Simply the Best?

It was great to see Ryuji Imada around the top of the leaderboard at Torrey Pines all week... Rooj has been one of the sharpest dressers on Tour, week in and week out, for several years and, despite a Sunday slip, it appears his game is back in form...

What sets Imada apart, you ask? The man keeps it clean and simple. His trousers fit slimmer than your average pro's, his knits trimmer and he knows how to balance the use of powerful pieces/colors to create a subtle statement. See: If you wear Caribbean blue slacks, make sure the rest of your look is conservative...

Cutter & Buck is clearly making him custom sweaters - or he's wearing someone else and C&B is stamping them - because those things fit like a bag off the rack and Rooj is lookin' crisp out there. Check the photo of him in black - the sleeve is just perfect. I wasn't in love with the ribbing/body mapping on the blue number he was sporting yesterday, but the whole package is damn near perfect. If you're looking for a pro to emulate in terms of dress, look no further than this KC stalwart.

Welcome back, Ryuji!

Like the first photo, Ben Crane was also wearing this fantastic shade of light blue on Sunday. It looks great paired with white or grey trousers, is it the season's new color? -Annmarie Dodd

I thought the same thing about the custom sweaters when I saw him yesterday. Ryuji was the best dressed man on the course. I would wear C&B if they started making trimmer offerings.

I've always been curious what the brand of his pants are. Do you know what they are?

Couldn't agree more, Ryuji is looking sharp and playing real good right now, big fan of his work. I've never been a big Cutter and Buck fan, I have this image of old Ashworth-esq baggy shirt with those g=horrendous huge buttons on but this new collection really good. My brothers a pro, think I'll get him to order in a catalogue!
