AUR – Coffee grounds and bamboo charcoal

Though AUR is only four years old it comes with a nice pedigree being the golf and lifestyle brand from Canada’s largest privately owned golf wear supplier, Fletcher Leisure Group. They are in the forefront using fabrics made from recycled and renewable materials not usually thought of as part of golf lifestyle fashion.
