry Ellis International, is pleased to announce the launch of its Mens’ Fall 2022 golf collection featuring the Polar Pete Outerwear series. Combining a retro yet modern look, with the classic Original Penguin heritage and style, these new collections are designed to achieve a new level of performance, style and sustainability on and off the course.

The collection blends luxurious style with inspiring, athletic apparel enabling golfers to integrate premium sportswear with their everyday wardrobe.”
The new Polar Pete Series includes layering and outerwear pieces for those playing in all kinds of weather, or simply on-the-go in the elements. Fabrics have been crafted with sustainable yarn blends and eco-friendly technologies, while performance features include moisture-wicking, UPF Protection, and lightweight 4-way stretch, making it easy for golfers to extend their season. New Polar Pete pieces include:

“Original Penguin’s Fall 2022 Men’s golf collection of apparel and accessories continues to provide endless nostalgic inspiration,” added Lupe Benitez, Senior Vice President Product Design, Original Penguin Golf. “This season is inspired by early 90’s looks from our archives. The collection fuses a distinct balance of retro and modern and is unapologetically hip and whimsical.”
