European golf apparel label Hendrikx has officially debuted its inaugural collection, introducing the Italian-crafted Merino Wool Half-Zip and Cotton Piqué Polo. Founded in 2025 by Jan Hendrikx alongside his partner Karolina, the brand draws upon a family heritage immersed in golf since the 1940s, setting out to infuse the sport with authentic European craftsmanship and timeless, fashion-first design intended for everyday life beyond the green.

Following months of extensive textile sourcing and sampling, the founders partnered with a select group of family-run workshops across Italy committed to premium natural fibers. Emphasizing complete production transparency, every garment is manufactured end to end in Italy, extending down to the localized sourcing of the labels and hangtags. Shot on location at Château d’Augerville, a historic castle located south of Paris, the inaugural campaign highlights an ethos centered on warmth, openness, and uncompromising construction across two debut silhouettes presented in two colorways each.

The half-zip sweater is spun from 19.5-micron extra-fine merino wool, featuring a custom eco-leather zip puller and the label’s submark embroidered on the left hip. The short-sleeve polo is cut from 178 gsm Italian cotton piqué, finished with structured collars and cuffs knitted from extra-long staple (ELS) Giza cotton. Elevated detailing on the polo includes subtle body-colored submark embroidery and custom six-hole corozo (tagua nut) buttons, individually sewn on by hand with thread forming a distinctive sideways ‘H’. Both garments are crafted from 100% natural fibers and are fully machine washable.
