Quiet Golf's modernist roots bring lux simplicity to golf.
The brand remains sleek and elegantly detailed.
Quiet Golf stands out from a lot of other golf brands not in that it stays true to its name, but because of what that entails. The vibe one gets when looking through the website, or the Instagram, or the shelves of their California store, is reflected wholly in the name. Tones of earth are used throughout the brands various styles, whether it’s the stripes rounding out a polo or the logo emblazoned onto the side of an off-white baseball cap. And speaking of logo, the once logo-less brand has found one that reflects the balance of elegance and nature that they capture within every collection. Quiet has always stayed true to the naturalistic side of golf, their pieces reflecting the colors and scenes found while playing on a course. These include t shirts depicting deers grazing on a fairway, or a chart of the different types of grass, or their entire RealTree accessory collection, which I still use for my towel and hybrid cover to this day.
The Quiet Golf fall/winter collection upholds this vibe by releasing a lot of different types of pieces all retaining the same ambience and color theme throughout. Trees, grass and water are felt as this drops biggest inspirations, leaving the wearer with a sense of calm and connectivity, trying to capture it the same way golfers do on the course. Dark green and brown knit sweaters are a standout, their high quality evident through their design and through Quiet Golf’s proven track record, focusing on smaller sized drops to ensure that the clothes are made top notch. The tree motif is continued in the polos, which share shades of brown, tan, and olive, solid color and solid striped. The navy pieces, like the hoodie or the thin striped polo, bring that pop of color to the earthy tones the same way the sky or a lake does to a forest. Rounded out with bone and bright green long sleeve polos, Quiet Golf’s eye for sillouhuets is apparent. They stray away from their vein of simplicity for just one item, the owl crewneck, which features a dripped-out owl with a bag of clubs on his back standing smack in the middle. This one is already selling out online, so be quick.
Top half aside, the collection also includes classic black golf pants, with nylon material for those hot Cali days, as well as a chino with maybe the coolest waist design I have seen. A hidden clasp, combined with the elongated and uniquely spaced belt loops and the angled pockets combine for a pant that looks like it could be used for golfing, skating, and everything in between. It’s all about the details here at Weekenders Weekly, and we’re glad that Quiet Golf is so enamored with the little things as well. Like usual, Quiet also provides street-ready tee shirts; a box logo design borrowing back the tree-inspired hues of the knit, and a more graphic tee influence with large print, multiple logos, and even a phone number for the brand’s “pro shop”. Arriving in navy and brown, these shirts expertly translate the same ideas that are carried within the on-course selection, through their designs and colors and cuts. It provides the wearer with the same feelings, and helps the collection stay true to the vision of the brand and the atmosphere of this release.
Rounding out the drop is a large selection of hats. Definitely one for the aficionados, the various styles of hats utilize the logo in fonts both big and small, and the owl makes a comeback in much fancier form. While the overall color tone is consistent with the rest of the collection, here Quiet allows its products to pop a bit with bright red five-panels and caramel-on-tan baseball caps. Some standouts are the white with navy scripting on the side, and the forest green is definitely a contender for best green out of all the various hues used in the drop.
I’ve been following Quiet for 2 odd years now, and have always been a fan of their brand’s style and overall choice for design. They were some of the earliest brands to have a permanent physical location, which I firmly believe is vital not just for the expansion of a golf brand but for the growth of the game as a whole. I have yet to visit, but I always love seeing how the design on the store reflects the brand’s clothing, marketing, social media, and overall mood to a tee. It might be ironic to call it a sleeper brand, as they have already done some monumental things like holding tournaments, they have an entire (fire) collaboration with Puma styled by Rickie Fowler himself. They have an entire dedicated community committed to their ideas and their vision. But, I believe that it is a term that Quiet Golf embraces, one told through the visage that covers the brand from top to bottom. When they release a collection of fine quality, intricately designed clothes, it’s not done with a large marketing push and loud media fanfare. It’s announced smoothly, slickly, with a couple of high quality cinematics and incredibly stylized first look photos. Just because their community is smaller, it doesn’t meant that their love for the brand is any less stronger than anyone else. They just cultivate their consumers more naturally and intimately, which takes time but leads to a stronger and more fruitful relationship. When it comes to Quiet Golf, if you know you know, but just because it’s done quietly doesn’t mean it’s done secretly. It just means you probably weren’t looking hard enough.
