| Carnoustie Sportswear unveiled its Spring 17 men’s collection of Performance Knits, Performance Outerwear and Waterproof Styles — plus other surprises.
Performance Knits For Spring 17, Carnoustie developed new colors appropriate for the season — such as amethyst, melon, spearmint and sky. This mélange fabric is nuanced and has a dimension that ordinary dyed solids cannot duplicate. The use of the finest microfiber polyester blended with generous amounts of lycra ensure luxurious comfort. A modern color block style combines this fabric with an awning stripe fabric, creating a fresh look. Also featured in the new performance collection is a mini floral print. Small prints are very much on trend and Carnoustie’s is fun and colorful. |
A simple yet sophisticated jacquard is offered to complement the collection. All of Carnoustie’s performance styles include moisture management properties, stretchable comfort, odor management and UV protection.
Performance Outerwear
Incorporating the finest micro poly and great workmanship, a chest stripe vest and a shoulder stripe 1/4 zip pullover are new for Spring 17. Both are perfect coordinating pieces to complement their knits. These styles present an alternative to the heavier styles in the marketplace, but are designed for the gale force winds and rain found at the Open Championship. These are lightweight and colorful, fully functional and provide great protection from the elements.
And More
Carnoustie’s Spring 17 collection also still includes cotton knits, cotton woven sport shirts, worsted trousers, cotton and performance shorts and brand new for this year, a washed cotton five-pocket jean. Its fabric has been washed slightly for a comfortable and casual look, with a touch of lycra for stretch-ability and comfort. www.carnoustiesportswear.com.
