Nick Faldo's yellow Pringle jumper
Still fits after thirty years:-
"For me, cashmere is one of life's true luxuries and so as a favourite all-time item I’m going to include my winning yellow Pringle cashmere intarsia sweater that I wore to win my first Open at Muirfield in 1987. It was the finest cashmere – those things were £300 a pop. Now you can pick up a cashmere for 50 bucks!"
"Florid, smug, middle-aged golf club bore in this country I'd say. Propping up the 19th hole in deepest Surrey bemoaning the perils of immigration."

A decent ones still 300 and above, unless you want it made by a North Korean in a Chinese factory

Re: Nick Faldo's yellow Pringle jumper
Those golf Pringles were the bee's knees back in 1983 as I remember. You needed an Argyle one for real status though, I think they were around the 40 quid mark back then. The plain ones were 18, or 24 can't remember the exact price.
I've just been on the Pringle website, truly awful.

Re: Nick Faldo's yellow Pringle jumper
I was a HUGE Pringle fan back in my "casual" days. I owned over 30. They had to be made a n the UK and I had no time for the Faldo ones (hated the logo). Some of them were straight up ugly! Haha but I was obsessed. I kept a few of the more choice ones as well as some vintage Lyle & Scott and Braemar numbers. Those old styles were built to last! I still have a soft spot for a nice lambs wool argyle jumper.

Re: Nick Faldo's yellow Pringle jumper
I have two Braemar shetlands that i bought at Archie Brown in Hamilton Bermuda in 1983. They are still in mint condition as i have so many sweaters and rotate them. Those two sweaters are a treasure to me. I have a couple of shaggy dogs and a couple more from Brooks. The Braemar are far better IMO. After the Braemar the next best shetlands i own were bought at LL BEAN about 20 years ago. The fabric of the Bean sweaters is not as fine as the Braemar but they are bulletproof. I was disappointed in the Brooks shetland. They seemed thin to me.

The Lyle & Scott ones also had cachet and as Formby states, Farah pants were mandatory. If you didn't have the look, you were out. The line in those days between having streed cred and having none was more stark and sheer than it is now, it seems.

Re: Nick Faldo's yellow Pringle jumper
L&S or Pringle v-neck with a Pringle roll neck under was the look round our way. Farah's of course, or bleach faded Lee jeans and trainers, which were too many to mention but Papa-boy Diadora were my faves. Don't forget the tweed deer stalker either! I, of course, had to go that bit further and bounce around with a dunlop golf glove half hanging out the back jeans pocket. It didn't catch but I thought it was super cool.

Re: Nick Faldo's yellow Pringle jumper
Lots of golfers wearing grey at The Open.
The clothes are getting almost tracksuitish too.
I also had Lyle & Scott from the pro shop sale - but the brand is now seen in Leather Lane market.
Faldo now 58. Time flies. Lawrie is not wearing well either and he is only in his forties.

Re: Nick Faldo's yellow Pringle jumper
L&S, Peter Scott, Pringle & Ballentyne (spelling) were BIG in my country in the 1980ies in the then-emerging golf scene ( a much more elite sport than in the UK - "public" golf courses were unheard of). Our "Casual" football hooligans did not have a clue about it.
Just before PS went down I bought a couple of crew and V neck lambswool ones in typical colours- ice blue, navy, forest green, burgundy.
I LOVE , this foum

Re: Nick Faldo's yellow Pringle jumper
Paul Lawrie is sadly typical of my part of the world. We from the North East of Scotland always look weathered and wind blown.
