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

Fore Bros Clothing is YouTube-born golfwear that takes itself seriously. Clean design, Portuguese production, and drops that sell out fast.

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: 7.9/10

Fore Bros Clothing launched in summer 2025 and immediately looked like a creator brand done properly. We liked the clean, wearable designs from creative lead Dan Freebairn, the mostly made-in-Portugal production, and the sensible split between a Lifestyle range and an On-Course range that stops the collection feeling like merch.

What tripped us up was the boutique small print: a 14-day returns window with no exchanges, no returns on sale items, a tops-only range with no trousers or shorts yet, and popular drops that sell out before you've found your size.

This brand is best for golfers who want course-to-street gear with genuine quality behind the badge, whether or not they watch the channel.

Key Features

• Signature tech/fabric: Soft heavyweight cottons on lifestyle pieces; pique and performance-blend polos, mostly made in Portugal
• Design language: Clean, minimal creator streetwear; sage, sand, and cream palettes over loud graphics
• Fit profile: Relaxed streetwear cuts on the Lifestyle range; sharper, sportier On-Course pieces
• Range depth: Polos, tees, half zips, hoodies & sweatshirts, a windbreaker, caps, beanies & accessories

Pros

• Portuguese manufacturing gives real quality credentials for a creator brand
• Professional design direction from Dan Freebairn (Size?, adidas and Highsnobiety credits)
• Clear Lifestyle vs On-Course split keeps the range coherent rather than merch-led
• Free UK shipping over £50 and accessible price points

Cons

• 14-day returns window, no exchanges, and sale items are final
• No trousers or shorts yet, so it can't dress you head to toe
• Popular drops sell out quickly and restocks can be slow
• Young brand (2025 launch), so long-term durability is unproven

Fore Bros Clothing Pricing

Fore Bros sits in the accessible middle of modern golfwear. You're paying more than high-street basics, but the Portugal production and design polish show up in the £40–£70 sweet spot where most of the range lives.

It's priced like a brand that wants repeat customers, not a fanbase cash-grab, and the frequent free-shipping threshold (£50) is easy to hit.

Comparison:

• Fore Bros vs Three Putt: Both chase course-to-street versatility. Three Putt tees (£31.99) undercut Fore Bros' £40–£45, while Fore Bros' £70 hoodies sit just under Three Putt's £78.99. Two different flavours of the same modern-golf lane.
• Fore Bros vs Big Wedge: Fore Bros has the deeper apparel range (polos, half zips, a windbreaker) and free UK shipping over £50; Big Wedge counters with S–3XL sizing and a bigger audience at near-identical prices.
• Fore Bros vs Rhoback: Rhoback is US performance-first, with polos at $92 (roughly £73) before shipping and duties. Fore Bros is cheaper landed in the UK and more streetwear-led, but can't match Rhoback's technical fabric package.
• Fore Bros vs Johnnie-O: Johnnie-O's American country-club polos run $98–$110. Fore Bros gives UK golfers a homegrown look at roughly half the landed price.

Promos/Outlet Notes:

There's a genuine sale section (Aged Arc hoodies drop from £70 to £55 and some tees from £45 to £29) but core drops and new collections rarely discount. Restocks are announced on socials and tend to move fast.

Verdict: 8.0/10

Fair pricing for Portugal-made quality. You're paying for design and fabric, not just the name above the door.

Fore Bros Clothing Fit & Sizing (Usability)

Fore Bros is really two fits in one brand. The Lifestyle range wears like considered streetwear. Relaxed, slightly boxy, made for the clubhouse and the pub after. The On-Course range is trimmer and sportier, cut to swing in without flapping about.

Notes:

• Polos: The Tour Polo (£45) is the sportier, trimmer cut; Classic Polos (£50) are true-to-size with more room through the chest.
• Tees: Relaxed, streetwear-leaning cut. If you're between sizes and want a neater look, size down.
• Midlayers: Half zips and hoodies are roomy without drowning you; hoodies feel properly heavyweight.
• Outerwear: The FB Windbreaker is boxy but swing-friendly, layering easily over a tee or polo.
• Heat/Humidity: Cotton-heavy lifestyle pieces run warm in midsummer; the On-Course polos breathe noticeably better.
• Size Charts: Per-product size guides are clear, with core sizes typically S–XXL.

Accessibility/Range:

• Men's-led with unisex styling; no dedicated women's line yet
• Extended sizing beyond XXL is rare, so bigger golfers are better served elsewhere

Verdict: 7.8/10

Two distinct fits done well. Just know which range you're buying from before you pick your usual size.

Fore Bros Clothing Core Product Categories

Polos

The On-Course polos are the sign this is more than merch. The Tour Polo is clean and athletic, while the FB and Club Classic polos in sage and sand feel premium in hand and look sharp with the subtle branding. Colourways are muted and modern rather than shouty.

Verdict: 8.1/10

Tees

Tees are the entry point and the personality: Club Tees, Triples & Doubles graphics, and aged-effect prints that nod to the channel without turning you into a walking advert. Heavier fabric than typical golf-brand tees, and they wash well.

Verdict: 8.0/10

Midlayers (half zips/hoodies/sweatshirts)

The strongest category. Club Hoodies (£70) are heavyweight and structured, half zips (£70) bridge course and street nicely, and the Arc Sweatshirt is an easy everyday piece. This is where the Portugal production is most obvious.

Verdict: 8.2/10

Outerwear

One windbreaker (£75) so far. It's a good one — light, wind-solid, with bold back branding — but a single jacket doesn't make an outerwear line, and there's nothing waterproof-rated for proper British weather yet.

Verdict: 7.4/10

Caps & Accessories

Caps are a genuine strength: Tour rope caps (£35), Club Core caps (£30), snapbacks and trucker styles, plus towels, socks, and driver headcovers. It's the most complete accessories line-up of any UK creator brand right now.

Verdict: 7.8/10

Fore Bros Clothing Materials & Tech (Construction, Sustainability)

Fore Bros made a quietly smart call early: manufacture mostly in Portugal rather than chasing the cheapest unit price. You feel it in the fabric weights and the finishing, even if the brand doesn't talk tech very loudly.

Backend (manufacturing & standards):

• Majority of the range produced in Portugal, with small-batch runs per drop
• UK fulfilment and returns handled via NVSN Group in Leicester
• No published sustainability certifications (OEKO-TEX, Bluesign) or supply-chain detail
• Quality control has been consistent across the first year of drops

Application (on-garment features):

• Heavyweight cotton tees, hoodies, and sweatshirts with soft handfeel
• Pique and performance-blend polos with neat collars and clean stitching
• Embroidered branding and quality trims rather than cheap prints
• No published performance ratings (UPF, waterproofing), so treat tech claims as light-touch

Verdict: 7.6/10

Construction quality above its price point and well above merch standard, but sustainability transparency and genuine technical fabrics are still to come.

Fore Bros Clothing Customer Support

Support is run like the lean online brand it is: polite, functional, and email-based, with the policies leaning protective of a small business rather than generous to the shopper.

Channels & Hours

• Email (support@forebrosclothing.com) and website contact form
• No live chat or phone line
• No published response-time targets

Policies

• 14-day return window from delivery; items unworn, tagged, and in original packaging
• Returns must include a printed returns form and go back at your own cost
• No exchanges — return and repurchase instead
• Sale items and gift cards are non-returnable; EU orders get the standard 14-day cooling-off
• Refunds land within roughly 10 business days of approval

Self-Serve

• Size guides and care notes on product pages
• Order tracking by email; wholesale enquiries page for shops

Verdict: 7.2/10

Professional but tight. The 14-day, no-exchange policy is the weakest part of the buying experience, so get your sizing right first time.

What Are Fore Bros Clothing's Review Ratings from Review Sites?

(As of July 2026)

• Trustpilot / Google Reviews: No meaningful presence yet — typical for a 2025-launch DTC brand. Most feedback lives on-site and on social.
• On-site reviews: Consistently positive, with buyers calling it “Absolutely top quality clothing. The material is very comfortable, soft and stylish” and polos “genuinely comfortable, well made, practical but smart.”
• Social proof: 300,000+ YouTube subscribers on the Fore Bros channel, sell-out clothing drops, and sell-out Fore Bros tournaments.
• Press: GolfTimes called it “one of the most exciting golfwear launches of the decade” and highlighted the Dan Freebairn design connection.

Synthesis:

Early days, but every signal points the same way: buyers rate the quality, drops sell through, and the design world takes it seriously. The open question is simply how the gear holds up over years rather than months.

Is Fore Bros a Good Golf Brand?

Yes, Fore Bros is a genuinely good young golf brand, not just good “for a YouTuber brand.” Portugal-made quality, professional design, and a coherent course-to-street range put it ahead of most creator launches. The trade-offs are a tops-only range, tight returns terms, and sell-out availability. If you like the Fore Bros aesthetic but want a fuller-fitting UK streetwear take with easier availability, Three Putt plays in the same lane at a similar price.
