Introduction
Originally established in 2016, Flag & Anthem was started by two industry experts that have been designing clothing for over 20 years. Their mantra is to offer quality clothing that is both durable and affordable. I got a few golf pieces to put these claims to the test both on and off the course.
Style
The first thing I noticed about Flag & Anthem’s style is that they don’t try to do too much. Their focus is more on producing high quality goods that will last rather than obnoxious or neon styles. I found this refreshing especially in a space that has become quite crowded.
For golf polos, there is a good variety of color block and stripes like the Wilmington or Naples polos featured in this review. The understated colors made it easy to style with almost anything including Flag & Anthem’s Madeflex Performance puffer vest.
For those of us who aren’t fashion experts, this entire line is foolproof to ensure you look good on the course. I ordered a few different varieties of pants and shorts, but they all followed the core colors of navy, khaki, grey, and black. Made of 100% polyester, the shorts can be styled with almost anything and you don’t even need to golf to use these everyday.
Fit
For the polos, I found the fit to be exactly what a dad of two kids in his mid thirties needs. It wasn’t too tight in any particular areas but had a flattering shape versus a generic box. The sizing for each shirt was what I expected.
For reference, I am normally a medium or large in most shirts and polos but small in an oversized brand like FJ or Peter Millar. I ordered mediums from Flag & Anthem, and everything fit perfectly.
The shorts and pants are offered in both even and odd size numbers which I love as it’s rarer to find in men’s waist sizes even for non golf attire. Sizing was spot on but the added flex around the waist band can make multiple sizes feel custom.
In addition to the shorts, The Pivot Performance pants are also majority polyester but with a 10% spandex combination providing a bit more stretch. These are a straight fit without any bagginess to them, so they will suit a variety of styles and looks both on and off the course.
If there was anything lacking here, it would be the limited options for inseam length on shorts. While the only option was an eight inch inseam, this length likely fits the widest array of players and preferences. If I had the choice, I would’ve gone with a seven inseam but that is just personal preference.
Performance
Considering all the many performance brands selling stretchy polos today, it’s hard to tell a lot of them apart. When it comes to performance, it’s all in the details.
For Flag & Anthem, they designed their own Madeflex performance combination for their polos which are 89% polyester and 11% spandex. I found this material to be very breathable for those hot days with enough stretch to not interfere with any type of swing.
The moisture wicking material came in particularly handy when I walked 18 on a hot October afternoon. I noticed when I finished, I had zero sweat stains anywhere. Two days later, it was cool enough to don the Performance Puffer Vest which provided the extra warmth I needed but still had a spandex liner that ran down the sides to reduce any impediment during a full swing.
On the course, the pants were lighter than expected and very breathable to the point that they are best used for cooler summer days or shoulder season rounds. Anything colder and you will likely want a heavier style.
My favorite feature of the pants, which was also present in the shorts, was the netted pocket liner. I can’t tell you how much sand and dirt has ends up in my golf pockets from tees and divot tools used in a round. This liner filtered much of that out.
The polos and shorts come in at quite a value at $59 each while the pants are $79. Outerwear is priced in the $69 to $99 range.
Conclusion
Flag & Anthem generates high quality golf performance apparel at reasonable prices. The variety of style and attention to detail makes this the value apparel brand of the year.
