D1 D2Devereux Debuts Spring 17 Collection With New Fit, Fabrications And Feel

SCOTTSDALE, AZ. – Devereux, an innovator in properly styled men’s golf and resort clothing founded by brothers Robert and Will Brunner, will debut its Spring 17 Collection before trade audiences at the MAGIC Las Vegas and PGA Fashion and Demo Experience events this week in Las Vegas. Devereux’s Spring 17 introduction marks the brand’s full evolution from a golf specific men’s brand to one that is all encompassing of the entire luxury resort travel lifestyle, demonstrated with the introduction of a new fit, new fabrications and a new brand feel that is palpable.

Devereux’s Spring 17 offering will feature what Creative Director Robert Brunner is calling an “Increased Fit” in the new garments. The “Increased Fit” will be found primarily in the tops with longer sleeves, increased chest width and added room in the shoulders.

Beyond the evolving fit, Devereux’s Spring 17 Collection will be characterized by new, performance driven fabrications. A focus on providing consumers with quick drying, moisture-wicking, lightweight comfort influenced led to several exciting new formulations. One of the garments that best illustrates these advances is Devereux’s innovative “Hybrid” short that is designed for equal comfort and performance on land or in water.

Taking the luxury resort feel further than it ever has, Devereux has teamed up with a popular Hawaiian artist to co-design a new style polo that makes the wearer feel like he’s on vacation whenever he puts it on. This is just one of several new printed designs in the Spring 17 Collection that helps Devereux bridge the gap between fashion, art and luxury-resort travel cultures.

“The early feedback we’re getting from some of our longtime customers who have experienced sneak peeks of the Spring 17 Collection has been nothing short of phenomenal,” said Robert Brunner, Creative Director and Co-Founder – Devereux. “We are stoked to roll out the entire collection to both the menswear and golf industries this week, as we believe the new styles will resonate well with current customers who have always understood the Devereux vibe, and with new accounts, as well, who should now have a better sense as to what we’re all about and that we offer something truly different from the other men’s apparel choices in their shops.”

Devereux apparel is crafted for resort lovers and golf enthusiasts, and features an array of polo shirts, pants, shorts, various luxurious layering items and headwear that is designed to seamlessly transition from the course to the street.

unnamed (1)“Aha” – KenRick Golf Belts

 Aug 15, 2016 – As golfers, we’ve all had it happen.  You hit your approach shot, walk to the green to mark your ball, and you notice a pitch mark.  You reach into your pocket to grab your divot tool only to get stabbed in your hand.  Ouch!
Enter KenRick Golf.  Creative partners Ken Block and Rick Schad had their “Aha” moment and designed a golf belt to solve this annoying problem.  The new patent-pending KenRick Golf belt provides a stylish way to carry your divot repair tool and ball marker conveniently on your belt while keeping these important tools of the trade close at hand.
KenRick’s precision crafted, premium leather belts are no gimmick. The belts uniquely and cleverly combine function with fashion. The distinctive divot repair tool is made of a special, strong and lightweight alloy for strength and durability.  A steel ball marker attaches magnetically to the back completing the sleek attractive ensemble.  Both slide in and out of the tip of the belt for safekeeping.
“Critically, the end tip’s design is not bulky or cumbersome; the divot tool sleekly slides out of the tail,” said Marty Hackel, Golf Digest Fashion Director in “Golf Digestix” (March 30, 2016) “Add this to the list of items that you didn’t know you needed until you finally had it.”
Golf course superintendents will applaud you for wearing a KenRick belt.  This exciting innovation provides a quick and easy divot repair system that helps in maintaining green surfaces and keeps that top of mind.
“No more fumbling around your golf bag or dumping the entire contents of your pocket all over the green, said Block.  “KenRick Golf belts keep your divot tool and ball marker always on the ready.”
KenRick Golf belts are made in the USA.  Leather models are $95 and are available in three color options, sizes 24 to 50 inches. A crocodile-embossed leather model is $110.  Customizable web belt designs will be available at the end of August.  KenRick Golf belts are available online at www.kenrickgolf.com, on www.amazon.com and at select pro shops.
