Pringle of Scotland is one of the oldest names in the scottish borders, the birthplace of the British knitwear industry. Founded in 1815 by Robert Pringle, the company began as a manufacturer of hosiery and underwear. It became one of the first luxury knitwear manufacturers in the world, having expanded throughout Europe, the United States and Japan during the 19th and 20th centuries.

During this time, a strong relationship between Pringle of Scotland and the world of golf evolved. In the 1930’s, the company designed the first intarsia pattern in knitwear, requested by the Prince of Wales for golf. Soon thereafter, Pringle of Scotland was known as the golfer’s brand.

In the 1950’s, Pringle of Scotland supplied the uniforms for both the British and the US teams in successive Ryder Cups. In the 1960’s, it was the first company to sponsor Arnold Palmer, arguably the most famous and successful golfer of all time.

In the 1970’s, Pringle of Scotland sponsored Tony Jacklin when he won the open and the US open, the first British player to win the title. In the 1980’s, Pringle of Scotland signed the largest sponsorship deal of the time with Nick Faldo, which extended to a twenty-year relationship with the label and the creation of the Nick Faldo Collection. The collection was a great success worldwide, experiencing unrivalled market dominance. during this time period, the company continued to sponsor and support up-and-coming golfers, such as Colin Montgomerie and Vijay Singh.

Pringle of Scotland’s continuing presence in the world of golf is testament to the continued success of the brand’s use of fabrications that are innovative and highly technical. Design, colour, and fit are key in all collections.

Pringle of Scotland’s golf brand has evolved to produce sophisticated and technical sportswear for the fashion-conscious golfer who wants both comfort and style on the course.
