Goodbye khakis, Hello Loudmouth

I was talking to a lifelong golfing buddy recently and he admitted that his long-term addiction to premium golf shirts was still in full force. They're perfect for work, parties, church and anywhere that business casual attire is deemed appropriate.

He even admitted that the deepest reaches of his closet still harbor a few shirts from those wicked golf crony trips we did in the mid 90s. Even his wife has attempted to nudge those ancients out. He contends that when you buy the finest, they last forever! So true... but what about style? Is golf style so stoic that there's no room for freshness?

Enter Loudmouth Golf. With a slogan that reads "Loudmouth puts the fun back in golf", they're sure to get some attention. And if it's attention you want, I recommend you test drive a pair of their pants. My preference leans toward the Disco Balls myself, but several of those not-so-subtle patterns caught my eye. It gives a whole new perspective to the old adage, Go big or go home. Maybe Go LOUD or go home is a bit more fitting in this case.

What a great way to infuse a fresh look into your weekend golf apparel collection. Perhaps my diehard buddy could pair up a few of those oldies-but-goodies with a pair of Loudmouth A-Tisket-A-Tasket Argyles. I'm fairly sure his vintage golf shirt will go unnoticed.

I've got a cobalt blue Adidas ClimaLite shirt that might work with a pair of these babies. I just can't decide which way to go. I could use a suggestion from you!

Ah yes, the true confessions of a golf shirt junkie. In the end, it's all about the materials and craftsmanship of the piece - that's why some of the classic shirts from days gone by still look good (Marbus from Italy is my favorite). The latest shirts with magic weave for cooling the body are awesome as well. With that said, let's be very careful when considering the LOUDMOUTH versions of golf fashion. What would the golfing Gods say? Have you no shame?

The new brighter colors are nice and easy to mix in with your traditional khakis and dark slacks. Going with orange pants is just taking things too far don't you think?
Marbas golf shirts ...Wow! Your taste in golf apparel remains impeccable, golfspinner! And at that price-point they should last a lifetime.

But is there no room for funk? Loudmouth seems to be focused on a more frivolous approach to to game. A bit more of the Ian Poulter and a little less Colin Montgomery.

Oh, and don't forget that slim Euro fit with a matching white belt! It's all the rage!
whoa baby noise, you've out done your self. while I believe that golf apparel has become drab (black, black and gray) just look at phil! loud mouth could be making a giant step and falling into a very large divot!! it screams of rodney !! don't get me wrong I'm a pink shirt guy and madras shorts, but time out on introducing a bowling outfit on the links.

Tell me what you really think, Spivie! What about "To each his own." Shouldn't each of us be free to make his or her own style statement?

But then I suppose that's why the company's name is LOUDMOUTH! For what it's worth I predict we'll be seeing more of this type of fashion in the near future. Let the saints be damned!

Okay, I'm considering getting my husband a pair of Loudmouth shorts, but what am I going to wear to compliment his new outfit? Any suggestions? (My husband would puke if he knew I even gave thought to the idea of having complimenting outfits) Oh well, the secret lives of women! For years ladies golf wear has looked very masculine, I need something stylish because my golf game...well, needs help. Maybe you could offer some golf tips for me. I know I slow him down, I take at least two (okay, more like three) swings to his one. Anyway, I really like spending time with my husband on the course!
Awful. They are all awful.
Sounds like you need a fresh outfit and a lesson too, wifofgolfer. Perhaps you should pop over to Golf Girl's Diary. She's a bit of a golf fashion diva and may have some posts that will provide some fresh apparel ideas.

As for moving the ball along with your husband, I would recommend contacting your local golf pro for a few new swing thoughts. Then practice, practice and practice some more!

And, by all means, forge ahead on buying those LOUDMOUTH shorts for your dude. Everybody ought to make a bit more golfnoise if they're able.

Yo Socal... I never thought a progressive "southern californian" would so quickly diss something so unusual and different! But once again I'm reminded, To each his own! Ain't it the truth!

While the most of the Loudmouth stuff is more than a bit, well...loud for my personal tastes, I'm a big fan of the belts.

Noisemaker, as you know, I saw a picture of John Daly wearing these on Yahoo Sports and I have to say--I think they're awesome! Why be so serious? After all, it's only a GAME. ;)
My sentiment exactly, Secret Leaves. Lighten up and have some fun with it!
