Quiet Golf's Winter Collection tacitly blends classic styles into a retro-futuristic amalgam

In the summer of 2021, I was an intern at Golf Digest, writing a piece on emerging golf brands reimagining what a pro shop could be. I was scouring online and social media for a final company to include when I somehow stumbled on the Instagram post for Quiet Golf’s small yet elegant store in California. I was immediately enamored with the brand’s take on golf clothing. High quality visuals, naturalistic muted tones mixed with simple yet thoughtful designs. Blending navy swatches of cotton with beige and burgundy polos, Quiet takes quality over quantity to the extreme. They release their products in small batches with the knowledge that every stitch is meticulously thought of and planned, and their most recent winter drop only solidifies this all further.

The 22-piece drop includes enough for a whole wardrobe, with a a multitude of styles and colors to choose from, ranging from navy nylon pants to full clay t shirts. Quiet has elevated themselves once again introducing a cashmere crewneck that is sure to feel as nice as it looks, releasing in the aforementioned grey as well as a clay colorway (mix of brown and maroon). Another vest hits the scene, in the navy motif as well as a beautiful forest green that we’ve come to see used again and again (don’t stop now), it’s “tech vest” moniker being built on with the use of 100% polyester and including pockets along the front. A new logo is released, added to the now large-ish selection of logos Quiet can choose from. This one keeps up that “simple yet elegant” look of a lot of Quiet’s pieces, an orange with the number “64” inside celebrating the brand’s Orange County roots. Find it on the t-shirts, hats, and the less expensive cotton crewnecks. These will run you $110 while the cashmere will run you $300. Their “cruising” logo looks to be a fan favorite, as the t shirt it’s on has already sold out.

For more golf ready pieces, they have a large selection of hats in this drop, from green to red to blue to white, there’s one for every palate. The Orange County logo returns, as does their monogram logo on two different styles. I love how the brand uses different materials on the same images or designs to evoke an entirely different feel. Similarly to Malbon, Quiet is inspired by the natural surroundings of their product launches, and they are able to bring the consumer to so many different locations just by utilizing cotton or nylon, or adding sherpa to one hat while holding back on another. The brand has grown a lot since I first found their pro shop online, branching out of the more traditional styles and colors to include new takes on their materials and logos, all while staying true to the original mission of meticulous detail. It’s no wonder that the clothes closest to their roots always seem to be my favorite.

The monogram nylon pants are a perfect modernist take on a very traditional style of pants. Firstly, it is almost as if a traditional pair of golf pants were to be put through a Jetson’s-esque time machine, introducing a style of retro-futuristic fusion I have not seen since Radda Golf. The Forest Green track pants, while more for streetwear, look perfect for the course and the runway in the way they are cut and shaped. The ribbed waist is partnered with a cutline down the very front, bringing that angled edge that is also seen on the more golf ready monogram nylon pants. These traditionally styled pants are brought forward in time in just the right places, with the angled pockets bringing that sneaky modern look that meshes perfectly with the muted button and zippered pocket on the back. Once I get my hands on these, I will be sure to bring an in depth review. I would not be surprised if this retro-future fusion, the tweaking of subtle details on classic styles to create something new entirely, becomes a new niche entirely within the fast growing niche of golf fashion. Oh, and I haven’t even gotten to the polos.

Quiet Golf’s polos have always been my favorite product they’ve released. I have golf polos from about every golf brand that has been created in the last 6 years; they all vary from each other more than I honestly would have thought. It’s more different than comparing Nike to Adidas to Puma, for example. Quiet, whatever their formula is, applies the finest mix of coloring, detailing, and weighting that I have worn in a polo. They have found their new favorite design (mine too) in the striped polo, which takes colored stripes on a white polo mixed with off-white collars and stitching. In the fall, we saw these release in green and brown, perfect for the nature inspired collection. Now, we see them return in another two styles, this time a deep burgundy and a beautiful navy as well. The use of navy is not new to Quiet Golf, being featured in many of their other styles, but the more rare burgundy is very welcome. That polo might be my favorite of the whole collection, it perfectly pairing with the grey cashmere, or even the forest green track pants. It’s sure to be a stand out of any golf collection.

Some other highlights include the “Property Of Quiet Golf” long sleeve t-shirt, another humorous logo for the brand to play around with, as well as the clay t-shirt, balancing well with the use of red in the hats, and the unbelievably detailed Letterman Jacket. Already selling out, it’s makeup of different materials, colors, and accents, as well as the swath of logos and patches, make this one a potential cornerstone for Quiet Golf of years to come.

Fans of the brand, especially as it is about to enter a phase of exponential growth, can look at this drop and see a real evolution in design and function from its early stages. Not that things have changed drastically in the last few years, but moreso they’ve only been built upon, more detail added, more thought taken, new colors used, logos created. I have loved watching the brand grow in this time, branching out to different vibes, different places. Old Tom Capital is about to take this brand into an entirely new stratosphere, which I truly can’t wait to see, and as a huge proponent of physical activation in growing a company in this space, it should introduce the brand to so many more fans. I feel comfortable in believing that even in the next phase of Quiet Golf’s evolution, they will stay true to the themes and values that the brand is currently grounded in. If anything, that elite, detail oriented, somehow effortless mix of designer streetwear and clubhouse fashion that this brand has carved out, should never be lost. But, that is just me rambling at this point. I should just be quiet.
