GM verdict
One of the most comprehensive apparel collections launched to date, FJ’s AW15 line blends style, performance and quality in equal measure. Arguably the one area that could have improved was outerwear, but this has been addressed thanks to the StaDry collar, now shaped perfectly at the front and rear to prevent water from entering and reduce unwanted distractions during the swing.
Many will enjoy the Performance Wind Shell, which offers a superb fit and excellent protection in both wind and light showers, while the ProDry base layer is both soft and stretchy. FJ’s polo shirt variety continues to grow, with designs spanning every colour, pattern and detail to complete any outfit.
As well as new styles of outerwear, FJ’s AW15 collection features a wide selection of polo shirts, pullovers and lambswool and merino sweaters.
