Fabric Philosophy

MANORS work with some of the most premium and exclusive performance mills in the world, and in some cases we are the only golf brand to stock them. MANORS fabrics are chosen to go the distance.

Seawool®

Seawool® is one of the more unusual fabrics in our range, spun from recycled oyster shells and plastic bottles. The shell content gives it natural odour control and temperature regulation, so it stays fresh round after round and needs washing far less often. Soft to the touch with 4-way stretch and UV 50+ protection, it wicks moisture on warm days and holds its shape. We build our summer polos on it, including the Tour Polo and Arc Polo, because it handles the heat, carries real sustainability credentials and gives nothing away on comfort.

Pertex®

Pertex has been weaving high-performance fabrics for the outdoors since 1979, and it remains one of the most sought-after names in the field. We use Japan-made Pertex® Shield Pro, a microporous membrane with a 30,000mm waterproof rating that sheds rain while still letting sweat vapour escape, so you stay dry inside and out. At 90gsm it is light enough to pack into its own pocket and clip to your bag, then pull on the moment a British sky turns. It blocks wind too, which matters on an exposed links.

Drirelease®

Drirelease® blends natural and synthetic fibres to pull sweat off your skin and push it to the surface, where it evaporates faster than most performance fabrics. The clever part is the hand feel. It keeps the soft, dry touch of vintage cotton while doing the work of a technical fabric, and it resists shrinking wash after wash. On a warm round you stay dry without the clammy gym-kit feeling, which is why we use it in the GOAT Pique Polo and Buttersoft Polo.

Merino

Merino is the original performance fabric, worn on the linksland long before anyone thought to engineer a polyester. The wool regulates temperature on its own, warm when the wind bites and cool when the sun breaks through, and its natural antibacterial properties mean it resists odour even after a long day out. The old knock against wool was the itch and the shrinking. We have treated ours so it stays soft and survives the wash, and the 9-gauge knit gives it a heavier, vintage feel. It runs through our Merino Tech crewneck, vest, and windbreaker.

Primeflex™

Primeflex™ is a Toray fabric built around a bi-component yarn that bonds two polymers with different characteristics, which is the reason it can feel like crisp cotton twill while stretching like sportswear. It holds a sharp, structured look, resists wrinkles through a full day, and uses a recycled polyester blend. For golf trousers that means the smart appearance of a proper chino with the give you need to swing in them. It is the fabric behind the Stableford Trouser and the Lightweight Pleated Trouser.

Polartec®

Polartec invented modern fleece and still sets the standard for staying warm without overheating. Their fabrics use gridded knit structures and lofted fibres that trap body heat in pockets of air while letting moisture vapour escape, so you warm up quickly and never boil over on the walk to an elevated tee. Light, breathable, and quick to dry, it layers cleanly under a shell. When the temperature drops on an autumn round, this is the kind of insulation that does the job without the bulk.Cordura®

Cordura® started life as a military fabric, built to survive the tears, scuffs, and abrasion that would wreck ordinary nylon. We use a high-tenacity ripstop version with 4-way stretch, so it shrugs off a bag rub or a wayward shot through the trees while still moving with your swing. A PFC-free water-repellent finish handles light rain, and it cuts the wind chill on cold mornings. It is the backbone of the Crosswind Cordura® Windbreaker, and yes, you will look good wearing it in the pub afterwards.

Comfortemp®

Comfortemp®, engineered by Freudenberg, is the insulation we reach for when the temperature drops but you still need to swing freely. Built from recycled polyester fibres, it traps body heat in a lightweight, lofted structure that warms you without the bulk or weight of traditional padding, and it stays breathable so you never overheat on the walk between holes. It is soft, compressible, and packs down easily, with real sustainability credentials baked in. We use it in the Insulated Course Gilet 2.0, where it pairs with 4-way stretch fabric, a quilted interior, and fleece-lined collar and pockets, and in the 95gsm Insulated Course Gilet, which adds a PFC-free water-resistant finish for cool, breezy conditions.
