Galvin Green is a golf clothing brand based in Växjö, Sweden. The company was established in 1990 by entrepreneur Tomas Nilsson.[4] Galvin Green designs and sells multi-layer garments for the game of golf, sold via golf retail stores, on-course shops and authorized online retailers.[5]
In the early 1990s, the majority of golfers wore dark-colored, ill-fitting rain suits that became extremely heavy when it rained and stayed in their golf bag until the next downpour.[4] By 1995, Galvin Green had launched a full range of waterproofs in bright colors that incorporated a high level of detail never seen before in golf apparel.[4] A series of 'firsts' then followed in quick succession – half-zip rain jackets, zip fly trousers, jackets without front pockets, adjustable chest tabs, cuffs with rain channels, stretch fabric with various color options.[4]
Galvin Green is now among the world's leading golf apparel brands and dominates the rainwear sector in the UK & Ireland.[6] The company entered the U.S. market for the first time in 2013.[7]
