Ashworth Spring/Summer 2009

The design and merchandising philosophy of Ashworth’s Spring/Summer 2009 collection is based on seven principles: form follows function, commitment to quality, innovative fabrics, attention to details, comfortable fit, interesting and wearable color combos, and inspirational visual vocabulary. 

• The men’s knit collection for Spring/Summer 2009 consists of four parts that can cross merchandise. The first part is designed for a more classic look using an innovative state- of-the-art process that created a functional luxury aspect to the line that Ashworth refers to as Hi-Def cotton. These easy-care shirts, an alternative to the hard-to-care-for double-mercerized look, are super soft, light and comfortable with no-curl collars, and they don’t shrink or wrinkle.

• The second part of the men’s collection is what Ashworth refers to as its Third Groove Performance, where the most innovative blends of pima cotton and polyester are combined to create the ultimate performance and comfort moisture-wicking garment that also is breathable, lightweight, snagless and odourless. The styling is slightly more innovative and features a more modern Ashworth Golf Company heat-transfer label.

• The third and fourth parts of the men’s collection are capsule sub-brands directed to supplement the Ashworth Golf Company merchandise mix with fresh looks for the company’s ever-expanding golf community.

• ASHW 33 is directed toward a younger mindset. Made with performance fabrics, the unique graphic elements and stitching details create a subtle avant garde look with a “mod fit,” slimmer by one size than Ashworth’s classic fit. The line reflects the company’s deep respect for the innate style of the game.

• Ashworth Organics is golf gear designed and crafted out of 100 percent organic cotton or sustainable, recyclable materials. For the game, for the planet, the Ashworth Organics is for everyone who is interested and onboard with the green initiative.
