Magrath Sportswear

Brand that specializes in golf products. It belongs to Nautica, the company founded in 1983 by David Chu, later renamed Nautica Enterprises Inc. after it was acquired by State-o-Maine. E. Magrath Apparel Company produces two collections, one under its own name, the other called Byron Nelson: sweaters, shirts, pants, shorts, jackets. After the closure of the German branch, Nautica Europe, during the second half of 2004, it no longer has a European headquarters. As part of this strategy to reduce financial investments and to increase diffusion throughout Europe, the European section — that made up no more than 2% of annual sales — was to be run entirely by Nautica Apparel in New York.
