A return to golf’s timeless tradition

Golf has always been more than a game. It is a ritual passed from one generation to the next, built on patience, respect, and style that once seemed as enduring as the fairways themselves. But over time, something was lost. The sport became crowded with synthetic polos and mass-produced apparel that looked and felt disposable. The elegance faded, and the traditions that gave golf its quiet gravitas were pushed aside.

For Mac, the founder of Gresham Reed, this decline was hard to ignore. He had grown up watching his grandfather - always immaculate, always considered. A man who believed in the simple power of crisp cotton shirts and sweaters that held their shape season after season. His style wasn’t loud or fleeting; it was steady, rooted in the belief that quality was never something to compromise. That example stayed with Mac, shaping not only the way he dressed, but the way he saw the game itself.

Years later, standing on fairways lined with polyester blends and throwaway trends, Mac realized he wanted something better - something that honored the game the way his grandfather once had. He wasn’t looking to reinvent golfwear so much as restore it: to bring back the natural fabrics, the structure, the attention to detail that gave a shirt or a sweater its quiet authority.

When the time came to give that vision a name, Mac didn’t have to look far. He chose the names of his two daughters - Gresham and Reed - not only as a personal tribute, but as a declaration of what the brand would stand for. Family. Legacy. The values worth carrying forward.

Honoring heritage, creating with purpose

Every Gresham Reed piece begins with a respect for tradition. Inspired by the enduring spirit of Scotland - the birthplace of golf - the brand pays tribute to classic style while bringing a modern sense of ease into every design. Nothing is done by accident. From structured collars with sewn-in stays to pre-washed fabrics that won’t shrink, every detail is purposeful, designed to feel right season after season.

This is golfwear rooted in heritage but refined for today’s game: pieces that feel just as natural on the fairway as they do in the clubhouse or at a casual dinner. True elegance doesn’t shout. Instead, it speaks in subtle sophistication - refined, understated, and confident.

Quality without compromise

At the heart of Gresham Reed is a belief that great golfwear should last. That’s why the brand uses only the finest natural fabrics. In a market flooded with synthetics, premium cotton offers breathability, comfort, and an authentic feel that elevates both performance and style. From fabric selection to the final stitch, no corners are cut. The result is apparel that players can trust to hold its shape, its comfort, and its character over time.

Legacy in every stitch

More than anything, Gresham Reed is about legacy. It is about honoring the traditions of golf, carrying forward the timeless style that once defined it, and passing down the values that matter most. The brand was named after Mac's daughters to ensure that family remains at the heart of everything it does.

Every piece is created to last beyond seasons or trends - to be worn, remembered, and relied upon. Golfwear that moves effortlessly through life: from the course to the clubhouse, dinner, and home. Clothing designed to make every transition seamless, so you can arrive ready to enjoy the moments that matter most.

Raising the standard

In the end, Gresham Reed is not simply about clothes - it’s about restoring something golf has been missing. It’s about raising the standard again, choosing quality over quantity, timeless style over trends, and legacy over fads.

This is golfwear made for those who value the game as much as the people they share it with. A brand that blends heritage, purpose, and quality to create something worth keeping. Something that, like golf itself, will stand the test of time.
