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.
