Footjoy, the maker of golf shoes, socks and gloves, announced that for the first time, it will begin making a complete apparel collection. The offerings will include shirts, trousers, sweaters, and other items.
Footjoy has made rain gear since 1997 and introduced a three-piece layering system a year ago.
FootJoy is a division of the Acushnet Company, which also owns Titleist.
The price range for shirts will be $55 to $75. The “FJ” logo will appear on the yoke, that is, below the back collar. Footjoy apparel will begin arriving in stores in January 2012.
“This strategic initiative has been carefully considered for several years and is supported by an extremely sophisticated and comprehensive study of the golf apparel category,” said Andy Jones, vice president, gloves, accessories, and apparel worldwide, for Footjoy, in a statement.
