IJP Design Black Watch Sweater

I’ve been enjoying the first few days wearing this new IJP Design (Ian James Poulter) Black Watch Golf Sweater.  It has been very cold here in northern Utah and this sweater has been doing a fantastic job keeping me warm, stylish and comfortable off the course.

As soon as the snow melts I’ll put this brilliant looking sweater into actual play and post a full review.  Until then, here are some specs.

• Made from soft luxurious premium quality blend
• Durable textured chunky knit with shawl collar
• Traditional leather buttons
• Embroidered Quintessentially British crest logo
• Fabric 60% Cotton 20% extra fine merino wool 20% nylon
• Machine washable – Do not tumble dry

Wardrobe upgrade alert: I’m happy to report that I’ll be reviewing some apparel items from Ian James Poulter (IJP) Design.  First on the list is this pair of golf pants (trousers for those of you in the U.K.).  These are the Tour Tech model.

I just tried these fine looking trousers on and was very happy to find that they’re quite adjustable via buttons and velcro on the sides.  This means the fit can be adjusted perfectly for the golfer, especially ones with waists which don’t seem to align with the standard sizes found on many brands, like me.  The fit is great and the fabric feels nice as well.

Hopefully the snow will melt soon and I can get to testing these beauties.  I also have a couple of other IJP Design items to go with these and I’ll be posting those soon.  Stay tuned.
