You will look great around the club wearing Paddy's gear.

Could be a good selection for something looking for gear, that's not quite heatons or not even close to Galvin Green. People like me in other words.

I actually thought this was a piss take

goes to show you how the mighty have fallen!

And if you make sure to 3 putt a few times a round there'll be no telling whether it's actually Padraig himself playing!!!

Harrington is a legend! What the fcuk did you ever win?

Fair play, who says golf gear has to be uber expensive.

This is along the same lines as what Adam Scott wears, http://www.uniqlo.com/uk/

That clobber is really affordable and no one give him guff about it.

Not bad looking gear. Sure why shouldn't Padraig get involved like this with an Irish company? More luck to him.

Sean Quagmire · 29-05-2014 01:26PM

looks good, will keep any eye out for this line. in the market for a nice pair of trousers for the summer. Sportsdirect is grand but the fit can be a bit off

Westwood has been wearing Dunlop for years.

Roy Keane wore Diableedindoras so what does it matter if paddy is wearing St Bernard.

Legend

Aligning with somethig like this is a genius idea, just ask George Foreman.

Probably happy to have found the bloody ball for once!

I think fair play.

I've bought a load of Uniqlo stuff and I love it, their pants are brilliant

pistol_75 · 29-05-2014 01:58PM

Is his deal with Kartel gone then? I know they seem to be throwing themselves behind GMac nowadays

I'm with you on this one. He really is a hungry bollox. He'd milk any cow that came to hand. I remember last year he was advertising the swing vest, or something like that. It was excruciating watching the ads, and I've never seen anyone using one. No-one would dare.

Has to be a wind up?

A massive % of tour players past and present have their own off course business interests with a lot of them having clothing brands. Many major winners.

Good luck to them

Keano · 29-05-2014 03:16PM

Ok so it's not a huge brand but people seem to forget Dunnes have an annual turnover of €3 billion....

Padraig uses it and he looks happy. That's good enough for me.

Padraig's line at Dunnes isnt exactly cheap though ,30 euro for a polo ,40 euro for shorts,60 euro for trousers .
You'd get far better gear shopping around .

Smallish, I'm usually a medium but their large suits me perfectly

Benicetomonty · 29-05-2014 05:35PM

Outside of Harro die harders, I wouldnt see this as a dunnes master stroke. Even forgetting his recent form and the resultant lack of exposure, Padraig has never (nor has he ever claimed to be) a style icon of the fairways.

Kartel are on to a winner with McDowell who always looks the part, but Padraig not so much. Clashes everywhere and even his hat never seemed to be on him properly. Not that he gives a toss, but Dunnes should, even with his brilliant career to help sales.

Scott's gear might be affordable but he's very coordinated with it. You may not like Poulter's style, but he certainly has it! Luke Donald is another man who could sell clothes imo, always looks very sharp.

The gear looks decent in fairness but I hope Dunnes have a dresser signed up as well..,

Aaargh! That's it. It's like a straitjacket. I bet it was offered to anyone and everyone before it got to him

I think Chris Doak might be in the market for one judging by twitter unless I got the wrong end of the stick.

+1 bought 3 Dunlop pants €3:50 each all the same size on the label but about 3inch variation. Can't complain though the price was great.

€35 for a t shirt and €60 for trousers is a strange decision as it brings the clothing range into direct competition with the other major brands like Nike, ping, Adidas etc. The quality is not as good as the main brands either, therefore the only people buying this range will be people in love with padraig Harrington or those looking for the irishness in their golf clothes. If they dropped the price about 30-40% and entered the cheaper section of the market then I'd consider it but as it stands there is far superior clothes elsewhere for the same price.

Seve OB · 06-06-2014 01:43PM

the missus spotted the gear in "Yves Sáint Berrnaard" yesterday and reckoned it all looked like stuff made for her old man.... he is nearly 80!

There's no way I'm paying 60 quid for a pair of trousers from Dunnes.
And I've nothing against Dunnes/Penny's etc. I've worn trousers purchased from there before for golf.... Paid about 45 quid less for them....I'll write Paddys name on them with the sparky if they get another round out.

The t-shirts look incredibly plain.
