Behind The Design: FootJoy x Fair Harbor
Some days start in the water. Others start on the first tee. The FootJoy x Fair Harbor collection was built for those moments beyond the fairway. Bringing together two perspectives, performance and comfort.
FootJoy is deeply rooted in the game and has brought a century of experience to the table, allowing our focus to be on materials and sustainability. The result is simple: pieces that look good and move through your day without needing a change.
Built For the Course. Ready For Anywhere.
This isn’t about dressing for one moment.
Breathable polos that stay crisp wash after wash. Terry fabrics that feel broken-in from the start. Swim trunks you’ll wear long after you leave the water.
Everything is designed with the in-between in mind.
The walk off the course. The stop for a drink. The long way home.
The Thinking Behind It
The idea started with a simple shift: most people don’t live in categories.
“We’ve been thinking about how our product naturally extends beyond the beach for a while,” says Fair Harbor VP of Design Walter Bassano. “A typical day moves through different environments. Golf felt like a natural next step.”
FootJoy brought the technical foundation of what performance looks like at a high level. Fair Harbor saw the collection through a different lens, prioritizing how it should feel, how it will wear over time, and how to make it more responsibly.
Together, it became a balance.
Performance without the stiffness.
Comfort without the compromise.
Q&A with Walter Bassano - VP of Design, Fair Harbor
What was the core idea behind the collection?
Design for the in-between. Not just performance on the course, but everything around it. Pieces that feel natural wherever the day goes.
How did you approach materials?
Soft, breathable, and easy from the first wear. Recycled where possible. Built to last, without overcomplicating it.
What makes this different from traditional golf apparel?
It doesn’t separate golf from the rest of your life. You can wear it anywhere—and that’s the point.
Who is this for?
Someone who wants fewer, better things. Product that works, feels right, and fits into how they actually live.

Game Ready. Getaway Approved.
Golf is changing. Dress codes are loosening. The line between performance and everyday wear is fading. This collection leans into that.
Wear it on the course.
Wear it Beyond the Fairway.
