The collaboration between FootJoy, the #1 Shoe in Golf, and Harris Tweed Hebrides has resulted in the introduction of a limited-edition footwear range titled “The Stamp” Premiere Series. This collection features hand-woven tweed with a ‘basket weave’ pattern that pays tribute to the iconic 8th hole at the Open Championship. Governed by The Harris Tweed Act, the fabric must be handwoven using traditional methods in the Outer Hebrides to maintain the integrity and quality that Harris Tweed is known for globally. Available in Field and Wilcox models, each pair comes with a unique shoe bag made from the same cloth as featured on the shoes.
Mark Hogarth, Brand Ambassador at Harris Tweed Hebrides, expressed his excitement about collaborating with FootJoy once again, highlighting the quality and commitment to heritage and innovation that both brands share. The design for this year’s collaboration was inspired by the blending of six different yarn colors to achieve varying shades of blue, along with a pattern repeat that resembles a postage stamp, symbolizing the 8th hole at the Open Championship in Ayrshire. The collection combines Harris Tweed® wool cloth with soft full grain leather and calfskin details to deliver craftsmanship, quality, and style.
The Field and Wilcox models from “The Stamp” Premiere Series are not only stylish but also feature performance innovations. Custom gold Pulsar softspikes and multi-directional traction elements provide stability and traction against swing forces from any angle. The VersaTrax+ technology ensures unparalleled traction and stability in all conditions and playing surfaces. Chris Tobias, Vice President of Global Footwear at FootJoy, expressed excitement about the partnership with Harris Tweed Hebrides, emphasizing the mutual dedication to quality and performance shared by both brands.
FootJoy brand ambassadors such as Justin Thomas, Max Homa, and Will Zalatoris will be wearing the Field and Wilcox models at the upcoming Open Championship. The FJ x Harris Tweed Premiere Series collection is available on footjoy.com and select retailers for a limited time. Additionally, a 23-year-old Japanese golfer used Nippon Shaft’s N.S. PRO MODUS³ Prototype steel shafts in his irons to win the Japan Golf Tour’s Shigeo Nagashima Invitational Sega Sammy Cup, showcasing the performance and quality of Nippon Shaft products.
