Golf apparel remains one of my favorite segments in this crazy industry. That stance has always been built around the fact that there are so many options out there, that everyone can find something that lets them showcase their preferred personal style. Even then, I will admit to being a bit late to experience STITCH as an apparel brand.
Yes, for years now I have written about and used their golf and travel bags extensively, always coming away impressed with the quality and thought put into each piece. Well, after getting many pieces from the 2024 STITCH Fall apparel release in-hand and on-course, there is no denying that those same traits stand out among this side of the brands offerings as well.
Quick Take – 2024 STITCH Fall Apparel
If you haven’t taken the chance to experience the apparel side of STITCH, then you are doing you and your wardrobe a potential disservice. With the same keen attention to detail and commitment to never sacrificing quality as with their golf and travel bags, this Fall apparel lineup stands out among the pack.
Solid Pique and Victory Stripe Polo’s
The heart and soul of the STITCH apparel lineup has to be their polos. We were sent two different polo designs for this review, and if you are a golfer who enjoys the clean, classic, and pure aesthetic of simplicity as opposed to in-your-face patterns, then these stand out. Both feature STITCH’s three button placket as well as impressively sturdy collars. The cut on both has minimal taper with ample room through the chest and stomach, definitely leaning more towards the traditional side of things.
First, Solid Pique is a classic pique material that is 95% polyester to 5% spandex pique and that gives it the classic “pique” breathability and moisture wicking capabilities. The material is exactly what you would expect in this type of polo. It is priced at $98.00 and available in eleven different colors.
Then there is the Victory Stripe Polo, which is what many will picture in their brain when thinking about STITCH polo’s. The classic single stripe look is clean and the 92% polyester to 8% spandex material gives it 4-way stretch as well as quick dry breathability. The Victory Stripe is also priced at $98.00 but comes in seventeen color options. Both polos are available in size S to XXL.
Spectre Hoodie
While it might still be a bit of a controversial piece of apparel on the golf course for certain demographics based on the conversation we have on the THP Community, the fact that STITCH offers a golf hoodie makes this reviewer smile big. The Spectre Hoodie is 86% poly and 12% spandex with a heavy emphasis on movement and stretch.
I found the fit to be on the athletic side, with an XL fitting true to size (I wear a L in the STITCH polos for comparison), and there being no issues with restriction both in the golf swing as well as with how the collar/hood sits. The weight is right in the middle of things, and the hoodie is pocketless which in this case aids in its movement range. This is a top-tier, high-comfort, high-performance hoodie that is offered in five different colors and carries a heavier $198.00 price tag.
GT Vest
Much like with hoodies, you are either a vest person, or you aren’t. The GT Vest (GT stands for Gran Turismo) is the newest piece in the STITCH “Weather System Collection” that offers layering possibilities alongside wind and water resistance. I will openly admit, I am not the biggest vest person, but this also doesn’t look like the typical “golf vest”.
The attention to detail with heavy duty stitching and zippers, along with how well it paired over the Victory Stripe polo was impressive. The sizing is more in line with the traditional nature of the STITCH polos, but its length and design makes it look much more sleek fitting. Not to mention, the water resistance works as advertised, and the quality of the collar could make this a key piece in anyone’s fall golf wardrobe. The GT Vest is offered in five colors and is priced at $168.00.
Cambridge Crew Neck Sweater
For those who enjoy a good sweater, or more precisely a “Zegna Baruffa” Italian Merino Wool sweater, then of course STITCH has you covered there. Admittedly, this is a style and piece that is a bit outside of my comfort zone, for as timeless and classic as the Merino crew neck sweater is in golf, it can be a bit daunting to try and pull off for some of us.
However, the material here is to die for, and add that to the thick and dense (this is a good thing) collar band and cuffs, it’s an article which makes you understand why it’s so classic. As for the cut, I would call it classic, with room in the middle of the sweater while the shoulders and waist are more on the form fitting side. Being Italian Merino Wool, the $288.00 price tag on this one shouldn’t be all that surprising.
Heston Five Pocket Pants
Finally, the pants. Not just any pants though, these Heston Five Pocket pants are made up of a 96% polyester and 4% spandex tech blend focused on full 4-way stretch. The most fun part for me though, is the Five Pocket design aesthetic which makes them usable on and off the course. The fit in waist and length was true to size for me, and they have a nice blend of tailored and athletic fit through the thighs and lower leg. The weight is astoundingly good, and the longer they were on, the better they wore, more so than any other golf pants I have owned.
The Heston Five Pocket Pants are offered in five colors with waists from 30 to 42. They are priced at $148.00.
The Details – 2024 STITCH Fall Apparel
As a brand, there are few out there who manage to walk the line of being extremely good at multiple products as opposed to just specializing in one thing, STITCH continues to break the mold and become an all-encompassing company offering form and function in everything they offer. The entirety of the STITCH Fall Collection for 2024 is available now at various green grass locations and retailers, as well as their website www.stitchgolf.com.
