If you’re looking for a way to add some old-school sensibility to your golf attire, one way to do it is to buy a polo with a front pocket.
Worn by golf legends like Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus and Johnny Miller, what used to be 100-percent cotton front-pocket polos are again having a moment, with modern, performance fabric iterations created by companies like Matte Grey, Original Penguin and Johnnie-O.
