Living the TEHÀMA Lifestyle


The Collection

TEHÀMA is a Native American word that means “abundance of nature” and is one of the fastest growing sportswear and luxury lifestyle brands in the country.


The TEHÀMA sportswear line was founded by Hollywood legend Clint Eastwood and fashion industry veteran Nancy Haley who met while sharing wine with mutual friends at Eastwood’s Mission Ranch in Carmel, California. Eastwood, having worn some of Haley’s designs, asked her if she would consider starting a sportswear line with him. Haley, recently retired from Sport-Haley, accepted and came out of retirement. The result is a women’s and men’s sportswear line that can be worn from work to play.

What we love

The Carbon Printed Skort in Honeysuckle. The print on this skort is an intricate pattern of intertwined rings done in a sophisticated color combination of pinks and browns. The skirt is sleek and has a front zippered pocket at the waistband.

The Short Sleeve Reaction Carbon Shirt in Cappuccino. This shirt is cut with feminine side panels that are the same brown color, but offer contrasting textures. The shirt also has polished double piping details and a shiny silver front zipper.

Golfability

The skort and shirt are both made using natural technology called Cocona™ fabric. This fabric utilizes activated carbon made from coconut shells. It provides evaporative cooling, odor resistance and added UV protection (UPF 60) to keep you more comfortable in any environment. TEHÀMA offers several technical fabric lines that are clearly intended to play hard and wear well.

The Sporty Edge of Nivo


The Collection

The Nivo Sport collection is designed to allow the golfing gal to express her fashion sense and athletic ability at the same time. Nivo has an exciting, sporty edge with some striking geometric prints. The spring styles have European influences and stylish detailing designed to make a golfer look and feel better. There are five spring lines: Hope, Energy, Calm, Supernature, and Essentials. This is an extensive and fresh collection that fuses fashion and function.

What we love
The Hope Golf dress. If you are looking for a golf dress you will have several choices at Nivo. The Nivo golf dresses are made for performance, but don’t sacrifice an ounce of style. The Hope dress comes in mocca and white. This streamlined dress has a dropped waist, attached shorts with snap closures, standout piping, and a roomy back pocket. It also has a contemporary Nivo floral appliqué on the skirt.

The Hope Capri. This capri is the perfect length and it has the fresh Nivo detailing that makes this garment stand out. There is a great two-button wide waistband, along with two side pockets and one in the back.

Golfability
These fabrics are easy wear and care. They are designed to be soft while keeping you cool and dry on the course. Nivo has a wide range of sizes and ships within 24 hours of receiving special orders. The fit and designs are impeccable.

Also check out
Nivo has a large selection of coordinated sporty tops including some made of Sunpaque. This revolutionary sports material produces garments that are not see-through and they offer UV protection. We love the dynamic diamond pattern found in the Calm line polo and mock, along with the Supernature plaid skort and capri.

JoFit: A Great Fit for All Athletes


Jofit was developed for female athletes by a female athlete. Style, comfort, color, fit and function make Jofit wearable on and off the course, gym and tennis court. Jofit founder Joanne Cloak launched the initial golf line in 2007, and found that other female athletes were also searching for the Jofit “fit”. As Jofit grows, the apparel company continues to support the athlete in the female, as well as the female in the athlete. Jofit slims, lengthens, flatters and performs. Fit, fun and fashion come together with the sporty line of Jofit.


What we love

The Berry Plaid Capri. This adorable plaid capri has a slimming wide waistband and plenty of pockets including two zippered side pockets that keep the design sleek. The pants have the Jofit signature three dot logo in silver at the bottom of the pant. The silver dot theme is also on the snaps of the pants.


The Berry Fade Sleeveless shirt. This performance shirt is made with a technical fabric called JoDry which has a moisture wicking, quick dry property. The shirt is done in a fun fade print that softly blends one color into the other. The Jofit silver dots are found on the bottom of the shirt and also adorn the zipper pull.


Golfability

Jofit takes pride in being a women’s athletic line. The Jofit tops are cut longer for a full swing (no belly showing here), and the bottom garments are fit for comfort and movement with a slimming style. The fit is generous enough to be comfortable, but fitted enough to be flattering.

Trigelle Brings Golf to Life

The collection
Trigelle garments are made to play golf. At the same time, Trigelle brings class, style, and the professionalism of golf into everyday life. There is a freshness about their clothes that reflects the company’s commitment to choose fiber textiles that are natural and ecologically friendly. But when you pick up a Trigelle garment the first thing that comes to mind is style.

What we love
The Hannah Plaid Bermuda Shorts. This modern black and white plaid Bermuda short has a beautiful soft shimmer to it. The short has a wide two-button waistband with contrasting green piping.

The Elsa Sleeveless Polo. This black knit shirt has a collar that matches the shorts and plenty of stretch. The placket is sensational with dual detailing of green piping and grosgrain ribbon. It is gathered at the bust for a feminine touch.

Golfability
The Hannah short is loaded with functional pockets. It has two front pockets, two back pockets (big enough for a scorecard), and a signature side welt pocket for tees, divot fixers, hair ties, and the like. They are all brilliantly coordinated in this design.

Trigelle remains authentic to its golf roots by using LPGA sponsored professionals as their official R&D department. Any and all suggestions given by these professional athletes are considered and addressed during the design phase. This approach is evident in their clothing.

Also check out
The Tory 3-Button Henley Sweater. This sweater has a lovely weight to it from a bamboo, cotton, and lycra mix. Trigelle sweaters can easily be thrown into the washer and drier without compromising quality. It is completely luxurious and golfable at the same time. The sweater nicely coordinates with the other pieces without being too “matchy-matchy.”
