Sign up Closed: 2023 MGS Forum Test: RealGolfers Apparel

Love to try the hoodies.   Fall is coming soon around here and it's a real test to find those good extra layers for golfing.

I love their story about never being able to afford expensive golf polos and wanting to make something more accessible and affordable.
10% going back to the First Tee to get the younger generation into golf too is a very worthy cause! 
Even if not picked, this brand now has my following and support! 

This calendar year, I have played in 100+ degrees, below 40 degrees, in rain, in snow, and even had to duck some hail. I think I could give the apparel a fair test.

ALWAYS INTERESTED in testing a new product.  Thanks to MGS for the opportunity to make my wife happy - meaning, she thinks that I already BUY too many golf shirts!!    If I can prove to her that I am just a "product tester," she will think I am participating in a worthy pursuit!!

Well Sub 70 closed so guess we can open this guy up a little early to those paying attention before the main announcement tomorrow!

 

Great chance to add to my wardrobe, and be even more stylish!  Thanks!

Clothing looks awesome!!  Good luck everyone!

Always looking for a good polo at a reasonable price.  Plus I wear sweatshirts all the time in the winter.  That's about the heaviest 'coat' I ever wear.  I'd definitely put these thru the paces.  

they look great. I would love to try them. JJ

Awesome, love to see apparel companies coming up into the ranks!

Would love to test!!

I for sure think there is a rise new companies and brands coming out making great apparel. It helps when companies like Rhoback have come out of seemingly nowhere to being the favorites of many. I have yet to own a rhoback hoodie and in truth hope we (MyGolfSpy) is able to get on the apparel train because I would love some MGS merch (Henry if you're listening and watching this thread maybe we should have a little collab discussion)

 

Haha yeah I’m behind on the apparel front. I had to google Rhoback, but their stuff looks awesome. We have a local guy come up with a great golf Brand. “PLYR golf” so that’s probably my favorite right now. 
 

have you seen Collin landforce on TikTok? he shows where a lot of brands get their merch bags, clothing, etc I find it fascinating you can get into the game relatively easy 

(Yeah Henry, as a new member to MGS I too would love some merch) haha 

 

Look good, feel good, play good! I’m digging the few designs on the site. Good luck everyone. 

Another exciting test opportunity…good luck to everyone!

Man I love a good hoodie! 

Love to look fashionable and cool!

Fall is upon us in New England, that hoodie will come in handy for those earl6 tee times. 

As fall approaches I have been looking for some warm weather gear. Sweatshirt looks very cool!

I think I'd have to have my wife do the clothing and fashion review write up. She is all over that stuff, I just wear it. Surprise right.

I just finished purchasing three new golf polos for on and off the course. The golf polo has to do both. I would love to try the polo and the hoodie!

Nice looking threads!  Great to see so many new flavors in the golf clothing arena!  Perfect for a crisp, fall Colorado golf day!

Birthday on the 19th? could this be the one! would love a hoodie for the upcoming winter golf 

I’m new to MGS but the tests were something that attracted me to signing up after reading numerous posts non test related. I have yet to be given a test opportunity so In an effort to increase my chances of being chosen I’m going to give my perspective, opinion, review, or whatever it may be called after viewing their website.

 

At first glance they have some nice unique printed polos. Whats not unique is the printed polo approach. It seems to be booming amongst bespoke golf brands currently. What I did begin to like more and I don’t see often is the contrasting collars or color contrast on the collar neck material. That is something that I think really helps dress up a polo. 

Secondly the pricing is very friendly with some polos ranging in the $22-30 range. Thats something that attracts me as I’ve gotten tired of paying $60-80/polo. At the end of the day I know many of these brands manufacture overseas so it’s hard to stomach that cost all the time. 
 

With some polos on their site in the $20-30 range and then having the A tribe called golf line at $60 it’s hard to differentiate the reason for the premium given polos from both lines having the 90% polyester / 10% spandex blend. Seems from the details they are the same fibers for both kinds. Nevertheless I like the red contrast interior on the collar lining for the rhythm polo. 
 

On the Muni Collection I really like the collection of graphic tee’s they have and from reviewing pics I noticed their using Comfort Colors for the blanks. I’m a huge fan of that manufacturer and will say that any graphic tees I’ve bought from whatever companies that choose to use that brand of blanks have far and away stood the test of time, far better than other manufacturers. Kudos to you Real Golfers for going with them. 

On the branding front I like what I see but I’m unable to extract a story line that is being told through the brand. With a name like “Real Golfers” and the story line of the founder being about someone who could never afford expensive shirts I think it would benefit the brand to bring that to the forefront of the site. Allow the site to position that story and the continuation of it being told through the products being offered. This is something I think would really make the customer’s intrigued and allow for better conversion. Finding similar customers who can relate.

Lastly as someone who is an avid streetwear fan, sneaker head and loves golf but also has to adhere to dress code at times. I’ve found myself wanting to push the boundaries at my country club and other courses. Choosing to wear bucket hats, and Jordan golf shoes. Through this journey of trying to bring my approach to style onto the course I’ve noticed a blatant gap in the current golf brand offerings. What is this gap I’m speaking of? Well many courses or clubs that enforce dress code do allow mock neck tee’s. Few brands offer these mock necks (Nike and Bad Birdie) Out of those brands neither choose to or have realized that mock necks could also be graphic tees as well. Given this gap I’ve identified I’ve been curious to know whether or not the demand would be there. I know that I would certainly buy graphic mock necks knowing I’d get one over on the many courses that enforce dress code. Curious on what others think here?

 

My apologies if this was a lengthy post. I set out on it, aiming to deliver my raw unfiltered thoughts. I hope it helps the brand. And whether or not I’m chosen as a tester I’m def going to purchase a polo or two just simply based on price and what the brand is about. 

The tshirts and the hoodies look awesome. Polos with small print also look great. 

Perfect timing since fall is coming and also a great way to support up-start companies with good items for the golfer without sponsors!

Oh yeah,  looking forward to a new polo and hoodie to don on the course...
