Glenmuir's New Ladies' Collection - Perfect Golf Winter Wear

Glenmuir, one of Europe’s leading golf apparel brands, is offering fashion-conscious lady golfers an outstanding selection of winter wear – perfect for on the course and in the clubhouse.

The new Autumn/Winter Ladies’ Collection from the Lanark, Scotland-based company co-ordinates luxury cotton polo shirts and knitwear with performance shirts, fleeces, luxury lambswool, merino and cashmere knitwear, wind shirts, waterproofs, trousers, shorts, headwear and socks.

Ladies’ clothing continues to be Glenmuir’s fastest growing product category and this season’s collection is further enhanced by the introduction of three brand new contemporary colour palettes - Elements (deep reds, black greys and ochre), Fairway (vibrant kiwi, citrus green, sand, linen, black and greys) and Caffe Latte (creams, coffee, navy and pale pinks).

A key development in this Autumn/Winter’s collection is an entirely new fashion lambswool knitwear range featuring five elegant sweater styles – Shannon, Gail, Bella, Faith and Caitlyn – in a choice of colours and designs.

All five are manufactured from 100 per cent machine washable Glenmuir Lambswool, selected from the best yarn spinners to create warm and resilient garments.

The v-neck Shannon, which features an Argyle design on the front, and zip neck Gail, with contrast coloured ribbed sides and underarm panels, are both designed in a classic fit to balance the needs of fashion, comfort and performance.

The crew neck Bella, with diamond intarsia design on the front, zip neck Faith with textured panels on the front and sleeves, and v-neck Caitlyn, with stripe detail on the front and sleeves, are all in a shaped fit to provide a contemporary silhouette.
Glenmuir has also introduced a new shaped fit shirt. The 95 per cent cotton, 5 per cent elastane stretch jersey long sleeved Abby has a concealed zip mock neck.

And the new Paula zip neck sweater, with ribbed panel detail on the body, sleeves and high collar, has been added to the fashion cotton knitwear. The sweater is manufactured from 100 per cent lightweight, breathable and machine washable super-soft cotton in a close fit to enhance the drape and make it ideal for layering.

All products are available in sizes XS- XL.

In addition, the ladies’ performance wear range now includes eight new products - the innovative Rain Bloc ® Flex and Rain Bloc ® Shell jackets, Storm Bloc ® Windflex Light wind shirt, lined zip-neck Alice sweater, thermal stretch performance shirt Moira, performance shirt Linn and two pairs of stretch trousers, Grace and Simone.

The Rain Bloc ® Flex combines a 98 per cent polyester and 2 per cent elastane breathable, stretch microfibre outer with a high specification, 100 per cent polyester high performance breathable stretch lining incorporating a seam sealed waterproof membrane – which is separated from the outer by an airgap. The outer is Teflon-coated to ensure wind proofing, shower resistance and stain repellency.

The technology delivers outstanding waterproofing while allowing internal water vapour to wick away from the body, and also guarantees super freedom of movement from its stretch characteristics. 

The jacket boasts two concealed zipped pockets on the front and elasticated cuffs to create a snug fit around the wrist.

The Rain Bloc ® Shell features a super-soft lightweight, waterproof, laminated microfibre outer fabric which is combined with an ultra-light breathable micro-mesh lining. The feature-packed jacket include concealed zip-off sleeves, Velcro side tabs for fit adjustment, concealed storm cuffs, adjustable draw cord waist, storm collar with water repellent full length zip, water repellant side pocket zips and chest ventilation flaps.

Both jackets come in sizes S-XL and are backed by a three year waterproof guarantee.
The long sleeved Storm Bloc ® Windflex Light wind shirt features a Teflon-coated, breathable, stretch microfibre outer in 96 per cent polyester and 4 per cent elastane and a lightweight, breathable, stretch lining. Designed with a jetted zip neck, side pockets and adjustable draw cord hem, the shirt is available in sizes S-XL.

The zip-neck Alice sweater is manufactured from 100 per cent machine washable luxury merino acrylic featuring a nano-technology breathable and weatherproof Bionic Finish ® which is water, oil and soil repellent and ensures the fabric dries rapidly. The sweater has a windproof stretch lining for enhanced performance and comes in sizes S-XL.

The long sleeve thermal Moira performance shirt, with jetted zip mock neck, is made from a 65 per cent nylon, 21 per cent polyester and 14 per cent Lycra mix.

The Linn performance shirt also has long sleeves and a jetted zip mock neck and is manufactured from 70 per cent cotton and 30 per cent polyester jersey, offering a cotton handle feel superior to some other modern synthetic fabrics. The shirt features the renowned Hi-Cool ® Moisture Management System which quickly draws moisture away from the body and into the fabric, but boasts phenomenal quick-dry wicking properties to keep the golfer dry and comfortable.

Both shirts are designed in a shaped fit to maximise fabric performance and comfort and are available in sizes XS-XL.

The flat fronted Grace trousers come in a Teflon-coated 96 per cent cotton, 4 per cent elastane mix, for ease of movement, and feature a DuPont Thermolite ® lining to provide maximum warmth with minimum weight. The trousers have two front pockets and one buttoned back pocket.

The sport-technical Simone trousers are manufactured from crease resistant and non-iron Easycare Teflon-coated 98 per cent polyester and 2 per cent elastane. The Simone has two front pockets, two back pockets, a zipped pocket on the right leg and seam detailing on the leg and knee darts.

Both trousers are available in sizes UK 8-18 with three leg lengths.
Launching the new Ladies’ Collection, Glenmuir Marketing Director Andy Bough said: “We believe we have created a collection that is both stylish and practical and that will appeal to lady golfers of all ages.

“The choice of colours and designs will look equally at home on the course or in the clubhouse.”
