Original Penguin Golf has launched its AW26 apparel collection whose designs are inspired by the swagger of British ’90s rock, drawing inspiration from the Oasis reunion tour.
The AW26 collection captures the ‘Cool Britannia’ aesthetic through a high-octane Britpop revival trend. It is a line designed for the golfer who appreciates a vintage, nostalgic vibe but demands the technical precision and modular flexibility required for the modern game.
While Original Penguin’s heritage was born from the iconic polo shirt, the AW26 collection is the brand’s broadest and most comprehensive yet. With a full spectrum of beautifully curated layers this enhanced seasonal line further validates the brand’s commitment to all year round golf for the Original Penguin fan.
AW26 is a statement of intent, proving the brand’s mastery of silhouette and style extends far beyond the short sleeve. By utilising beautiful, highly technical fabrics, the design team has curated a layering system that offers golfers sophisticated golf pieces that look as good as they perform. These pieces aren’t just additions to a wardrobe; they are technical essentials that carry the brand’s signature ‘cool’ from the first tee to time with friends.
Headlining is a new bold, sport-inspired Earl Waterproof Colorblock Jacket. Blending a sharp, on-trend colour-block design with elite performance, this standout product is constructed from a high-performance 4-way stretch shell, and is engineered to move effortlessly with the body.
The all-weather look is completed with the matching Earl Waterproof Trouser, designed to deliver a modern athletic aesthetic with technical performance. Again using a flexible 4-way stretch shell, the trouser provides all-round comfort, mobility, and premium protection.
“The AW26 collection represents a significant opportunity for our retail partners to tap into a high-energy, nostalgic trend that resonates across generations,” said Helen Willsmer, Original Penguin Golf’s European Brand Director.
“While we continue to push the boundaries of apparel design, our success is inextricably linked to the success of our partners. We are committed to providing the consistent support and world-class service necessary to drive business growth, ensuring our retailers have both the innovative product and the dedicated partnership they need to thrive in a competitive marketplace,” she added.
