7 Best Izod Golf Alternatives in 2026 | Ranked

Updated on: October 28, 2026

Author: Graeme

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

Izod's SwingFlex basics are great value in America, but you can't order them direct from Britain. The seven alternatives below are golf basics you can buy here in 2026, most at similar money and several in bigger polo sizes than Izod's 4XLT.

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. Stromberg: Our top pick, for value polos and trousers you can try on in a UK shop
2. Callaway Apparel: Best for big and tall sizes up to 5X and 5XLT
3. Island Green: Best for a £24.99 stretch polo and a full golf wardrobe
4. adidas: Best for a mainstream brand with free 30-day returns
5. Three Putt Golf: Best for heavyweight golf streetwear and good-value polos
6. Slazenger: Best for low prices, with polos up to 5XL
7. Druids: Best for bright stretch polos up to 4XL

Why People Look Beyond Izod Golf

You can't buy Izod Golf direct from Britain. Its own site only delivers within the contiguous US, refuses parcel-forwarding addresses and offers email support only, so UK golfers end up paying import prices, mostly on Amazon UK. Its US returns also cost $8.95 for the label.

That's a shame, because the basics are good.

The SwingFlex golf pants average 4.8 out of 5 from 109 reviews on izod.com, and its Big & Tall polos go up to 4XLT. The SwingFlex Elite polo sold for $49 there on 28 October, labelled UPF 50.

However, every brand below sells to UK addresses in pounds. Our Izod Golf review covers the brand itself, including the Amazon UK route.

How I Tested

I've tested every brand on this list.

Izod is all about comfortable basics at low prices, so I compared like with like: stretch polos and trousers, and the biggest sizes each brand really makes. Then I checked what it costs to buy, deliver and return from a UK address. Prices are full UK prices, checked in October 2026.

Detailed Breakdown by Brand

Stromberg: Our top pick, for value polos and trousers you can try on in a UK shop

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

Key Features:

• Bentham Stripe Polo Shirt: £49.99 MRRP, in 88% recycled polyester and 12% elastane with UPF 50+, from S to 5XL
• Other polos: £29.99 to £49.99 MRRP at American Golf, with most at £34.99, such as the Knebworth Golf Polo
• Hampton Stretch Golf Trousers: £49.99 MRRP, in waists from 30 to 46 inches with short, regular and long legs
• Bandit Waterproof Golf Jacket: £99.99 MRRP, rated 20,000mm, with fully taped seams

Pros:

• The same fabric recipe: The Bentham polo uses the same 88/12 polyester and elastane split as Izod's SwingFlex Elite polo, in recycled polyester
• Bigger sizes: Up to 5XL on some polos and the Bandit jacket, and trousers to a 46-inch waist
• Free in-store returns: Take it back to any American Golf store

Cons:

• 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
• Less cachet: It's a retailer's own label rather than a golf name

Verdict:

Stromberg is the easiest way to get Izod-style basics in Britain: stretch UPF polos, trousers to a 46-inch waist and sizes up to 5XL, with a shop to try them on in. Its sales cut prices hard, too.

Callaway Apparel: Best for big and tall sizes up to 5X and 5XLT

Available on: callawayapparel.com · Read our full Callaway Apparel review

Key Features:

• Big & Tall Swing Tech Solid Polo: £68 to £69 in the UK view, in 92% polyester and 8% elastane with UPF 50, from 1X to 5X and LT to 5XLT
• Swing Tech Solid polo: £55 to £60 by colour, with regular sizes up to XXXL
• Dearer polos: The All Over Chevron Printed Polo at £69 and the Legacy Collection Logo Polo at £88
• Big & Tall range: Every Big & Tall polo comes in 1X to 5X and LT to 5XLT

Pros:

• Tall fits too: Tall sizes run from LT to 5XLT, where Izod's polos stop at 4XLT
• Well rated: The Big & Tall Swing Tech polo scores 4.9 out of 5 from 342 reviews on its site
• Live chat: Support runs on US Eastern hours, where Izod offers email only

Cons:

• Price: £52 to £93 a polo in the UK view, against Izod's $49
• Delivery: Free UK shipping only above £105
• Returns: Through Global-e, with return postage paid by you

Verdict:

Callaway is the pick for big and tall golfers, with polos up to 5X and tall sizes up to 5XLT. It costs more than Izod and it's the US store with a pound view, so get the size right before you order.

Island Green: Best for a £24.99 stretch polo and a full golf wardrobe

Available on: islandgreengolf.co.uk · Read our full Island Green review

Key Features:

• Performance Polo Shirt: £24.99, with four-way stretch and a mesh back yoke, in XS to 4XL
• Tour Stretch Tapered Trousers: £44.99, in waists from 30 to 42 inches with short, regular and long legs
• Waterproof Stretch Jacket: £69.99, with fully taped seams
• Other polos: Short-sleeve styles listed at up to £34.95, most of them sized to 3XL

Pros:

• Low prices: A stretch polo for £24.99, below the £30 to £35 most of Izod's polos cost on Amazon UK
• A full wardrobe: Polos, stretch trousers in three leg lengths and a waterproof jacket on one site
• Free returns: Its returns page says all returns within 30 days are free

Cons:

• Mixed messages: Its refund policy says the buyer pays return postage, so check before you order
• Delivery: £3.99 unless you spend over £70
• Few independent reviews: No Trustpilot profile and no ratings on its own site, though three of its Amazon UK polo listings score 4.3 to 4.4 stars from 412 to 625 ratings

Verdict:

Island Green is close to Izod's polo price from a UK brand, with a stretch polo, trousers and a waterproof all on one site. Its own pages disagree on who pays return postage, so check first.

adidas: Best for a mainstream brand with free 30-day returns

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

Key Features:

• Ultimate365 Solid Polo Shirt: £40, in stretchy, soft single jersey, from XS to 4XL
• Adi Performance Polo Shirt: £35, from XS to 3XL
• Ultimate365 Tapered Golf Trousers: £60, with four-way stretch, in waists from 28 to 42 inches with 30, 32 and 34-inch legs
• Recycled content: adidas says the Ultimate365 Solid polo is made with at least 70% recycled materials

Pros:

• Free returns: Within 30 calendar days of receiving your order
• Tour presence: Golf Monthly counted 12 of the world's top 100 in adidas clothing in August 2026, the most of any brand
• Well rated: The Ultimate365 Solid polo scores 4.7 out of 5 from 27 reviews on adidas UK

Cons:

• 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
• Sizes: The cheaper Adi Performance Polo stops at 3XL

Verdict:

adidas costs more than Izod, at £40 for the polo and £60 for the trousers, but it sells direct to UK addresses with free returns. The Ultimate365 Solid polo goes up to 4XL, and the trousers come in three leg lengths.

Three Putt Golf: Best for heavyweight golf streetwear and good-value polos

Available on: threeputtgolfclothing.co.uk

Key Features:

• Polos: The Pin High at £33.99, with a little give, plus The Caddie Retro and the 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
• Designs: Original golf graphics, such as Tee Time and The Scenic Route, plus plain Three on the Green basics

Pros:

• Free UK delivery: On every order, with no minimum
• Polo prices: From £33.99, close to what Izod's polo costs as an Amazon UK import
• Heavyweight fabrics: 305gsm cotton tees and 430gsm cotton-blend hoodies, made for the clubhouse as well as the course

Cons:

• Sizes: Polos stop at 3XL, below Izod's Big & Tall range
• No trousers or outerwear: Polos, tees, sweatshirts and hoodies only
• Returns: 14 days, with return postage paid by you, and no exchanges

Verdict:

Three Putt can't match Izod's Big & Tall range, and it doesn't make trousers. However, if you want a polo or a heavyweight hoodie from a UK brand, with free UK delivery, it costs about what Izod does on Amazon UK.

Slazenger: Best for low prices, with polos up to 5XL

Available on: sportsdirect.com · Read our full Slazenger review

Key Features:

• Check Golf Polo: RRP £24.99, selling at £12 on Sports Direct when we checked, in 65% polyester and 35% cotton, from XS to 5XL
• Performance Polo: RRP £22.99, selling at £9.50 when we checked, in lightweight 100% polyester, from S to 4XL
• Golf Trousers: RRP £34.99, selling at £15 when we checked, in waists from 28 to 50 inches
• Where to buy: Mainly through Sports Direct, in pounds

Pros:

• Very low prices: Polos selling for £9.50 to £12, well under Izod's Amazon UK price
• Big sizes: Polos up to 5XL and trousers up to a 50-inch waist
• Easy to find: Sports Direct sells it online in pounds

Cons:

• Basic fabrics: Plain polyester or poly-cotton, with no stretch or UPF claim on the Performance Polo
• Delivery and returns: £4.99 standard delivery, and change-of-mind returns cost from £4.99
• Retailer rating: Sports Direct scores 3.1 out of 5 from 308,471 Trustpilot reviews

Verdict:

Slazenger is the budget option: plain golf polos and trousers at a fraction of Izod's price, in sizes up to 5XL. You give up the stretch and sun protection that make Izod's polos good.

Druids: Best for bright stretch polos up to 4XL

Available on: druids.com · Read our full Druids review

Key Features:

• Legacy Polo: Listed at £30 and selling for £18 when we checked, in 90% polyester and 10% spandex
• Horizon Polo: Listed at £45 and selling for £26 when we checked, an 88% nylon and 12% spandex stretch print
• Tour Polo 2.0: Listed at £40, light, breathable and stretchy
• Sizes: Almost every men's polo runs from S to 4XL

Pros:

• Big sizes: Almost every polo goes up to 4XL
• Prices in pounds: With VAT included at the UK rate
• Well rated: 4.0 out of 5 from 76,445 Trustpilot reviews

Cons:

• Returns: 21 days from delivery for a refund, exchange or credit note, though its older refund policy says a refund means emailing Druids
• Return postage: Paid by you, or a £10 collection charge
• Soft list prices: Every polo sells below its listed price, so the list price tells you little

Verdict:

Druids suits golfers who want bright stretch polos for very little. The list prices mean little, and its returns pages disagree on refunds, so get the size right first.

Summary

Izod makes comfortable golf basics at bargain prices, but UK golfers can only get them as US imports, mainly through Amazon UK.

Stromberg is our top pick, because it's good value, stretchy and sold in UK shops. Callaway covers the biggest sizes, Island Green and Slazenger keep prices low, and adidas has free returns.

Frequently Asked Questions About Izod Golf

Can you buy Izod golf clothing in the UK?

Only as an import. izod.com delivers within the contiguous US only and refuses parcel-forwarding addresses. So UK golfers mostly buy it on Amazon UK, where most SwingFlex Elite polos cost £30 to £35 and the Slim Fit golf trousers about £37 to £45 in October 2026. US sellers also list it on eBay UK. We found no Izod at American Golf, Function18 or GolfOnline.

Who makes Izod golf clothing?

Centric Brands makes Izod's men's range, including Izod Golf, under licence from Authentic Brands Group, and sells it through izod.com in the US. The last tour deals we could find date from 2017 to 2019, with Scott Piercy, David Lingmerth and Marc Leishman.

What brands are similar to Izod golf?

For good-value basics you can buy in Britain, try Stromberg, Island Green, Slazenger or Druids, all sold in pounds. Callaway Apparel is the American performance brand with the bigger Big & Tall range, and adidas is the mainstream pick with free 30-day returns.

Which Izod alternative is best for big and tall golfers?

Callaway Apparel, whose Big & Tall polos run from 1X to 5X and LT to 5XLT. Stromberg has polos up to 5XL on some styles and trousers to a 46-inch waist, and Slazenger's Check Golf Polo goes up to 5XL.

Are Izod SwingFlex trousers worth it?

In the US, yes. The SwingFlex golf pants average 4.8 out of 5 from 109 reviews on izod.com and sold for $29.99 to $37.99 when we checked. In the UK, Amazon's Slim Fit golf trousers cost about £37 to £45, and Stromberg's Hampton Stretch Golf Trousers are £49.99 MRRP in waists from 30 to 46 inches.

Is Stromberg better than Izod?

For UK golfers, it's easier to buy. Stromberg is sold online and in American Golf stores, with free in-store returns, while Izod is only a US import here, mainly through Amazon UK. Both make stretchy polos with sun protection, and Stromberg's Bentham Stripe uses the same 88/12 fabric split as Izod's SwingFlex Elite polo, in recycled polyester.

Does Izod make Big & Tall golf clothing?

Yes. Izod's Big & Tall polos run up to 4XLT and 4XB, and its Big & Tall quarter-zips go up to 5XLT and 5XB. On Amazon UK, the Big and Tall SwingFlex Elite polo cost £28.64 to £96.99 when we checked, depending on colour and size.
