Our Story

Linksman provides modern, classic golf apparel for those who love the history and traditions of the game. It's for golfers who want to look their best: for those who recognise quality and appreciate understated elegance.

Inspired by history & tradition

Linksman is a small family-owned business that is steeped in golf. We are based in St Andrews, Scotland where we have a four generations old association with the game – playing, competing and caddying over the links there. If we’re not working, you’ll find us on the links.

Scotland has long held a distinguished reputation for golfing craftsmanship. We are proud to follow in the footsteps of the great ball and clubmakers from this area with our own commitment to excellence.

Although inspired by the history and traditions of the game our classic apparel is modern in styling, cut and design.

We source the finest natural and technical fabrics from mills in Scotland and Europe and our garments are expertly made with care in our modern European work rooms.

Our garments

Our signature garment is the Linksman polo shirt. It’s ideal for wearing on the links or any occasion when you desire a casual but smart and stylish look.

We use ultra-soft pima cotton with a little bit of elastane to provide the stretch and performance you’ll require from a modern golf shirt. Pima cotton is made from longer staples than ordinary cotton giving a superior, luxurious feel. Understandably its more expensive than ordinary cotton but we feel it’s worth it and our customers appreciate the difference.

We seek to be environmentally and socially responsible. We strive to use GOTS certified organic cotton where possible and are selective of those partners with whom we work.

It's all in the details

Our classic cut is modern and stylish to provide an elegant silhouette. It’s gently tailored rather than athletic. It will flatter and accommodate all body shapes. Our dropped back hem with reinforced side vents provide for a better fit and a distinctive look. Our collar is neatly shaped with a soft fusible lining that will continue to look good, wear after wear. We use a high stitch count throughout our garments to provide better strength and shape.

We like details. We use real Mother of Pearl buttons to set off our traditional three button placket (and we include a spare, just in case some rough treatment leads to one getting lost) and our Macleod Hunting tartan at the back neck of all our shirts provides a distinguished look and nod to our Scottish heritage. We don't believe in big logos - you can recognise a Linksman garment by our small Linksman flag tag on our side seams.

We’d love to hear from you. Reach out to us on social media or drop us an email.
