POLO RALPH LAUREN LAUNCHES JUSTIN THOMAS GOLF COLLABORATION

Polo Ralph Lauren has teamed up with RL ambassador and pro golfer Justin Thomas to create a special capsule collection this season. Launching in June, just in time for the US Open Championship, the collection takes the brand’s American heritage references and builds upon them with modern, tailored looks that are complemented by lightweight, technical fabrication and new features.

Thomas worked closely with the Polo Golf design team to develop a collection that not only reflects his own sense of classic, sophisticated style, but one that also maintains the brand’s iconic Americana heritage. Grounded in a palette of red, white and blue, the capsule consists of knitwear, layering pieces, outerwear, and pants. From the Flag sweater, an RL classic updated with Coolmax temperature regulating performance yarn, to the Star Camo printed on technical knits, the collection combines innovation and design.

“I am beyond excited about this collaboration launch,” said Thomas. “Fashion has always been something I’ve been intrigued about, so to be a part of the design process for this collaboration was really fun. Being able to partner with an iconic company like Ralph Lauren, I know we have created some great pieces that not only are very stylish but are perfect for my demographic.”

The capsule contains new features and fabrications in polos and pants allowing for increased performance. The polo’s new tailored silhouette with open sleeves provides better movement, and its micro pique fabric, which is embedded with wicking technology, stands out for its incredible fine gauge cotton poly construction. Likewise, the pants offer newness with their slim fit, tapered leg, and elasticated back that is ideal for comfort and stretch. The collection is rounded out by the Justin Thomas Polo Bear featured prominently on both a sweatshirt and hat.

Each piece will feature Thomas’ logo, as well as a unique hang tag displaying the Polo Golf Ralph Lauren logo, the and a special QR code linking to the Ralph Lauren.com.

The collection, which ranges in price from $49.50 for a hat to $168 for outerwear, will be in stores in June and will be available on RalphLauren.com and select golf clubs, resorts and retail stores.

Thomas plans to debut the collection at the 2019 US Open at Pebble Beach this June.
