Brad has a wealth of knowledge, but comes across as someone that genuinely cares for their customer.
When I think Stitch, I don’t think Bryson. Curious to see how that relationship pans out.
I’ve been on the website a fair bit this week learning more about their quality.
The collar seems absolutely awesome.
Its funny how collars factor in the quality of a shirt but here we are, I love me a good collar. Also mystery boxes are out I was ready to jump after listening to this convo
discounted mystery boxes, at that.
And we absolutely talked collars in the last week. They 100% matter.
Can confirm the collar is awesome. I wear mostly stitch now.
Best in golf.
Stitch isn’t making women’s clothing.
He said on the podcast they are collabing with a women’s brand
Now I’m thinking maybe I should get some more stuff. Thanks @canadan
I missed that in the interview. It would make sense if it was a NC company.
Byrdie is here in Charlotte. Was right next to their booth at the wells Fargo.
Also, I feel like we could have gone much deeper on the travel stuff, but I was kind of all in on learning about the apparel haha
I love their travel bags too. I have the Birdie Bag, which I used for a long weekend trip to Texas recently and had more than enough room for everything I needed. I also have a bag, which I don’t think they make any more called the Weekender, which kind of seems like a precursor to the UGB.
They’ve had a lot of sales recently on the SL2 so I was wondering if there is a new model coming out soon, which Brad confirmed. I cannot wait to see the 3.5 pound will look like and the innovations in it.
Great listen.
Yeah, "well known" if I recall the conversation. I’m curious to see who it is. For some reason my mind went to Lululemon right away, but then I wonder if I was just taking it out of context because some of the male golfers here like their pants too.
I would be surprised if it’s Lululemon. Could be wrong though.
I wanted to challenge on styling because I really appreciate that Stitch has maintained their presentation in a lot of ways while other brands are coming out with big time flash or chasing the trends.
The feedback on Bryson’s apparel was expected as Bryson is a bit polarizing, but I think that’s just what you get out of the vocal minority. I saw plenty of scripting last week that aligned with that style, and would fit into the wardrobe of a LOT of regular golfers.
That’s my thing. You asked about it, but really they are where they want to be.
The people buying their apparel don’t just use it for weekend golf – it’s part of their regular wardrobe as well.
I just couldn’t think of anything else, but I’m also not really a fashion expert and don’t know much about women’s clothing brands. I’m more than happy to be wrong on this one.
It reminds me of another conversation I had talking about color trends and what the ‘it’ color is for a year from now.
To me, I am genuinely fascinated at the concessions and passes made by companies to accommodate what people will want.
I have plenty of both traditional golf clothes, which is Stitch’s bread and butter and more colorful/styling options. I won’t be pigeon-holed, Dan.
I’m no expert either, that’s for sure.
If there are guests or companies or discussions or stories you ever want me to try and tackle, PLEASE reach out! I’m really excited to close in on 200 and continue growing with you legends.
I wear stitch polos almost every day at work. I’m wearing 1 today actually.

I don’t know of any other podcasts that are doing what you do and speaking to the people who are not just making the goods we use, but the CEO, the owners, the founders, and brains behind these companies. For equipment junkies, it’s fantastic having this in to what goes into their thinking, development, and decision making.
Yeah, 100% beyond me.
I do think that these companies that are apparel type companies need to go with what people want. Look at what’s ‘in’ now vs 5 years ago or whatever. You talked about that whatever double something cotton from back in the day that we all wore. I had a couple of those shirts 6-7 years ago that I would wear, none of this performance stuff at all. Now if you put me in a cotton shirt I would lose my ?
Someone needs to have their finger on the pulse of style to keep up. The way that he described it as modern vintage is pretty accurate though – you have a smaller flex from one side to the other where right now people might like (to your example) neon’s vs pastels. Those soft colors rarely go out of style where the loud ones come and go.
