Knitedge RBC Heritage Tournament Plaid Jacket

A Symbol of Golfing Tradition and Southern Elegance

The RBC Heritage Tournament Plaid Jacket is perhaps the most recognizable symbol in professional golf outside of the Masters’ Green Jacket. Awarded to the winner of the RBC Heritage held at Harbour Town Golf Links, this distinctive tartan blazer represents the rich history of the tournament and the unique Lowcountry tradition of the event. At knitedge we identify this as a pinnacle piece for any sports-heritage enthusiast—a garment that balances deep-rooted tradition with the sophisticated, timeless style associated with professional golf.

The visual identity of this Heritage Tournament Official Tartan Blazer is defined by its custom, tournament-exclusive tartan pattern. Unlike standard off-the-rack blazers, this jacket utilizes a specific, intricate colorway that pays homage to the local heritage of Hilton Head Island and the legacy of the tournament. knitedge highlights the garment’s classic, structured tailoring—featuring a timeless notch lapel, clean-lined pocket placement, and a fit that exudes professional elegance. It is an ideal garment for those who value the “prestige” aesthetic of traditional golfing attire, serving as a wearable piece of sports history that commands respect both on and off the course.

Engineered for the refined sportsman, this RBC Heritage Tartan Sports Jacket is crafted from high-quality wool blends that offer both durability and a comfortable, structured drape. knitedge emphasizes the functional craftsmanship of the piece: the precise shoulder construction that maintains a sharp profile, the soft, breathable lining that ensures comfort during the warm Carolina spring, and the high-durability buttons that anchor the classic look.
