Our Story: Over The Years
What began as a casual idea between two friends walking the fairways on Friday afternoons has grown into a brand trusted by premier clubs and discerning customers around the world. Our journey has been fueled by an unwavering commitment to exceptional quality, timeless style, and putting the customer first — every step of the way.
From conception to creation, Harlestons begins with a shared vision.
What started as countless conversations, doodles, and late nights between two friends about turned into a clear mission: build a brand rooted in elevated design, premium performance, and timeless sophistication. In 2020, Harlestons became more than just an idea — it became a tangible expression of our belief that men’s golf apparel could be both functional and refined.
Rooted in the city that inspired us, Harlestons found its first home.
From the cobblestone streets of Broad to the charm of the Lowcountry coast, we introduced Harlestons to the Charleston community with pride. Local talk shows, word-of-mouth buzz, and early support from golfers, creatives, and friends helped shape our identity and ground our brand in a place full of heritage, hospitality, and effortless style.
With a growing team, we set our sights on the top clubs in the game.
As Harlestons gained momentum, we began partnering with premier country clubs across the country, focusing on delivering thoughtful collections and unmatched service. With each new course, we learned, adapted, and grew—driven by our commitment to excellence and our belief that clothing should enhance the experience both on and off the course.
Four years in, and stronger than ever.
Representing Harlestons at the PGA Show for the fourth time was more than a milestone—it was a celebration of the progress, people, and purpose behind the brand. Each show has served as a platform to connect with industry leaders, showcase our craftsmanship, and share the passion that continues to guide us forward.
The journey continues—with gratitude and great ambition.
Today, Harlestons stands as a testament to what’s possible with vision, consistency, and an incredible team. We’re still growing, improving, and creating every day—grateful for the family, friends, and customers who’ve made this journey so rewarding. The future is bright, and we’re just getting started.
OUR FOUNDATION
Where It All Began: The Legacy Behind Our Name
Harlestons takes its name from Harleston Green, the site of the very first golf course in America—right in the heart of present-day downtown Charleston. In the late 1700s, Scottish merchants brought the game to this historic stretch of land, planting the seeds of golf’s American roots. For us, naming the brand after this iconic landmark is more than a nod to history—it’s a tribute to the spirit of tradition, innovation, and Southern charm that defines Charleston itself. Our roots in this city run deep, and they continue to shape the way we design, build, and share Harlestons with the world.
