About a month ago I got an email from Louise (that’s her, above) asking my advice about an event her country club was going to hold. In honor of the over 100 year old golf course reopening after renovation, they were having a “hickory stick” tournament, where the players were to dress in vintage. She needed help finding something to wear, and had found my photo essay on golf clothing. I quickly found a few items on etsy, and she bought the dress she’s wearing.
It was so nice to see how the event played out. The men are mostly in knickers and argyle, looking very snappy! More photos:
I’m hoping some industrous person made these for the event. It rather bothers me to think these knickers might actually be on the market…
And while this lady’s ensemble is not vintage, it sure looks to me like she gave careful consideration to vintage photos of Coco Chanel in her sporty slacks!

Argyle plus fours?!?!? I hope those ARE available on the market, as my husband would surely want a pair (he’s so tall that it’s impossible to find vintage that fits).

Jill, your point is well taken! I’ve emailed Louise and asked if she can track down the source of these for you.

Good News – Bad News: The company is Loudmouthgolf.com, but I don’t see any knickers. I suspect the young men pictured bought the pants and then had them altered into knickers.

Was this event in the San Diego area? The gentleman on the left in the argyle plus fours looks an amazing lot like a man I used to work with.

No, it was in Texas. Maybe he just has one of those faces…

Oh, Lizzie, great post. But I am sad to inform you, those pants are on the market. You can get them in 6 colorways.

Haha! Have you seen them in knickers? I only saw the pants and the shorts.

Loved these retro style golfing outfits – inspired me to dig out a photo of an Art Deco fairing of a lady playing netall or maybe even soccer, resplendent in big floppy hat, tie and waistcoat – posted on my blog if anyone is interested in seeing it. Best, Karen
