And some don’t think that way and will be a bit more aware and have it in their thoughts
A number of manufacturers have tried to move away from the old Chinese sweatshops

I think a lot of people will say this to look like they have morals,but in reality it’s not true.

It’s a tough one, what extra would you pay for ethical clothing?
£2 extra for a top?
£5
£10
£20
Everyone will have a cut off point.
And in reality, many of us benefit from these companies making more money as in one way or another a lot of us will be shareholders to some degree. Many of the large pension funds we are part of will have holdings is these large global companies and we all want our pension to do well.
There are a lot of layers to this onion

Big generalisations about overseas working conditions. Not all are sweatshops, but I'm sure not all would meet uk employment law.

Exactly. Why pretend to care when you really don't because you keep bugging and wearing the clothes?

There is always a bit of spin when it comes to reporting pay and conditions in the ‘sweatshops’. They report the workers only get paid £1 a day but forget to say the average wage in the area is 50p a day. Not that I am saying everything is rosy but sometimes the full facts are not reported

I used to work in the uk textile industry, now totally decimated by cheap labour and manufacturing costs overseas.
I’m not gonna lose to much sleep worrying about where my golf kecks are made - just as those companies didn’t care about the loss of tens of thousands of uk jobs.
Economics innit.

Like you and me 99% of people walk into a shop & see something they like,look at the price & don’t give a 2nd thought to the working conditions it was made in.
It’s just virtue signalling

Just seen some pics of Tiger in his new clobber.
Looks like trousers and a pullover.

As a huge Tiger fan since the 90s, he's the reason why I started following golf in the first place, I love the Nike/TW apparel. The hats, polos, shoes, the wardrobe's full of that gear.
The TW logo is iconic imo, it's well designed, looks cool and inspiring, and aestheticly it just works. I can't say the same for any of this SDR branding.
Disappointed about his latest take of "moving on", especially when he has the intellectual rights to it. I didn't see Jordan moving on from his iconic branding and air Jordans etc.

Can we please get back on topic and stick to discussing the great new range rather than the ethics of global consumerism. Thats behind us now.
I can see the youth really going for the natty collarless type hoodie, and, have you seen the ecru colourway gloves ? Very classy.

They are and you can tell by the quality
We went with them for our scratch teams kit - top isn’t great , mid layer is like cardboard
But they do some decent deals
We will be going to Glenmuir which is a bit more expensive but better quality

The clothes I've had from Druids recently have been great quality.
Don't know about the customer service as I haven't needed it.
