When it comes to premium men’s golfwear, fabric isn’t just a detail — it’s the foundation of comfort, performance, and style. At Harlestons, we obsess over every stitch, weave, and finish to ensure that each piece performs seamlessly both on and off the course. From the structured strength of our pique knit to the breathable softness of our performance jersey and Peruvian pima cotton, our fabrics are engineered for modern golfers who value refinement and reliability.
In this guide, we’ll take a closer look at what makes Harlestons' materials exceptional. Whether you're teeing off in high heat, layering up in cooler conditions, or looking for lifestyle-ready options that still speak to your love of the game, each fabric tells a story of thoughtful design and function-first innovation.
Pique Knit: Texture Meets Durability
Our Pique Knit is a classic choice, upgraded for today’s performance standards. Featuring a subtle grid-like structure, this textured knit offers enhanced airflow and durability, making it an ideal option for year-round wear. The pique construction provides a slightly more structured feel compared to jersey, giving polos a crisp silhouette that holds up over time.
With integrated performance stretch and moisture-wicking properties, this midweight fabric offers breathability without sacrificing polish. Whether you’re on the first tee or seated at the clubhouse, Harlestons pique polos deliver timeless style with technical sophistication.
Performance Brushed: Warmth Without Bulk
Perfect for transitional weather or cooler rounds, our Performance Brushed fabric is a double-knit polyester blend that balances structure and comfort. What sets it apart is its brushed interior, which provides a soft, almost fleece-like hand-feel for added warmth and insulation.
The fabric offers four-way stretch, moisture-wicking capability, and moderate weight, making it a smart choice for long-sleeve polos or light layers. It’s your go-to material when the temperatures drop but you still want a refined, tailored look that’s suited for play.
Performance Jersey: Lightweight and Versatile
Our Performance Jersey is the lightest and most breathable of the performance knits we offer. It features a smooth-knit polyester construction with four-way stretch and high airflow, designed specifically for hot, humid days on the course.
What makes this fabric exceptional is its ability to retain shape under high-heat conditions while managing sweat with ease. Engineered for mobility and moisture control, this jersey is the foundation of many of our most popular warm-weather polos. If you’re looking for a fabric that disappears on the body but looks sharp all day long, this is it.
Featherweight Melange: Ultra-Light with a Modern Finish
For those who prefer the lightest possible layer, our Featherweight Melange fabric offers a technical twist on minimalism. Made from an ultra-light polyester blend, this fabric features a soft hand-feel, melange texture, and a barely-there weight that maximizes breathability.
It’s the ultimate summer fabric — engineered for maximum airflow, technical stretch, and all-day comfort. Whether layered or worn solo, garments made from this fabric feel as effortless as they look, making them ideal for travel, hot rounds, or relaxed settings.
Peruvian Pima Cotton: Luxe Comfort for Off-Course Living
For a more lifestyle-oriented option, our Peruvian Pima Cotton blends cotton and spandex to deliver an ultra-soft, relaxed fit that’s perfect for casual days. This fabric isn't performance-first — it's comfort-first, while still offering a refined, tailored shape that transitions easily from errands to drinks downtown.
Grown in the coastal valleys of Peru, pima cotton is known for its long-staple fibers that result in unmatched softness and superior durability. The hint of stretch adds flexibility without compromising the fabric’s natural drape. It’s a sophisticated alternative to traditional performance wear — built for leisure, elevated by design.
