The History of 'The Green Jacket'

As the Ryder Cup draws nearer Perry Club take a look at the traditions of the 'Green Jacket'.
Each year, the winner of The Masters is presented with the famous 'Green Jacket' and slipping on the jacket is a golden moment for many winners of the tournament.

So what is the history behind this beautiful and momentous piece of outerwear?

The tradition of the Green Jacket dates back to 1937 at Augusta National Golf Club where members of the club wore the jackets during the tournament so that fans in attendance could easily recognize them if they needed to ask questions.

According to the tournament's official website,
"Jackets were purchased from the Brooks Uniform Company, New York City ... Members were not initially enthusiastic about wearing the warm, green coat. Within several years, a lightweight, made-to-order Jacket was available from the Club's Golf Shop. ... The single breasted, single vent Jacket's color is 'Masters Green' and is adorned with an Augusta National Golf Club logo on the left chest pocket. The logo also appears on the brass buttons."
Soon, the Green Jacket became the symbol of membership in the ultra-exclusive Augusta National Golf Club. Slipping a jacket onto the winner of The Masters was a tradition that began in 1949 symbolizing that golfer's entry into the exclusive club of  the Masters Champions.

Tiger Woods has won 4 masters championships. A golfer who wins the event multiple times uses the same green jacket awarded upon his initial win (unless he needs to be re-fitted with a new green jacket).

Glorious Goodwood, Oh so Glorious!

'The racecourse is awash with colour. A vibrant sea of Panamas, Pimm's and panache. The scene is set for the world's greatest horses and jockeys to do battle as they strive for top honours at the iconic festival meeting.Fashion, high society and horseracing all come together for five enthralling days in late July to early August.' GloriousGoodwood.com

 Glorious... Summer sunshine, floaty dresses, chilled elderflower G&Ts and evening jazz on the Champagne Lawn...what's not to miss? Glorious Goodwood can only be described as a elaborate garden party with live music in every area and complementary strawberries and cream in abundance. It really is the sporting social highlight of the summer, and most gives Royal Ascot a run for its money in the fashion stakes.

As the fashion stakes are high Perry Club recommend a club blazer, chinos with a subtle hint of something fancy be it a cravat or bowie.We will be on the style hunt for a vintage feel with a modern twist, the typical Perry Club gentleman.

Sunshine, Strawberrys and Club Blazers

Welcome to the best of the British spectator sports -  Wimbledon 2014

Wimbledon is one of the most patriotic and historical events in England's sporting events calender, and is the longest serving of any current competition on the tennis circuit.

The All England Club is well known for the traditions it upholds such as the all white dress code for players, and the knowledge the crowd will drink Pimms and eat strawberries and cream in copious amounts whatever the weather throws at them.

The dress code the spectators choose to follow if off duty but classy, often a tailored look, chinos, linen suits and polo's or buttoned down oxford shirts. This is typical preppy fashion in all its glory, reminiscent of the Ivy League look, a favorite of Perry Club.

The official supplier of clothing to umpires, ground staff and ball boys and girls is Ralph Lauren, the braided blazers remaining a visual symbol of the tournament.
Perry Club look forward to donning a club blazer, some chinos, maybe a Pimms or two, and hope to see you court side to revel in the great British spectator sport that is Wimbledon.
