7 Best Bonobos Golf Alternatives in 2026 | Ranked

Updated on: October 28, 2026

Author: Graeme

We test golf apparel the way we play. Hard, social, and honest.

Bonobos built its name on trousers that fit, but its website won't deliver to Britain. These seven alternatives cover trouser fits, waists and leg lengths in 2026, plus the polos to wear with them, and you can order every one from the UK.

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.

Top Picks

1. lululemon: Our top pick, for slim, classic and relaxed golf trousers from a UK site
2. Under Armour: Best for waists up to 44 and legs up to 36 inches
3. Stromberg: Best for budget trousers up to a 46-inch waist
4. adidas: Best for a tapered trouser from a big tour brand
5. Glenmuir: Best for smart trousers in short, regular and long legs
6. Three Putt Golf: Best for polos and golf streetwear to wear with them
7. Original Penguin: Best for a retro American look

Why People Look Beyond Bonobos

Bonobos's trousers are the reason to look, and also the problem. bonobos.com doesn't deliver to the UK, the main route we found is Nordstrom at about £100 a pair before shipping, and duties are added at checkout. Its big 2026 campaign was about chinos, not golf.

The fits are still the best thing about it.

Its Performance Link Pants come in Slim, Tailored, Athletic and Slim Taper fits with inseams from 26 to 36 inches, and its Tailored fit runs up to a 46-inch waist.

However, none of the brands below matches that many named fits, so each one answers the fit question in its own way. Our Bonobos golf review covers the brand itself, including the Nordstrom route.

How I Tested

I've tested every brand on this list.

Bonobos is about fit, so I judged each brand's trousers first: how many cuts it makes, the waist range and the leg lengths you can choose. Then I looked at how easy it is to send a pair back if the fit is wrong. Prices are full UK prices, checked in October 2026.

Detailed Breakdown by Brand

lululemon: Our top pick, for slim, classic and relaxed golf trousers from a UK site

Available on: lululemon.co.uk · Read our full lululemon review

Key Features:

• ABC Slim-Fit Golf Trouser 32L: £138, in 95% nylon and 5% elastane, with a tee pocket and waists from 26 to 40
• Water-Repellent Classic-Fit Golf Pant: £138, a straight leg in waists from 28 to 40
• Stretch Twill Relaxed-Fit Golf Pant: Up to £138, for a roomier cut
• ABC Slim-Fit Trouser (Warpstreme): £118, a casual trouser listed in its golf section, in 28, 30, 32, 34 and 37-inch lengths

Pros:

• Three golf fits: Slim, Classic and Relaxed
• Free returns: Within 30 days of receipt on full-price items
• Free hemming: Its stores hem most trousers for free, though a hemmed pair can't be returned

Cons:

• Price: £138 for a golf trouser, against $129 for Bonobos's Performance Link Pants
• Online only: The golf trouser pages say they aren't available in store
• Poor Trustpilot score: 1.7 out of 5 from 419 reviews for its UK site

Verdict:

lululemon gives UK golfers a real choice of fits, with slim, classic and relaxed golf trousers, free returns and free hemming in its stores. It's the dearest pair here, though.

Under Armour: Best for waists up to 44 and legs up to 36 inches

Available on: underarmour.co.uk · Read our full Under Armour review

Key Features:

• Drive Tapered Pants: £60, in waists from 28 to 44 inches with 30 to 36-inch legs
• Drive Pro All-Weather Pants: £75, in a regular, classic fit
• Matchplay Tapered Pants: £55
• Polos: From the £35 Tech polo to £70 for the Curry ArmourDry Printed

Pros:

• A big size range: Waists from 28 to 44 and legs up to 36 inches on the Drive Tapered
• Free returns: Within 60 days
• Grip waistband: An internal grip keeps your shirt tucked in through the swing

Cons:

• Poor Trustpilot score: 1.3 out of 5 from 1,345 reviews for underarmour.co.uk
• Sporty look: More athletic than Bonobos's chino style
• Two main cuts: Tapered and regular, rather than Bonobos's named fits

Verdict:

Under Armour is the pick if your waist or leg sits outside the usual run. The Drive Tapered Pants go up to a 44-inch waist, or a 36-inch leg on waists up to 42, for £60, and you get 60 days to send them back.

Stromberg: Best for budget trousers up to a 46-inch waist

Available on: americangolf.co.uk · Read our full Stromberg review

Key Features:

• Hampton Stretch Golf Trousers: £49.99 MRRP, a tapered cut with short, regular and long legs
• Weather Tech Stretch Golf Trousers: £59.99 MRRP
• Hampton fabric: 98% polyester and 2% elastane, quick-drying, with a grip waistband
• Polos: £29.99 to £49.99 MRRP at American Golf, with most at £34.99

Pros:

• Big waists: The Hampton's size selector goes up to a 46-inch waist, level with Bonobos's Tailored fit
• Lower prices: £49.99 MRRP, and American Golf's sales often cut it further
• Free in-store returns: Take them back to any American Golf store

Cons:

• No named fits: The Hampton is tapered and the Delta is pleated, both £49.99 MRRP
• One stockist: American Golf sells it exclusively, online and in its stores
• Postal returns: Online orders can go back within 30 days, but you pay the postage

Verdict:

Stromberg is the budget answer for bigger golfers, with a tapered trouser up to a 46-inch waist and three leg lengths for £49.99 MRRP. There are no named fits, but you can try them on in an American Golf store.

adidas: Best for a tapered trouser from a big tour brand

Available on: adidas.co.uk · Read our full adidas review

Key Features:

• Ultimate365 Tapered Golf Trousers: £60, with four-way stretch and a water-repellent finish
• Sizes: Waists from 28 to 42 inches, with 30, 32 and 34-inch legs
• Adi Performance Polo Shirt: £35, made with at least 70% recycled materials
• Ultimate365 Solid Polo Shirt: £40, from XS to 4XL

Cons:

• Waists stop at 42: Below Bonobos's 46
• Delivery strings: Free for adiClub members, or over £40 for everyone else
• Poor Trustpilot score: About 1.2 out of 5 from more than 2,800 reviews for adidas.co.uk

Verdict:

adidas is the mid-priced pick, with a tapered trouser in three leg lengths for £60 and free returns. Waists stop at 42, so bigger golfers should look at Under Armour or Stromberg.

Glenmuir: Best for smart trousers in short, regular and long legs

Available on: glenmuir.com · Read our full Glenmuir review

Key Features:

• Lightweight Stretch Performance Golf Trousers: £75, in 92% polyester and 8% elastane with four-way stretch
• Leg lengths: Short (29 inches), Regular (31 inches) and Long (33 inches), in waists from 32 to 42
• Technical Water Repellent Winter Golf Trousers: £85, thermal-lined, in the same waists and legs
• Polos: The Performance Pique at £60, with most stripes and prints at £65

Pros:

• Easy UK buying: Free UK delivery and free returns
• Highly rated: 4.8 out of 5 from 16,817 Feefo reviews
• Smart look: Plain, club-friendly trousers that suit a polo and a jumper

Cons:

• Narrower waists: 32 to 42 inches only, so nothing for a 28 or 30-inch waist, or above 42
• No named fits: The lightweight pair is cut sleek and modern, and the winter pair has a classic straight leg
• No exchanges: Return for a refund and reorder

Verdict:

Glenmuir suits golfers who want a smart, clubhouse trouser in a proper leg length. It's easy to buy and return, but the waist range is narrower than Bonobos's.

Three Putt Golf: Best for polos and golf streetwear to wear with them

Available on: threeputtgolfclothing.co.uk

Key Features:

• Polos: The Pin High at £33.99, with a little give, plus The Caddie Retro and the colour-blocked Dogleg at £38.99, all regular fit in S to 3XL
• Tees: 305gsm heavyweight cotton from £29.99, cut relaxed with a longer body
• Hoodies and sweatshirts: 430gsm hoodies from £49.99 and 400gsm cotton sweatshirts from £42.99

• Polo prices: From £33.99, against $78 for Bonobos's Berwick Golf Polo
• Heavyweight layers: 400gsm sweatshirts and 430gsm hoodies for colder rounds

Cons:

• No trousers: Polos, tees, sweatshirts and hoodies only
• Returns: 14 days, with return postage paid by you, and no exchanges
• Cotton-led: Only the Pin High polo is a stretch blend

Verdict:

Three Putt doesn't make trousers, so it won't solve the Bonobos fit question. However, once you've found your trousers, its polos start at £33.99, with free UK delivery on every order.

Original Penguin: Best for a retro American look

Available on: originalpenguin.co.uk · Read our full Original Penguin review

Key Features:

• The Player Golf Trousers: £70, a flat-front cut in 78% nylon and 22% elastane, listed in waists from 30 to 38, and to 42 in one colour, with 30, 32 and 34-inch legs
• Golf polos: £50 to £70 at full price, with £60 the most common price
• Other trousers: The Glenn Plaid and Polar Pete Thermal at £70, and the Flat Front Pete Performance at £60
• Logo: Pete the Penguin on the chest

Pros:

• A UK store: Delivery is £3.95, or free over £50
• Tour players: Its Summer/Fall 2026 golf collection names PGA Tour winners Kris Reitan, Nico Echavarria and Brian Campbell

Cons:

• One cut: A flat-front trouser, with no named fits
• Poor Trustpilot score: 1.5 out of 5 from 63 reviews for its UK site
• No exchanges: Return and reorder instead

Verdict:

Original Penguin is the style pick, with the same American spirit as Bonobos and a flat-front golf trouser in three leg lengths. It's more about the look than the fit, though, with one cut to choose from.

Frequently Asked Questions About Bonobos

Can you buy Bonobos golf trousers in the UK?

Not from Bonobos. bonobos.com doesn't deliver to the UK, so the main route we found is Nordstrom's website, where some Bonobos golf trousers cost about £100 before shipping. US sellers also list some on eBay UK. Duties and taxes are added at checkout, and most in-stock items are estimated to arrive in 5 to 13 business days.

Who owns Bonobos?

WHP Global owns the Bonobos brand, and its US website and shops are run by Phoenix Retail, the group that bought Express out of bankruptcy in 2024. Bonobos started in 2007, when two Stanford business students set out to make trousers that actually fitted.

What brands are similar to Bonobos for golf trousers?

lululemon is the nearest for fit choice, with slim, classic and relaxed golf trousers on its UK site. Under Armour, Stromberg and adidas offer more waist and leg sizes for less money, and Glenmuir and Original Penguin are the smarter, more classic picks.

Which Bonobos alternative is best for big waists?

Stromberg, whose Hampton Stretch Golf Trousers go up to a 46-inch waist on the size selector, level with Bonobos's Tailored fit. Under Armour's Drive Tapered Pants reach a 44-inch waist, with 36-inch legs on waists up to 42, and adidas's Ultimate365 Tapered trousers go to 42. lululemon's casual ABC trouser, listed in its golf section, also reaches 46 in some colours.

Which Bonobos alternative has the most leg lengths?

lululemon's ABC Slim-Fit Trouser, listed in its golf section, comes in 28, 30, 32, 34 and 37-inch lengths. Under Armour's Drive Tapered Pants run from 30 to 36-inch legs, and adidas, Glenmuir and Stromberg each offer three leg lengths on their main golf trousers.

Are Bonobos golf trousers worth it?

In the US, for the fit, yes. Its Performance Link Pants cost $129 and come in four fits with inseams from 26 to 36 inches. In the UK, Nordstrom sells them at about £100 before shipping and duties, in one fit with 30, 32 and 34-inch inseams. International returns aren't free either, so a UK pair is the easier buy.

Does Bonobos make golf polos?

Yes. Its Berwick Golf Polo was $78 and the Flatiron Golf Polo $88 on its US site earlier in 2026, in a standard and a slim fit. As with the trousers, bonobos.com doesn't deliver them to the UK. Three Putt's polos start at £33.99, with free UK delivery.
