HOLDFAST

Proper British golf kit, built around real weather, natural materials, and good people.

Scroll

I started HOLDFAST because I grew tired of buying synthetic golf clothing that looked the part but rarely performed properly in the conditions I actually played in.

Years spent in the military and professional sport taught me how much good kit matters — not for appearance, but for comfort, trust and reliability when conditions turn.

Golf then gave me something else entirely. Time outside with friends. Competition. Humour. Perspective.

HOLDFAST started from that.

I wanted to build proper golf kit for real conditions alongside a small group of friends who've helped shape and test the early ideas with me — early tee times, links and mountain golf, weather most people would avoid.

We wanted clothing that didn't look or feel like modern sportswear. Just well-made kit that looked right on the course, worked properly in bad weather, and still felt good long after the round.

I also wanted to create a club that wasn't built around status, money or exclusivity for the sake of it. Just good people, good humour, competitive rounds and gear you naturally reach for time and time again.

HOLDFAST starts with a small founding membership, a limited first collection, and a handful of trips each year. Where it goes from there depends on the people who become part of it.

If any of that resonates, the way in is below.

GREG BARDEN — THE FOUNDER
No. 02 · Product Philosophy

Five principles. Held quietly.

01Real Weather
We build for the rounds that test you. Wind off the channel, rain that arrives sideways, cold mornings.even the sun. The kit is good in those conditions, or it is not good at all.
02Natural Materials
Merino. Cotton. Down. Ventile. We choose fibres that age honestly, weather into themselves and last past the seasons that sold them.
03Long Rounds
Comfort that lasts past the turn, into the bar, into the drive home.
04Understated Quality
Better fabric. tried and tested construction. Nothing chasing a trend.
05Built To Trust
Made in mills we visit. Kit that you put on without thinking and take off only when it is time.
No. 03 · Founding Kit

Nine bits of kit. Acting as one.

No. 01
Field Polo
The shirt the round is built around. A clean, properly cut polo with enough structure to look right and enough give to swing freely — equally at home on the first tee or the clubhouse afterwards.
No. 02
Field Hoodie
The layer you throw on before the round, keep on through most of it, and still wear long after the last putt. Relaxed, understated and built for real British conditions.
No. 03
Field Pullover
Built for cold morning tee times, long walks and changing weather. A proper golf layer designed to move naturally through the swing without ever feeling overly technical.
No. 04
Field Trouser
Built around movement, comfort and long days outdoors. Clean enough to wear anywhere, practical enough to play 36 holes in without thinking about them once.
No. 05
Field Gilet
Light enough to swing in. Warm enough to rely on when the wind turns. Designed to become one of those pieces you instinctively pack every time you play.
No. 06
Field Smock
A pull-on layer for the days that turn. Wind-ready, quick to throw on between holes, with a chest pocket for the things you actually carry. Built to shrug off weather without making a thing of it.
No. 07
Field Thermal
Designed for winter golf, links wind and the rounds most people cancel. A dependable cold-weather layer without the bulk or stiffness of traditional golf outerwear.
No. 08
Field Cap
A simple everyday cap designed to look better the more it's worn. Understated, durable and built for long rounds, bad weather and life beyond the course.
No. 09
Field Beanie
For frost-delay mornings and the back nine when the light goes. A close-knit beanie that holds its shape, sits right under a waterproof hood, and earns its place in the bag from October onwards.
