The super-fine fabric used for the iconic jacket is woven by Huddersfield (New Mill)-based textile firm Bower Roebuck, dyed by Holmfirth-based commission dyeing firm DP Dyers and finished by Moldgreen-based WT Johnson & Sons. Once the cloth is ready, Bower Roebuck sends it to Savile Row bespoke tailor Henry Poole & Co for dispatch to the Augusta National Golf Club, which hosts the tournament. The cloth is stocked and closely controlled by the club - even photographing the fabric is off-limits - but once they need a new jacket, it goes back to Henry Poole to be made up. Who is right then?
Let me know in the comments if you know any other cool green jacket facts!!! *The ‘Tiger Slam Clubs’ sold for 5.1 million about a month after uploading this. Making Horton Smith’s jacket 2nd most expensive now
I notice an interesting variation in the Jacket around 1955 with White buttons! Byron Nelson and Ben Hogan are wearing them at the time Dr. Middlecoff won. Wish someone would write a book on just the Jacket's history that would detail the changes through the years.......
When a new champions wins he is awarded a members jacket similar to his size then his jacket starts to form also Billy Casper seems to be the only deceased champion buried with his jacket
Two possible corrections here: 1) The concept of the green jacket is also rumored to have started when Roberts was frustrated that Augusta members were trying to outdress each other at club events and decided to standardized the members to keep them from one uping each other with flashy clothes. 2) The most expensive golf memorabilia is now Tiger's "Tiger Slam Clubs" which recently sold at auction for $5.2M last week.
Ohh I hadn’t heard that but I could definitely see that as plausible reason. Yeahhhh the clubs sold like a month after I uploaded this and I can’t fix it without taking it down. Just my luck. :(
@@ShawnyBGolf It was just a rumor regarding the jacket but it definitely seemed plausible as you said. I saw the post date so I figured the clubs would not have been mentioned. Nice vid and keep posting. I am subscribing!
@@etommy13 totally agree, truthfully I think it was probably a number of different factors that lead to it and wouldn’t doubt that could be one of them. Yeah as soon as I saw that last week I was just like ‘well my video is already outdated great’ hahaha. Thank you so much for the kind words and subscribing really does mean a lot to me!!!
This is some cool information... can I suggest/request you slow down your speech? the pronunciation of a lot of the words is not clear and not in keeping with your information...
