Island Green clothing

[slicer79]

Just wondering has anyone here any experience of using this brand.
Seen a few bits online that look good value for price.
Just wondering about quality? And sizing fit, true to size etc?

Got a few bits from County Golf and very happy with quality and sizing

Ditto. Have a few polo shirts , trousers and a windproof top, all OK for quality and comparable to most mainstream brands in my opinion. Sizing seems pretty standard too.

I would be interested to know in which country or countries the factories are that make these clothes, and if possible, who owns those factories.

I can pretty much guarantee that they will be made in China, along with most golf clothing.

They will be made in anonymous factories, owned by Chinese businessmen that you will never have heard of.

It's how it's been for 15 odd years or more. Cheap labour, cheap production

Yep. Almost certainly China or South East Asia. Even I think Galvin Green. Certainly Adidas etc.

I have been given a fair bit of Island Green stuff over the years when marshalling. I think they buy stuff in and add their own logo. As a result the quality can be very variable. Some Ok but some really poor. Thus you pays your money and hope for the best.

I see Island Green as a kind of 'cheap and cheerful' brand. Wouldn't expect them to last forever. Sort of golf equivalent to Sondico for football, or Slazenger gear for golf/other. Does the job at a low price if you don't want to spend more.

2 shirts, 1 jacket. No issues over a few years. Not for the fashion conscious imo.

TKMaxx online has lots of IG stuff for sale at the moment. Probably a high volume manufacturer and that means that "sale" prices are possibly quite common, so TKMx might actually be more expensive than your local golf shop. Buyer beware, especially where TKM is concerned.

They also seem to sell a lot via Sports Pursuit
