Brilliant and hilarious 🙂
Very enjoyable viewing 👍 Original Penguin by Munsingwear i believe still worn by Aussie Cameron Smith (Penguin Ambassador) Worn when he won the 150th open championship. First pair of checkered trousers i owned was a pair of Adidas blue check, however i only felt comfortable wearing them on the golf course not around town shopping in them !. 🦅
Barnsie cutting a dash in his shorts! 😂 Great review! The '80's would bring in the famous "Faldo" Pringle jumpers that became de rigour for a while!
We don't have that flair in golf clothing today. Payne Stewart was one of if not the last outstanding dresses. Some say Tiger was but he was renown for wearing a red shirt on the 4th day, not quite the same.
I will donate the cost of the outfit to the channel if you do a video in that frosted lilac ensemble! 🤣
I had a full set of Munsingwear shirts in 5 different colours along with a pale blue cardigan of the same make which I wore with light grey Farah slacks and white brogue Footjoy classic shoes in homage to Tom Watson.
In the eighties I enjoyed the wide trousers which we called 'Victor Sylvester's' (something about big ballroom?) and the release of the original Bobby Jones golf shirts made in Italy of pima cotton.
I have a collection of them bought off ebay as I consider the current offerings by major manufacturers to be absolute crap and way overpriced for polyester rubbish churned out in sweatshops.
I have a theory that they are partly responsible for 'global warming' with the friction of polyester clad thighs rubbing together resulting in a temperature increase worldwide …..
