New Golf Clothing Company


UKKOAll golf crazy and fashion conscious men can breathe a sigh of relief with the recent launch of new British label UKKO.

UKKO is set to revolutionise men’s golf clothing with a unique approach and determination to combine sport and fashion. Working with companies and individuals based in the UK to make our clothes & accessories, UKKO is also a truly British brand.

Available from www.ukko.com, the launch collection features five ranges including pure merino tanks, v-necks and cardigans alongside 100% cotton polo’s that are double woven to make them perfect for a UK Autumn. All feature a unique, eye-catching logo made from titanium metal which is individually hand-stitched onto each garment with a bright contrast stitching, highlighting attention to detail.
Designer Michael Costelloe explains: “We didn’t want our brand to be just another embroidered logo on the racks; we wanted to create a strong identity that would make us stand out from others on the market. Of course it had to look good and have a golf theme too, so we looked at the best clubs in the world, how they’re made and thought that using a premium metal - titanium - as our logo would be pretty cool… and after months of research and wash-testing the UKKO brand identity was born.”
With clean, inspirational design, UKKO combines the finest materials, durability and edgy design features to create a look that will appeal to golfers and non-golfers alike.

Founder Nick Hovey adds: “The UKKO ethos is clean, modern and sophisticated. You don’t have to be an active golfer to appreciate our clothing - our garments are specifically designed to transcend the existing boundaries between what you wear on and off the course, so you’ll be equally comfortable wearing it in a bar or on the fairway.”

Looking at the superb reception the brand is already receiving in both the golf and fashion markets, we think they could be on to something.

UKKO sponsor a number of budding tour pros including Ben Jones who’s sizzling form in recent weeks lead to a tied 5th finish at the Players Club in Bristol, after rounds of 70, 67 and 70.

    This is a great line up of fashionable golf clothing. The very smart look and association with titanium and strength really contribute to the level of high quality these products ooze with.
