TRANSCRIPTS

-All right, so I'm here with Chris and Travis. They're the mast...

-All right, so I'm here with Chris and Travis. They're the masterminds behind Travis Mathew launching. And, you haven't noticed this logo recently. I don't know where it's been because it's been all over the place. They began on the West Coast. But now, you guys really kind infiltrated the entire country. I feel like you're everywhere these days. -I'm glad to hear that. It means we're doing something right. -Yeah, definitely. I love your style. Where is kind of the-- you know, that inspiration for the Travis Mathew line for you, Chris? -It just really trying to share some of California lifestyle and culture. I was a golf pro for 13 years in Huntington Beach and-- -Yes. -you know, we just wanted to create something that you could wear on and off the course and not feel like a total golfer all the time, so. -A couple of your players-- I know you have for the-- a stuff of guys out on tour representing the brand including Bubba Watson and John Mallinger. How do you go about picking the guys that really represent you? -Well, we kind of fell into John. He was forced to do it because he was our friend. So, he was the first one to wear it on tour with Tommy Armour. And, Bubba actually coincidentally in [unk]. His agent came to us. She was on a club pro in Arizona. One of the guys at the club pro had her shirt on and she liked it and-- -I like that. -it's a wrap. -It looks so good. -We're pretty close to her. -[unk]. -Yeah, so she contacted us and then we have this [unk] together. -Chris, tell me a little bit about the line that's like right now available in your local store. -Correct. -What kind of the spring line here. I love the colors, pastels. -Yeah, they're-- the line was originally started with a lot of blacks and whites and grays. And as it's grown, we start to incorporate a little bit of colors of the spring. It's natural to do some color. This is our delivery one that starts for spring which was in stores now. We have ordered a lot of pink. Obviously, that's Bubba influence. -Yes. -Bubba is a pink guy. So, that is-- -Where he's gone all pink at this? -He is for the Masters. He's gone pink all four days. -Uh-huh. -Same outfit all four days. Different outfits for all four majors. Then, we turn in this. We knew [unk] something of blues along with the blacks, whites and grays. The important thing is we always have blacks, whites and grays as our fell engagement for the line and then we incorporate some color around it. We bring in some purple for the second delivery. And then, right over here is we just bring in a little bit of lead-- red with your blues as well. -So, that's a very nice look. I love it. The laid-back kind of stuff and the-the fabric here-- -So, these-- -this is also a little different fabrics than your regular fabrics. -Yeah, this right here is a 6040 cottonpoly blend. So, it gives you all the performance characteristics of your traditional like, you know, what they call tech fabrics. But, it looks more like you're off the course casual-- that's more of type of a lifestyle wear. -Great ones. Now, I like the little accent from these like the buttons and the pockets. -Exactly. -[unk]. -Thank you. -Well, thanks so much guys. A lot of fun over here at the Travis Mathew booth.
