Golf Knickers

Golf Knickers

Golf knickers, also known as plus fours or breeks, are a type of knee-length trousers that were traditionally worn for golfing. They were popularized in the early 20th century and were a common sight on golf courses until the 1950s. Golf knickers are typically made from wool or tweed and feature a distinctive design that includes a high waistband, a buttoned or zippered fly, and a flared leg that extends to just below the knee. They are often worn with knee-high socks and golf shoes. The origins of golf knickers can be traced back to the early days of golf, when players wore traditional dress pants and jackets on the course. As golf became more popular, players began to experiment with more comfortable and practical clothing options. By the 1920s, golf knickers had become a staple of the sport, worn by both amateur and professional players alike. In addition to their distinctive appearance, golf knickers are also known for their practicality on the course. The knee-length design allows for a full range of motion, while the high waistband helps to keep the shirt tucked in during the swing. The wool or tweed material provides warmth on cooler days, while also being breathable and moisture-wicking. While golf knickers are no longer as common on the course as they once were, they remain a popular choice for players who appreciate their classic style and practical design. They are also a popular choice for retro-themed golf events and tournaments.
