“We are emerging for Fall 2016 with a fashion byword…FUN! Unique, performance lifestyle pieces create collections that are worthy of the most active woman”, says Justina Cordova-Bottomley, Senior Designer at Bette & Court. “Lighter palettes of mid-tones refresh our COOL ELEMENTS and create the CORE for our new fall wardrobe. We are introducing many new options as the look is happy and item driven so women of every age and inclination can mix and match. The sky’s the limit.”

Along with our original Cool Elements sun protection shirt with mesh under the sleeve, we are presenting some new options in silhouettes that are getting rave reviews in the previews. Prints, hoods, crews and lots of detailing tie in to the texture making the pieces unique and essential. The mesh is our trademark and it serves as function as well as fashion.

Lavender, calypso, mint and coral refresh the core essentials and become the strength of the 3 collections.

Lavender Ice- it is an intriguing color, one that evokes a sense of calm. It is sophisticated and chic bringing a cool energy to any garment. It is the perfect hue to use in contrast with slate and pop with a bold coral.

Minty Fresh- lush and elegant, this minty hue makes quite a splash against the warmer tones of the season. The addition of calypso ignites the collection and makes it all the more magnetic to view. Paring these cool shades with sharp black and white gives the collection a sense of excitement.

Sugar Rush- the significant hit of hot pink makes a strong statement when paired with a sunny ray of Coral. A perfect combination to give you that sweet rush of inner strength and confidence to conquer anything.

Bold prints and graphics make strong statement pieces while the small unique features make the difference. These exciting new lines concentrate on clean distinct design lines, while letting the strong prints and new silhouettes stand out.

Bette & Court is continuing the lead in sun protection with fashion and performance addressing the needs of all of us today.

As with any of Antigua’s Spring collections, outerwear is a fashion and a utilitarian asset. This season’s offerings utilize fabrics that mirror the golf shirts they’re designed to accompany. Fabric weights are embellished, to serve as warmth and protection without encumbering the golfer. Performance fabrics are engineered for function first and then interpreted into appealing layering garments.

“Designed to be multifunctional, our Spring ’16 outerwear styles can be worn to accommodate the season and the temperature,” says Sean Gregg, Vice President of Product and Development and Marketing Support. “Whether a style is worn over a polo or under windwear, it will accomplish the level of comfort desired.”

Four Styles

In keeping with trend, Circulate epitomizes this season’s fashion look of mixed heather patterns dyed in this palette. Pieced with solid interlock insets that separate the variation of distinct heather designs style Circulate is a wear anywhere and wear often style. Circulate is comfort, style and function in a mid-weight knit outerwear garment.

Split utilizes the jersey/spandex fabric developed for Antigua’s self collar polo style Edge, with more weight for long-sleeve knit outerwear. The color combinations of this style’s quarter-zip pullover are offered in every shade of pin-striped grey heather that are made more distinguishable with only the zipper’s fabric tape color and the collar’s inset of solid jersey as standout contrasts.

Horizon sets itself apart by using color blocking and mesh-inspired silicone print partial stripes. Placed just below the chest seam and back seam horizon lines, the silicone print is where color is added to embellish the style’s neutrality. Front and back contrasting jersey/spandex knit yoke fabric utilizes the exaggerated heather yarns that are also found in, and match back to, polo styles such as Element, Expanse and Surface. Horizon’s casual nuance reflects the outerwear category’s intention of not being limited to a single-wearing situation.

Rounding out the knit outerwear category for Antigua’s Spring ’16 collection is Ally. A multi-yarn fabric was developed as a three-dimensional jersey faced fleece. The jersey face uses tightly twisted colored heather yarns and a contrasting geometrically engineered jacquard fleece backing. The full-zip cardigan expands Ally’s versatility. Hip placement zip pockets aspire to the style’s jacket sensibility while the fleece’s lightweight breathability helps it wear as comfortably as a sweatshirt.

“The addition of multiple outerwear styles has been a turning point for us in the women’s collection,” says Danielle Dellios, head of women’s design at Antigua. “I have found there are so many different types of outerwear that it was easy to expand the offering by adding in shell pieces along with knit pullovers that act like layering pieces.”

COLORS

DESERT DRY™ is a moisture-wicking technology created exclusively for Antigua, to absorb and wick moisture quickly and evenly. The Desert Dry product family includes any garment using a fabric weight of 150 gsm or heavier. Typically fabrics over 150 gsm offer more body and improved drape for the customers who don’t like the ultra-lightweight “clingy” fabrics currently in the market. Examples of Desert Dry styles are Gypsy, Element, Jewel, Ascent, Stroke, Strive, Movement, Maverick, Equity and Pure.

DESERT DRY™ XTRA-LITE (D2XL) combines Antigua’s exclusive DESERT DRY™ moisture-wicking feature with specially constructed ultra-light fabrics for maximum wicking performance and optimum comfort. The D2XL product family includes any garment using a fabric weight of 150 gsm or lighter. These fabrics have been specially engineered to be lightweight while not being overly sheer. This is possible through the use of ultra-fine yarns which gives a fabric more body while not dramatically increasing the weight. Examples of D2XL styles are Champ, Jubilee, Premium, Radical & Modern.

Montreal, Quebec — The Spring 2016 golf line for Sunice® is divided into five categories: Rain, Wind, Thermal, Layers and Sportswear. “It is always our goal at Sunice to make garments that function flawlessly on the golf course and deliver on style; 2016 is no different. “We are very proud of our 2016 lineup,” said Conrad Tappert, President of Sunice.  “It covers all possible golf weather conditions, from cold and wet to dry and hot.”

The Sunice Rain category will once again be available in three different technologies and in three

price ranges: GORE-TEX®, FlexVent™ and  Zephal™.  All styles have been updated with new color combinations. “GORE-TEX® is our top of the line fabric and offers incredible performance even in the most difficult golf conditions,” adds Tappert.

Collins

The Wind Collection will continue to be available in two different proprietary technologies: Shield 3L and X2O™.  Shield 3L construction offers a soft knit on the outside, and a water-repellent laminate and mesh finish inside.  It is then coated with WxTech for additional protection.  The result is a garment that breathes freely, with plenty of stretch and total protection against the wind and light precipitation.   The new lightweight and packable Wind Collection features the X2O™ fabric which is made from fine, densely woven denier yarn to achieve optimal wind protection and breathability.  The X2O™ windwear products are also coated with WxTech for water repellency.  A great example of this X2O™ technology is the popular Collins Wind Jacket, which is available in 5 different color combinations.

“In the Thermal Collection, our Franz jacket and Ingo vest have been

updated and now features 3M™ Thinsulate™. This new synthetic insulation stays warm even when it’s wet so it was easy decision,” said Anita Sanches, Director of product creation.

Allendale

Many new colors have also been added to the Layers category.  As an example, our best selling Allendale Pullover has four new colors: Scarlet Flame, Toxic, Charcoal and Aquarius.  The Allendale Pullover continues to be popular because it looks great and delivers on ultimate comfort. This is because it is made with a high quality double knit fabric and four needle flat lock stitching.

In addition, Sunice has introduced additional styles of Sportswear which

feature the Coollite performance fabric. New styles include the Eastwood and Wyman polos.”We are very proud of our new Coollite™ polos,” says Ms. Sanches. “Thanks to their appealing look and comfortable feel, they are proving to be a big success ”

As with the Men’s collection, the Sunice Women’s 2016 Spring collection features the same five categories and their respective technologies. “New vibrant colors are dominating this year and we are loving it,” said Ms. Sanches.  “The design team had a lot of fun working with these colors. A nice example is our Elan waterproof jacket which features a Plumberry and Precious Purple combination.”
