Liking the shirt he is wearing at his presser right now. Don't know much about the brand, to be honest with you. Searched for them and they almost look like an Old Navy/American Eagle type of brand.
 
Think Japanese version of the Gap. At least in my opinion.
 
Thank you for that GG.

That's kind of what I was thinking. I couldn't read half the stuff I was getting when I searched for them.
 
I guess this is news somewhere lol.
 
Hmm, never heard of it. I guess we'll see what they bring to the golf table very soon.

That's easy to understand, interesting move for them then!
 
Uniqlo is a budget retailer, along the lines of H&M. I'd be amazed if he was actually wearing anything from there, rather a shirt with a uniqlo logo sewn on.

They are on the same price range as H&M, but the quality of the clothing is far and away better. They make alot of different clothes for all different styles and ages, not just skinny jeans!! I like the move by Adam Scott.
 
Good for them. I know I'd never heard of them until now, so it should get them a bit of publicity.
 
Only heard of them because of Djok. Great to see them get into golf!
 
I'll be interesting to see if this helps their presence in mainstream places in the US
 
The quality and fit is more superior to the likes of Gap and H&M. For the money their range of raw selvedge denim jeans are incredible.

I have a couple of the sport tech polo's that I wear on the course, and fit wise they are better than some of my actual golf shirts.
 
Seems like a very "meh" company. At least to the states
 
Saw some of their stuff online I'm not very impressed.
 
They are affordable, I'll give them that. However, just going through their site, nothing jumped out at me.
 
Going through their regular polos I liked quite a few. Cheap too at $22. I could see myself picking a few up
 
I'm glad this got a bump. I really like the uniqlo look. Gonna have to grab a polo and see how it fits!

I wish we had it here in Canada. $40 chinos? Would be perfect for Spring and Fall golf here.
