FootJoy x Harris Tweed collaboration for the 2024 British Open

The most iconic hole at Royal Troon is also its shortest, the eighth hole, which measures just 123 yards. Known as the Postage Stamp, the green is surrounded by five bunkers and plays downhill, and it has been frustrating golfers for over a century.

Using the Postage Stamp hole as inspiration, FootJoy has collaborated with Harris Tweed to create a limited-edition Premiere Field and Premiere Wilcox shoe to celebrate the season’s final men’s major.

This limited-edition collaboration has hand-woven tweed with a ‘basket weave’ pattern that is designed to resemble a postage stamp, and each pair of shoes comes with a special bag made from the same cloth as featured on the footwear.

And so we are clear, this is no ordinary wool or pattern that has been added to the shoes. The Harris Tweed Act states that the fabric must be handwoven in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland, which are islands off the western coast, using truly traditional methods. Harris Tweed is designed to stand up to the elements in Scotland, which any golfer who has played links like Royal Troon, St. Andrews or Carnoustie will tell you, is usually no day at the beach.

Like the standard Field and Wilcox, the FJ x Harris Tweed Premiere Series shoes come with a two-year waterproof warranty and feature the VersaTrax+ outsole that combines nine replaceable cleats with scores of traction elements to keep a golfer’s foot firmly connected to the ground throughout the swing. For added cushioning and comfort, FootJoy designed the Field and Wilcox shoes with a OrthoLite EcoPlush Fit-Bed that molds to your foot while you wear the shoes but retains it shape when you take the shoes off.

The limited-edition FJ x Harris Tweed Premiere Series field shoes are $240 and the FJ x Harris Tweed Premiere Series Wilcox is available for $260 while supplies last on FootJoy.com and select retailers.
