Anyone who has ever owned a piece of golf outerwear knows that it is almost always unforgiving golf in style. However, there are unicorns who manage to transcend the sport, transitioning seamlessly from the course to the rest of your life, where no one will know you just played 18 years old. This J.Lindeberg bomber jacketworn by Viktor Hovland in this week Players Championshipis one of them.
J.Lindeberg, the Swedish lifestyle brand, is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year and has long sought to connect sports, fashion and culture. As you can see in the above photo of Hovland wearing a bomber, this sweater has very little going for it, but primarily, it’s the bomber silhouette that makes it sing. Bomber styles are all the rage in off-course fashion at the moment, but they’re not something you often see on course wear, mainly because jackets tend to be made from materials that aren’t conducive to a comfortable swing, like leather or suede. J.Lindeberg solves this problem by using jacquard knit construction.
Color pops on the cuffs, hem and collar, JL bridge logo on the back and snap buttons further validate the sweater’s lifestyle vibe, making this an easy and stylish piece to slip on and off when needed.
“This sweater is perfect for wherever I go,” Hovland said. “It has a relaxed fit, but the cuffs are comfortable enough to rock. I can do a bit of work on the range and then go straight to dinner, which I think is really cool and something I’ve always loved about the brand.”
A sweater like this can be dressed up or down – paired with tailored trousers for a polished look, or baggy jeans for a casual happy hour. Such versatility is most welcome in the world of golf apparel.
