ICONS, LEGENDS AND HEROES ALL HAVE AN ORIGINAL STORY. THIS IS THE STORY OF THE BRAND ORIGINAL PEGUIN.

In 1955, a sportswear icon was born from the most unusual of places. 

V roce 1955 se na nejneobvyklejším z neobvyklých míst zrodila ikona sportovního oblečení. 

Fuelled by whiskey and a delayed flight, Abbot Pederson purchased an unlikely drinking buddy for his flight home in the form of a stuffed penguin he named Pete.
At some point during the flight, and after another cocktail or three, he accidentally knocked the head off Pete the Penguin. A stewardess on-board the flight wrapped a necktie around the Penguins neck and quipped ‘He would look good on a shirt’ which led Pederson to embroider this character on his new shirts.

An Icon was born.
Since then Pete the Penguin has left his mark on a league of legends from Frank to Bing and Clint to Arnie. Original Penguin had been adorned and adored by the masters of culture and sport to define itself as an American classic that knows how to have fun. Still revered by the originals of today, this iconic brand now fully encompasses the lifestyle of what it means to be an original, and how to enjoy yourself while doing it. We are what you wear for the good times.

 

Since then, Pete has left his mark on some legends in the golfing world, including pro golfer Cameron Smith, or Jake Knapp. 

 

Get your head in the game

When you’ve got to focus on your game, the last thing you want to be worrying about is what you’re wearing. With the men’s golf clothing collection from Original Penguin, you’ll be sorted whatever the weather. 

Each piece in our golfing collection is designed to help you play at your best. When it’s cold, our trousers and jumpers will insulate and keep you protected from the elements. And when things start to heat up, our polos will keep you ventilated to stay dry and warm.

 

No one likes a restricted swing. Everything - from our well-tailored tops, to comfy pants and shorts - is guaranteed to give you great freedom of movement. And, you’ll look great doing it. Shop the Original Penguin men’s golf collection for a more stylish day on the course.

 

What should men wear to golf?

When you're hitting the green, comfort and style go hand-in-hand. Stick to a classic, smart-casual look with a polo shirt and well-fitted golf pants or shorts, weather dependent, of course. 

Avoid jeans - not only may these be against the dress code but you’ll also want to opt for breathable fabrics that allow freedom of movement. A sleek cap can help keep the sun at bay when paired with sunglasses on a bright day, and don't forget a pair of stylish yet functional golf shoes. Dress sharp, play sharp.

 

What materials are used in the Original Penguin men’s golf collection?

Our men’s golf clothing collection combines comfort and performance, featuring materials such as recycled polyester and organic cotton. This ensures that we’re able to prioritise sustainability in our pieces, without compromising on quality. 

How do I look after my Original Penguin golf clothing?

To keep your Original Penguin men’s golf pieces looking their best and lasting as long as possible, we recommend that you follow the individual care instruments on each piece’s label. As a general rule, machine washing in cold water - no hotter than 30 degrees - and avoiding harsh detergents will help preserve the colours and fabric of your garments.

 

Does Original Penguin do women’s golf clothing?

Absolutely! Our women's golf collection features polo shirts, skorts, dresses, and outerwear designed for both style and performance on the course.
