How We Review Golf Clothing Brands

Every review on the Three Putt journal is written by Graeme Whiles, the founder of Three Putt Golf Clothing. As a competing brand, we have an obvious conflict of interest. We take this seriously and address it directly in our review methodology, which explains how we assess brands consistently regardless of whether they compete with us.

Verdict and Quick Pick

Bogner is a Munich luxury sportswear house, founded in 1932, whose golf line covers stretch polos, technical trousers, shorts, skirts and jackets for men and women.

Brand Overview

Three Putt Golf

Three Putt Golf is a UK golf streetwear brand based in Leeds. The range is deliberately narrow: tees, long-sleeve tees, sweatshirts and hoodies. Each comes in six graphic designs: Contours, Happy Place, Tee Time, Reckless Driving, The Scenic Route and Three on the Green.

That focus has limits. There are no performance polos, trousers, shorts, outerwear, waterproofs or caps, and no women's-specific range. Three Putt is golf culture you wear around the game, not a full on-course wardrobe.

Bogner Golf

Willy Bogner Sr. founded the company in Munich in 1932 as an import business for skis, equipment and Norwegian knitwear. According to Bogner's own history, his wife Maria presented stretch trousers with stirrups in 1948 and created the B zipper in 1955. That zip pull is still the brand's signature.

Their son Willy Bogner Jr. raced skis before turning to film-making, and he worked on four James Bond films. He launched his first ski collection, Formula W, in 1971, and a golf line followed in 1976.

Golf now sits under the BOGNER Sport label. Bogner says its golf collection is "designed to bring together athletic function and contemporary luxury". On 1 October 2026, the UK site listed 99 men's and 117 women's golf items, counting each colourway. The range includes polos, trousers, shorts, skirts, dresses, jackets and gilets.

Key Features and Fabrics

Three Putt Golf

• Tees: 100% cotton, 305gsm, relaxed fit, in five colourways per design.
• Long-sleeve tees: 305gsm, 100% cotton, with a loose drop-shoulder fit.
• Sweatshirts: 400gsm cotton crewnecks in a regular fit.
• Hoodies: 430gsm, 56% cotton and 44% polyester, with an oversized drop-shoulder fit, in four colourways per design.

These are cotton garments, not technical performance wear. They don't offer moisture-wicking, stretch technology or weather protection. What they offer is fabric weight and a relaxed streetwear shape, with the graphics doing the talking.

Bogner Golf

• Polos: polyester-elastane stretch jersey. Bogner describes the Valentin as quick-drying and moisture-regulating, with a ribbed collar and a short B zipper.
• Trousers: the Anjo trousers use a twill in 100% recycled polyester with four-way stretch and a durable water-repellent finish.
• Jackets: the Holke is water-repellent stretch in a polyamide-elastane blend with synthetic filling. The Enas and Bolek have waterproof, windproof shells rated at 10,000g/m² breathability, and the Enas has fully taped seams.
• Details: B zipper pulls, B prints and, on some jackets, reflective tapes.

Of the 99 men's golf items listed on 1 October 2026, 29 were four-way stretch and 31 had a durable water-repellent finish. This is purpose-built golf kit. If you need full waterproofing for British rain, check the jacket's product page for a waterproof rating and taped seams.

Bogner's UK site shows prices in pounds, including duties and taxes. Orders run through its checkout partner, Global-e, so you shouldn't face a customs bill on delivery. In October 2026, none of American Golf, Scottsdale Golf, Function18, Clubhouse Golf, GolfOnline or Trendy Golf listed Bogner.

The gap is widest where the brands overlap. A £160 Bogner Cody polo costs more than three Three Putt hoodies at full price.

Price Verdict

Three Putt wins on price, by a long way. Bogner sits at the luxury end of golf clothing, and its prices reflect technical fabrics and a designer name. If you want that look on the course, it is a considered purchase rather than an impulse buy.

Fit and Sizing

Three Putt Golf

Each garment has one fit. Tees are relaxed and run from S to 2XL. Long-sleeve tees have an oversized drop-shoulder fit (S to XL), sweatshirts a regular fit and hoodies an oversized drop-shoulder fit (both S to 2XL). The shapes suit layering and everyday wear more than a tucked-in round.

Bogner Golf

Bogner uses European sizing alongside letter sizes. On its men's chart, S is EU 46, M is 48 and L is 50. A medium suits a 94–97cm chest, or about 37–38 inches. Golf polos run S to 3XL, while trousers and some jackets use EU 46 to 58.

Polos and jackets are listed as regular fit. Trousers such as the Anjo are slim fit with a mid waist. Bogner also offers SAIZ, an online size adviser that suggests a size from your height, weight and preferred fit.

Fit Verdict

Bogner wins for golf, with regular-fit polos and slim stretch trousers cut for the swing. Three Putt's relaxed and oversized shapes are built for comfort off the course. Check Bogner's chart carefully, as European sizes don't map neatly onto UK labels.

Style and Versatility

Three Putt Golf

Three Putt is golf streetwear. The six graphic designs nod to the game without looking like club uniform, and the tees and hoodies sit naturally with jeans or joggers. On the course, they suit relaxed rounds, the range and social golf. Golfers at clubs with a collared-shirt dress code will want a polo rather than a tee.

Bogner Golf

Bogner looks like European luxury sportswear: clean monochrome pieces alongside bolder colours, with graphic prints on some polos and colour blocking on some jackets. B zippers, B prints and BOGNER logos mark the brand. The polos and slim trousers suit traditional clubs. Polo dresses, sweat jackets and knitwear carry the look into smart-casual settings.

Style Verdict

It's a split. Bogner is the better choice for a polished look on the course and at lunch afterwards. Three Putt wins for casual, off-course wear and for golfers who want their clothes to show a bit of personality.

Quality, Durability and Sustainability

Three Putt Golf

Three Putt's quality story is about fabric weight: 305gsm tees, 305gsm long-sleeves, 400gsm sweatshirts and 430gsm hoodies. On sustainability, the honest answer is short. Three Putt makes no recycled-content or eco claims. Its tees are 100% cotton.

Bogner Golf

Bogner's product pages list detailed fabric compositions and care instructions, with double-stitched hems on polos. Polos such as the Valentin are mild-wash, no-tumble-dry synthetics, so they need a little more care than cotton. For jackets like the Enas, Bogner advises reactivating the water repellency with gentle heat after washing, and re-proofing after repeated washes.

On sustainability, the Enas and Bolek jackets are made without intentionally added PFAS, and their inner linings are partly recycled polyester. The Anjo trousers are 100% recycled polyester. Good On You rated Bogner "We avoid" in July 2026, scoring it 1 out of 5 for planet and for people. It says Bogner doesn't publish enough about its labour policies.

Quality Verdict

Bogner wins on technical construction for golf, with stretch fabrics and properly waterproof shells such as the Enas. Three Putt offers heavyweight cotton at a much lower price. Neither brand has strong sustainability credentials, though Bogner has made some specific fabric choices.

Customer Support and Returns

Three Putt Golf

UK delivery is free. Support is by email at support@threeputtgolfclothing.co.uk. You can return items within 14 days of delivery. Email support first, and note that you pay the return postage.

Bogner Golf

Bogner ships UK orders by DHL. In October 2026, its UK delivery panel listed DHL Standard at between £0 and £13 depending on order value, and DHL Express at £11, or £17 on orders over £400. Check the delivery charge at checkout before you pay.

Returns are generous: Bogner says they are always free, and its returns page gives the current window. Help runs through an online help centre, operated by Global-e, with chat and ticket forms. Bogner also lists an international freephone number. Mainstream UK golf retailers don't stock it, so you'll usually be buying online from the brand, without a shop fitting.

Support Verdict

Bogner offers more: free returns and a chat-based help centre. Three Putt's advantages are free delivery on every order and a simple UK email contact. If you're between sizes, Bogner's free returns make trying two sizes much less risky.

Our Pick

Buy Bogner if you want a polished, European luxury look on the course: collared stretch polos, slim water-repellent trousers and jackets that work at a members' club. It's expensive, and you'll most likely buy it online rather than from a UK golf shop. Our full Bogner golf clothing review covers the range in more depth.

Buy Three Putt if you want golf style for the rest of your week: graphic tees, long-sleeve tees, sweatshirts and heavyweight hoodies at a fraction of Bogner prices. Plenty of golfers will sensibly own both.

Frequently Asked Questions About Three Putt vs Bogner Golf

Is Three Putt a good alternative to Bogner Golf?

Only for some of what Bogner does. If you want golf-inspired clothing for off the course, Three Putt's tees, sweatshirts and hoodies cost far less. If you need trousers, skirts or jackets for playing, Three Putt doesn't make them. Bogner, or one of the brands in our alternatives guide, is the better fit for that.

Which brand is better on the course?

Bogner, clearly. Its polos are polyester-elastane stretch jersey that dries quickly, its trousers have four-way stretch and a water-repellent finish, and jackets such as the Enas and Bolek are fully waterproof. Three Putt's cotton tees and hoodies are fine for a relaxed round, but they aren't technical golf wear.

Is Three Putt good quality?

Three Putt uses heavyweight fabrics for what it makes: 305gsm cotton tees, 305gsm long-sleeves, 400gsm cotton sweatshirts and 430gsm hoodies. They are casual cotton garments rather than performance wear. Returns are accepted within 14 days of delivery if something isn't right, after you've emailed support.

How do the fits differ between Bogner and Three Putt?

Bogner uses European sizes, so a medium is EU 48, for roughly a 37–38 inch chest. Its polos and jackets are regular fit, and trousers like the Anjo are a slim fit. Three Putt's tees are relaxed and its hoodies oversized with dropped shoulders. It runs S to 2XL, except the oversized long-sleeves (S to XL).

Which brand is better for off-course wear?

For everyday casual wear, Three Putt. Graphic tees and heavyweight hoodies are made for jeans at the weekend. Bogner is the better choice for smart-casual settings. Its sweat jackets, knitwear and polo dresses work for travel or lunch at the club, though many of its polos still read as golf shirts.

Are Bogner and Three Putt sustainable?

Neither makes big claims. Bogner lists PFAS-free water repellency on some jackets and recycled polyester in some trousers, but Good On You rated it "We avoid" in July 2026, citing too little information on labour policies. Three Putt makes no recycled-content or eco claims; its tees are 100% cotton.

Which brand is better value for money?

Three Putt, if value means price. Its tees start at £24.99 with free UK delivery. Most of Bogner's men's golf polos are £160–£195 at full price and its jackets reach £595. Bogner is a luxury purchase, priced for technical fabrics and a designer name.

Which brand ships better to the UK?

Both are easy to buy in the UK. Three Putt delivers free on every UK order. Bogner shows pounds including duties and taxes, so you shouldn't face a customs bill on delivery. Its DHL Standard charge depends on order value, and returns are free. In October 2026, big UK golf retailers such as American Golf and Scottsdale Golf didn't list it.
