Antigua introduced its Spring 2017 Men’s Outerwear Collection. Designed for practicality and style appeal, this season has all that’s needed in outerwear to complement Antigua’s polo’s while offering golfers the ability to layer as necessary.
Vista is creatively constructed with loopback, two-color twill face fabric. Designed as a mid-weight, long sleeve, half-zip outerwear garment, this twill knit in rich shades is set off with contrasting elastic tape sewn into cover stitch seam details. Its reverse coil zipper is enhanced with the same corresponding accent colors.
Regime combines a heather neutral twill knit with a solid jacquard lightweight, stretch, woven style. Because of its lightweight breathability, it can be left on even as temperatures rise.
Lightweight style Tsunami is created with heather and solid feed stripes. A derivative of the tight, repeating stripe seen in the main fabric has been isolated and knit into a pattern. This fabric is utilized as an inset fabric in the garment’s side panels, to enhance the design of the long sleeve, half-zip outerwear style. The placket zipper showcases contrasting color nylon coil teeth that tie the garment to the season’s vibrant color stories.
The Arctic pullover, with two uniquely different fabric constructions are featured in this long sleeve, mid-to-heavyweight garment. Its front body panel is double knit into a quilted diamond pattern using heather yarns and is pieced together with knit jersey heather sleeves and back fabric. This half-zip, long sleeve pullover is a multifunctional lifestyle garment that can complement golf wear or a casual pair of jeans.
