The world of golf apparel is a lot like the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears — this jacket is a tad too stuffy; that polo is a bit too bold. Then there’s the new XC4® line from Johnston and Murphy, which is just right. The collection is comprised of the XC4® Golf Polo, XC4® Golf Jacket, XC4® Golf Shorts and XC4® Golf Pants — all of which are designed to perform on and off the course. The materials are stretchy, breathable and moisture-wicking, so they’ll work just as well on the back lawn as they will on the links; but it’s the little details like the XC4® Golf Polo’s forward shoulder seams — designed to increase mobility for an unrestricted swing — that make this collection worth checking out.
