Duca Del Cosma to Unveil Top Quality Apparel Line at the PGA Show
NORTH PALM BEACH, FL – Duca del Cosma, the premium brand that has taken the golf world by storm with its ultra-stylish men’s and women’s golf shoes, is about to work that same magic on the industry’s apparel segment.
The Italian golf fashion brand will launch its first-ever apparel collection in the US market at the PGA Show in Orlando, bringing the same eye-catching European vibe that distinguishes its footwear to an impressive collection of men’s and women’s polos and layering items.
Golf professionals and buyers looking to enhance their apparel assortment can visit Duca del Cosma’s booth (#6573) located in a key footfall area of the show floor to see this fashion-driven yet highly functional collection, which aligns with the brand’s vision for modern golf styling and often complements footwear selections.
The fall 2025 line of men’s and women’s polos has been crafted with the fashion savvy golfer in mind to provide chic, high-performance comfort on the course, in the clubhouse or for any number of other daily activities.
Men’s models, the Romeo, Romeo Pro, Riccardo, and Rocco are available in striking shades of navy, light blue, mid blue, and orange with slightly contrasting plackets, as well as an orange, blue, and white sublimation print that ties these colors together to present a cohesive group at retail.
Women’s polos, the Lucia and Chiara, are offered in lovely combinations of purple/white, knockout pink/white, and light blue/white with a tapered, body-skimming fit that will flatter most body types.
All Duca del Cosma polos are made of a premium quality bamboo charcoal and the recycled REPREVE® performance fabric that’s easy care and features moisture management and a Polygiene anti-odor treatment. The shirts are decorated with the recognizable Duca del Cosma logo, which is displayed proudly on the chest and upper back of each polo style, while offering key features like 4-way stretch for athletic freedom of movement, a soft hand feel against the skin, and subtle Italian design touches on the buttons, back neck tape, and side seam.
Also included in this initial apparel collection are mid-layers boasting a luxuriously soft heathered texture, which are designed to complement the polos and other pieces in the lineup. There’s a half-zip style for men (Luca) and full-zip (Isabella) and roll-neck pullover (Alessia) options for women with features like a premium Duca branded YKK zip-puller, premium quality Modale/Micropoly/Spandex fabric, subtle Italian design touches on the inside collar and side seam, and thumb hole to keep your hands snug on cooler days.
“This ground-breaking apparel collection, made with the more extroverted golfer in mind, brings Europe’s finest styling touches to the course and is sure to please the most discriminating tastes,” Lauwers said. “It’s a must-see for any retailers looking to spruce up their golf shop assortments this year to wow existing customers and draw in new ones.”
Duca del Cosma sells its premium shoes in 40 different countries and operates from three offices around the world – The Netherlands (HQ), the United States and South Africa.

The new lightweight VENTUS White profile is designed specifically to provide increased launch and spin while still maintaining proven VENTUS stability and consistency. VENTUS White provides players exceptional lightweight performance in an all-new profile. The improved and enhanced VENTUS HB lineup features VeloCore+ Technology and is available for the first time in an all-new red launch profile to offer players of all skill levels next-generation performance and feel.
2025 VENTUS HB
Re-engineered to bring players the highest performance hybrid shaft to date. VENTUS HB ushers in a new era of hybrid shaft technology by incorporating VeloCore+. This proprietary Technology enhances the original combination of materials found in VeloCore and adds a third material to the bias to elevate feel and performance to unprecedented levels. The result is a shaft that delivers:
- + Speed: Faster swing speeds and enhanced ball speeds.
- + Accuracy: Pinpoint precision on every shot.
- + Consistency: Reliable performance with unmatched stability and feel.
VENTUS HB shafts with VeloCore+ are now available in all three launch/spin profiles similar to the wood shaft line. The VENTUS HB collection will now feature a new higher-launching Red shaft profile, providing further versatility for golfers of all skills levels and more options for club fitters. Available in the traditional VENTUS launch/color profiles (Red as the high, Blue as mid and black as low launch) players and fitters are accustomed to, golfers can confidently select their ideal profile to optimize their swing and achieve their goals.
“Hybrids and utility irons are a critical part of every golfer’s bag, and VENTUS HB was designed with this in mind,” said Chad Embrey, Global Sales Manager. “With the introduction of VeloCore+ and our innovative 3-profile system, VENTUS HB brings the trusted performance of the VENTUS product line into a new category.”
