About Turtleson
Thirteen years ago, Greg Oakley and Chet Sikorski began a quest to create the perfect golf shirt.
They were fed up with the boxy, heavy polos that ruled the pro shops and men’s stores at the time. In a world of rumpled fabric and limp collars, they were hungry for a shirt that would look just as good with a blazer at dinner as it would standing over a six-footer for double bogey.
Pioneering the use of performance fabrics in luxury golf apparel, Greg and Chet rolled through hundreds of samples and prototypes until they landed on a polo that captured the fit, feel, and look they envisioned.
Those early polos caught on in a big way, and soon Turtleson was riding a wave of demand for classic menswear pieces infused with thoughtful details – a hint of stretch here, a vibrant color palette there - that grew into a full line of polos, sport shirts, sweaters, layers, outerwear, and bottoms.
These days, Turtleson is known around the world for creating classic sportswear with a modern twist – pieces that set the bar for quality, style, and versatility.
