The R&A’s new lifestyle apparel collection flies off the shelves at Royal Birkdale
New official R&A apparel collection proves a hit with fans attending the 154th Open.
The R&A’s new official men’s and women’s apparel collection is enjoying brisk sales in the merchandise tent at the 154th Open Championship.
The collection is designed with modern fashion in mind, whilst honouring the rich championship heritage of Royal Birkdale. Drawing deep inspiration from the rugged Sefton coastline and the undulating dunes of this historic links course, the pieces reflect both the Championship’s natural beauty and its legendary prestige.
Bridging the gap between historic golf heritage and contemporary lifestyle wear, the collection serves as the ultimate everyday wardrobe staple, and is already flying off the shelves as the championship moves into the weekend’s play.
One of the staple pieces is the all new varsity style bomber jacket. Available in both the men’s and women’s lines, this jacket perfectly captures the crossover between golf culture and modern streetwear. Featuring the ‘Forged by Nature’ across the back, it is an instant classic and a must-have for the week at Royal Birkdale and beyond.
Likewise, the new line of premium t-shirts and hoodies are proving hugely popular among fans. Available in a stylish palette that includes crisp white and a rich, traditional royal green, these pieces are specifically tailored with a relaxed, lifestyle-focused fit.
Matt Tomlinson, Head of Retail, Merchandise and Licensing at The R&A said: “We are incredibly proud to unveil a collection that redefines what championship merchandise can be. Our goal was to design premium, everyday staples that carry the prestige of The Open into everyday life. Whether you’re travelling, heading to the pub, or relaxing on the weekend, this collection allows fans to celebrate the spirit of Royal Birkdale wherever they go. Given the early excitement, we fully expect these pieces to be our fastest-selling yet.”
The 154th Open Royal Birkdale Collection is available to purchase now online at shop.randa.org/en/ and can be purchased in-person at The Open shop during the championship at Royal Birkdale.
