Buttoning Up for Winter Golf


On the Northern California coast, the cardigan sweater comes into its own on the winter golf course. I love the light gray flannel trousers and green cavalier's hat on the man putting in the illustration.

Most of all, I appreciate that his cardigan buttons rather than zips. I think zippers are fine when covered by cloth. But, rational or not, my eye just doesn't like looking at them on clothes.

Of course, that's not a problem in this mythical place where caddies wear wrap coats and neckties.

Where is this "mythical place"? I want to move there.

Once, again, fantastic picture. I have my father's old cardigan that I wear when enjoying a beverage in the backyard. Buttons. No zippers. I must agree with your zipper comment. Seeing them reminds me of a hooded sweatshirt.

I can't help but to think that poor caddy is killing his clothes carrying that bag of clubs.

I shudder when I see men in NYC carrying 95 bags on their shoulder while their suit jacket is stretched in 95 different directions.

This man is obviously a very talented golfer, not worrying about walking through tall grass in those fine white trousers. The cardigan might look old-fashioned with buttons... but when I'm wearing a cardigan, that's just the look I'm going for.
