Jaybananapantsarthur all good just want people to understand that ZB and Co. aren't charging a premium on much, if anything at all. It’s actually extremely consistent with retail pricing
dphatt premium cotton ain’t cheap bud. Their new sport line is light years ahead of RLX and PM. And this is coming from a guy who has a closet full of PM
TB3GOLF I have friends who make items for some of these companies. The cost of materials are pretty cheap.
dphatt cost of the shirts to courses is around $37-55 depending on the company. Gotta make money somehow. If you really want to make money, buy a golf ball manufacturing plant
I was talking to some guys that dabble in the apparel space a bit and they were asking about TBC. My answer was consistent with the above. Too many drops, too many items and loss of uniqueness/exclusivity. I don't mean that to sound elitist, but I personally like shit that looks cool and not everyone has. I got a couple gloves in the last release because I love Asher gloves and I needed some backup. Passed on all the rest. TBC has gotten to Cameron level for me......if something doesn't blow me away, I'll likely be passing.
I still keep an eye on the TBC stuff and have bought a lot and will likely acquire more in the future but it's kind of run it's course for me. As of late I feel like a lot of the designs have been tacky and underwhelming. I'm a fan overall of TBC and ZB but I'm a little over it.
Judge440 pretty much exactly how I feel.
I have to really love it to buy it these days. And, some of it probably has to do with me getting more interested in other brands.
I'm definitely more selective on what I buy since I still love the OG stuff from a few years ago. I'm still high on TBC and when they have a can't miss release like the Top Gun, Cactus Jack. Masters, Shark Week, and so many other creative ideas but its no surprise that I drink the Kool-Aid.
Top Gun covers shipping out this week sounds like.
Appears they went with Cabron Fiber in the production run, vs a different material in the limited edition set owned by LaLa??
1st pic is OG, 2nd pics are production.
ForeLeft Funny enough the reason I passed on ordering any was partially because of the materials. I prefer the carbon/tech materials so if I had known I probably would've ordered a couple. Oh well! They turned out great and overall it's an awesome concept 🙂
I bought the Mallet Jester. I need to trade for a Blade Jester. Odds of that happening, never. 😂😂😂

Just got shipping notification on the Top Gun joint 💪🔥
New kit. I like it. Black towel is a nice change of pace for me and the suede headcover isn’t bad. I had the fortune cookie one and thought it was nice.
ckay that headcover is alot better than what I was expecting honestly.
Had no idea they started shipping.
Jaybananapantsarthur I don’t know when they ship just happened to find the pic on WRX.
definitely won't be re-upping after seeing the kit. saves me a few bucks to spend elsewhere.
