Are people buying complete outfits for golf only or are they buying golf clothes that they can wear for every day casual too?

I think the trend for men is to buy clothes that crossover for almost everything. Then a few select pieces in the wardrobe are golf only. For the ladies, almost everything has been golf only, with some golf clothes that crossover to casual sportswear. The complete opposite. I think we’ll see a more balanced wardrobe for ladies in the future where maybe half of their golf clothes are now worn for other activities.

This is an important trend in the industry because the manufacturer that meets the demand best will have bigger marketshare in a declining economy.

Bugatchi Uomo has done a tremendous job of offering both types of apparel. They are the king of sportswear in my opinion because you can find the unusual and you can also buy the classics. It’s easier to expand your clothes within the brand than it is to go out and try all different brands, each with different fits.

The Bugatchi men’s shirts size chart has been updated. Please note that actual measurements are shown. This is to help you compare with other brands you may already own. You can measure the same points and determine the correct size for you. Customers tell us that Bugatchi sizes run true to what they normally wear.

Most size charts are for “fits size”. For example, the Bugatchi ACF1643 crew neck, long sleeve, in size large has an actual chest measurement of 49″. The Ian Poulter size chart size large “fits size 45″ chest”.

The 1525 Polo’s have a roomier fit than all other Bugatchi shirts. Short sleeve shirts will have a shorter length and slightly smaller measurements than long sleeve shirts.

Our customers are fanatical about the Bugatchi brand and we want you to share your opinions with others.

USAGE RIGHTS RELEASE
By submitting your entry you agree that CEOgolfshop.com may use any information and images you supply in current and future marketing and promotional efforts, without any further compensation. CEOgolfshop.com is not responsible for lost entries.
We do not require personally identifiable information, however, it provides more value to our prospective customers.

Over the last 30 days, CEOgolfshop.com has nearly doubled the number of products offered in the online store. There are now nearly 200 different products with 1000’s of styles and colors available. Over 100,000 products are in stock at various warehouses we access. CEOgolfshop always sells the latest brand styles available, not clearance merchandise.

Due to the large number of SKU’s, fast changing inventories, and the different resources used to fulfill customer orders, CEOgolfshop is unable to maintain a live inventory for customers. This may occasionally inconvenience customers, but CEOgolfshop CEO Christine Speedy says “We fulfill a niche need for our customer base and our product depth exceeds any other resources our customers have tried. We may not be able to fulfill every color all the time, but we have so many options in fabrics and colors that we can nearly always find a suitable alternate.

The Bugatchi Apparel line has been expanded for both men and women. More photos have been added and inventory notations have been included for items in tight supply. CEOgolfshop focuses on customers who know what they want, and are seeking a reliable source to fulfill them.

Golf ball sales have doubled since updating the department this summer. Titleist and Nike Golf balls are the biggest sellers and CEOgolfshop expects incremental sales growth will continue with golf ball add-ons to apparel sales.

New for the 2008-09 Fall/Winter season, Bugatchi launched several white cotton fashion dress shirts, priced from $105. Each shirt has a different feel and a different fashion look. CEOgolfshop.com has selected three of them to sell in the online store. All are long sleeve and each has a different hand feel.

The Bugatchi long sleeve fashion dress shirt AS3223L44 has enough style you can look great without a jacket. The fabric has a 3-dimensional textured diamond pattern and is made with 99% cotton, 1% elastine, with a regular soft collar. The AS3221L42 100% cotton Bugatchi long sleeve shirt with spread collar uses stitching in a paisley pattern to create it’s design effect. The pattern appears white or shimmery (inverse) depending on how the light hits it. The Bugatchi fancy dress shirt AS3225L44 is made with 100% cotton. The fabric uses squares in a symmetrical fashion pattern that varies in appearance from grey to white with lighting. The fabric is somewhat shimmery and has a satin like feel. It has a hidden button down collar.

TENCEL® is Lenzing Fibers’ brand name for lyocell. A major break-through was made with the development of the unique nanofibril structure of this fiber. TENCEL®, made from wood pulp cellulose, offers a unique combination of the most desirable properties of man made and natural fibers: soft as silk, strong as polyester, cool as linen, warm as wool and as absorbent as cotton. Quite simply a “break-through” fiber.

The Bugatchi Tencel shirt introduced for the Fall/Winter 2008- 2009 season feels at least as soft as their high modal rayon content shirts, maybe even softer. It’s definitely a lightweight fabric. There is some stretchiness to the shirt, but minimal.

Lenzing calls Tencel® environmentally friendly and a good choice for people with sensitive skin. However, process of dying the fabric may include treatments with chemicals that could affect your skin. CEOgolfshop has never received any negative customer feedback about any Bugatchi shirts. In fact, most customers rave about how the shirts are the best they have ever worn,

Tencel garments are often recommended as good for travel because they pack light and retain their shape. Many Tencel® pieces are machine washable; though you should follow the label’s instructions for specific wear. If washed in cold water, Tencel® garments shrink about 3% with the first washing, but then won’t shrink in future washes. Tencel® also dries quickly, so drip-drying it may not take long.

The Tencel fabric compares favorably to silk shirts as well. Most people like silk for the hand feel. The Tencel shirts have a superb hand feel, but also are easier to care for and probably hold their shape better in varying weather, especially high humidity.

New for the 2008-09 Fall/Winter season, Bugatchi launched a new knit made with 85% modal rayon and 15% polyester. The fabric is so soft and smooth it feel’s like heaven on earth.  The medium weight stretchy knit is  perfect for fall weather. I don’t know whether to call this a sweater or sweatshirt  or just a knit shirt. It’s lighter than a typical sweatshirt but heavier than your average shirt.

The Bugatchi knit is available in three styles including, long sleeve mock neck, long sleeve half zip with self collar, and short sleeve crew neck. For those who love the ribbed modal rayon shirt, I think this smooth fabric makes a nice addition to your Bugatchi collection, giving a little variety in fabric textures you wear.

We do not have a showroom for consumers. Consumers can visit their local Nordstrom’s for many Bugatchi products.

We do have a showroom by appointment only for our resellers.
Our retail purchasing agents, ie resellers, have a number of ways to view our Collections. The Jack Nicklaus and Bugatchi showrooms are both located in South Florida, though in different cities. We are currently reviewing the feasibility of a seasonal collection presented online. What do you think? Is this a good idea, or do you attend enough trade shows that you think this is redundant?

The long sleeve mock ottoman knit is a fall/winter shirt. We have some product in, and more inventory will be available in September. The bulk of our winter inventory arrives in October. For the mock neck, we have stock for leaf green, marine blue, rosemary, ruby, russett orange, steel, and victoria blue at this time. This shirt is also available in crew neck and 3 button polo style in long-sleeve; crew neck, half-zip, and 3 button polo style in short-sleeve.

Due to high popularity, I strongly encourage advance ordering long sleeve Bugatchi ribbed shirts. We were out of stock in some of the most popular colors and sizes prior to Christmas last year.

Are you looking for a golf shirt with UV protection? Available in styles for both men and women, I tested the Bugatchi shirt with UV 50+ protection on consecutive days vs a FAMOUS NAME BRAND.

You can read my Bugatchi Women performance wear shirt review here.

The Bugatchi shirt is by far the nicest feel, fit, and performance of any moisture wicking shirt I have ever worn. I combined the red shirt with the silver Bugatchi Women textured skort, flower pattern. The first person I saw that day said I looked stunning. Sun exposure to my skin was completely blocked. I do not care for most moisture wicking shirts because they tend to be hot. This one actually breathed and I could feel the light breeze through the fabric. I really like a soft fabric on my skin and this is definitely best in class.

The next brand I tried was just as I expected- another disappointment. I generally can tell by the fabric feel whether I am going to love it or not and this one failed right away on the ‘touch test’.

Day 3. Bugatchi vs Nike dri-fit? Ok this was a pretty good match. I liked the Nike dri-fit feel this season and paid full price to test a complete outfit. Everything fit nice and worked pretty well on the course. It’s not as soft, but it’s not as much money either. However, after one wash carefully following instructions, the Nike products (top & skort) look worn and required ironing. Even so, it will never look like it did on the rack again. And this is another reason why the Bugatchi brand is far superior to others, not just in my opinion, but also that of our customers.

Long lasting, color fast, nice feel. They’re made that way, and they stay that way.
