Just wondered if anyone had any feedback about Druids Golf, it seems the prices are very good, but before I order anything I wanted to know if the quality suffers because of the low prices or are they simply an unsung hero?

There's a thread already on this with quite a few responses.
I've bought three items from them now and have been pretty happy with the quality. Just be aware that whatever price you pay, it will be on sale cheaper within a few days of you ordering.
More sales than DFS!

I got a polo from them in the Black Friday sale for £14. It's nice soft, stretchy material which is how I like my golf polos, and it's true to size (medium for me). I see some of their prices are back to £28-30 though, not sure I'd pay that as they're not massively better than other polos you can get for £20.

I’ve bought a few bits as they are cheap.
Although the polo I bought was slightly undersized compared to the jacket I bought, I’d say the quality is equal to FJ.
In fact I would not be surprised if they were made in the same factory.
Obviously I know they are not but they look and feek Exactly the same level of stitching, sizing, material and quality etc.
Good gear for the price imo.

Yeah I don't disagree, I just mean you can go on County-Golf and get Adidas or Under Armour polos for 18-20 quid so not much incentive to buy a Druids one at 28 quid. Fine when the Druids ones are under 20 as well.

Oh I’d agree with that tbf.
UA build arguably the best quality gear of most sports wear providers in my experience. Personally I’d buy them before your Nike, adidas, puma etc etc.
Similarly you can pay the same price for the likes of cutter and buck or Greg Norman etc for the same price point and in My experience they are inferior from a quality and prestige perspective. The latter being important to some more than others.
In a side note. The majority of my golf wardrobe is made up of mainly RLX, j Lindeberg, Oscar Jacobson, under armour and some Galvin green stuff.
Now reading that you will assume I’m some kind of brand w@@@@r (which I am in some respects) however…
I have genuinely never paid anywhere near RRP for anything.
I’ve bought a brand new £200 quid RLX jackets for £ 48 quid, new Galvin green paclite jacket with an RRP of £400 for £110 from Snainton. ive also never paid more than £40 quid for a polo by and large, yet I’ve got a dozen or so that are from the more prestige (snooty ?) brands.
My point being that yes Druids make very good gear, yes I would recommend it to anyone really.
The prices are good but similarly if you have the patience then you don’t have to buy them in lieu of getting somthing a bit nicer from a more high end seller.
That said. If they have a style you fancy then buy it as you will 100% be happy with it when it arrives.
Assuming it fits your gut, which mine never unfortunately ?

Are Druids stuff not made at their place in Edinburgh?
I was in there last week and saw a room of sowing machines so assumed they were made on-site

Don’t except the highest quality and you won’t be disappointed.
Don’t expect any consistency in sizing either.

Never had a single issue with either of these.
Ive had polos, midlayers, hoodies caps and even a waterproof bag from druids with no issues at all and all accurately sized.

The stuff I bought seems pretty decent. The polo's are definitely summer use but fitted well, the shoes are pretty sturdy but they've gone in the garage for later on . The mid layer is ok but not certain when I'll wear it

I ordered a rain suit and got a free polo for £99 so hopefully I won't get wet anymore!!! Once Xmas etc is done we'll have to get out for a round.

Resurrecting this thread. Has anyone bought polos from Druids recently? If so, what was the quality like?
I like a few of their designs (Pineapple Skullz 2.0, I'm looking at you!) but the price almost seems to fall in to the "too good to be true" category.

I have a few of the patterned ones and they are very good quality in my opinion. An improvement on the early output they had out (at the top of this thread). Very nice, stretchy, cool material, similar to the Peter Millar/G-Fore style material-wise. Yes they quite often reduce them down to 20-odd quid which is great value.

I bought one about a year ago. In my eyes, the quality isn't up there with your Adidas etc. Some people can't tell the difference. I think these people must be crazy. But it's not bad, by any means.
Note that I didn't have one of their more premium offerings (if there is such a thing on Druids) so maybe that is where I'm missing something.

To expand on what I was saying - the first shirt I bought from there years ago was a pretty plain pink one, and the quality wasn't great on that. The logo letters came off it, for example. I ended up moving it on via Vinted. But the patterned ones are more premium. I don't know if their plainer ones are still of the old, lesser standard, since I don't buy those ones now - but that might be what sjw got. For example the collar was floppy on the plain one, whereas on the patterned ones the collar is a little stiffer, so you can see the difference straight away there. And the D logo is embossed onto the collar on the patterned ones, so it won't just peel off like the printed logo did on my old plain one.Almost polar opposites in two posts...

Thanks Olly. When you say embossed, do you mean embroidered?
I think at £45 for two polos it's probably worth a punt, just wasn't sure if it was a "Carlisle to beat Liverpool" type bet or not.
Love a funky design and the pineapple skullz ones are awesome

Yeah I had a plain one, came in the "ambassadors" bundle.
@GreiginFife I edited my comment with another line at about the same time as you liked it so I'm not sure you saw it, basically saying the above - some might be better than others.
Olly, was the shirt "pretty plain", or did you look pretty in it?

You young lads probably make them look good. Might be more of a struggle for me!

Yeah, I have about 4 of their whacky designs now, I think they're great.
