Our head covers
A few years back, we were making head covers for another company. We made covers using different fabrics and we had success selling all our products. The ones that always stood out were the ones we made using a high-end wool fabric.
As the time passed, the head cover market shifted but nobody ever took the wool concept and ran with it. Premium wool with leather trim was always the most eye-catching embodiment of a great head cover. There were others who made some great wool covers but the ability to easily customize them was the missing ingredient. High quality fabrics and easy customization options is why we decided to get back in the game.
The name
The name Wool Society calls upon those who believe in the classic stylings of our traditional game. Wool is a staple fabric that has stood the test of time. We believe so much in the fabric part of our product that without it, we wouldn’t be in this business. It speaks volumes to the commitment to quality and style from our team to you.
Wool Society legacy of golf
The game of golf really blossomed in the late 1800s and into the early 1900s. Some like to call it the Golden Age of Golf. Some of the best courses in the world were built in this era, and the most famous golf architects were doing truly iconic work that has stood the test of time.
The United Kingdom launched this era with great architects like Old Tom Morris, Harry S. Colt and Willie Park, who built courses like Muirfield, Carnoustie, Prestwick and Royal County Down. As the game expanded into America, men like C.B. Macdonald, Seth Raynor, Donald Ross, A.W. Tillinghast and Alister MacKenzie built some of the greatest golf courses we still play and revere today. Golf was booming, and it came with a high society feel. Men played in wool coats and plus-fours and women in long dresses. Golf was a game of status.
While we will always love the courses of that Golden Age, the stylings of the game are still every bit as important. We are paying homage to our ancestors as we pay attention to the finest details of the game, even down to the cover you use to protect your driver. The finest fabrics, subtle colors and modern shapes give us exactly what we were trying to make for our most discerning customers: a Refined Original.
