Nine Days Of Christmas: Johnnie-O Pants And More

Day two of the gift guide for those anticipating receiving nothing they wanted shifts from Seamus Golf's classy accessories to the often agonizing subject of good golf pants. Two suggestions will be part of my gift to you, but only suggestion #1 comes with a discount!

Maybe you wanted a pair of Johnnie-O's under the Christmas tree but were never asked? Well the nice folks at Johnnie-O are providing a discount code just for the readers of this site, even the miserable trolls!

Now, what to get from this maker of golf-inspired (and cleverly engineered) menswear from midwestern-raised and the decidedly-West Coast converted John O'Donnell?

I've been buying Johnnie-O's clothes for years and sense from my own purchases (along with what I see golfers wearing), that they've dialed in both the fit, color and sensibility of their brand, which is to let you wear something functional on the course, while also owning something you can wear in a non-golf setting.

Golf shirt-wise I love all their offerings, but of late have leaned toward the "Prep-formance" polos because who needs ironing when you're traveling. I've been virtually sleeping in their current golf-friendly vest, one of many new outwear items served up this fall. And for off the course, their button down shirts feature Johnnie's why-didn't-Ralph-Lauren-think-of-that "Tweener" button.

But I'm most excited about Johnnie-O's recent forays into pants because it's hard to find pairs that work for both golf and social settings. You'll notice by the dwindling supplies that their Fillmore cords have been a big hit thanks to three elements: great fit, a touch of stretch in the fabric you don't normally get in a cord, and colors not normally seen in cords.

For year-round golf purposes, check out the Napa pant. It's closer to a traditional cut but still modern enough. The style I've been enjoying most, however, is the Cal pant. It's a jean fit not cut too tight but definitely not a dad jean.

And Merry Christmas at 25% off!
