Wentworth 2025 Ladies Jacket A Subtle Statement Through Bespoke Tailoring

Some garments speak louder by saying less. The Wentworth Ladies Jacket is one of those pieces – refined, versatile, and endlessly elegant.
At Marc Oliver, every commission begins with a story. Some speak of style, others of legacy. And a select few, like our bespoke jackets for the Wentworth Lady Captains, do both.
Each year, a new Lady Captain is appointed at the prestigious Wentworth Club — a name synonymous with British golfing excellence, heritage, and refined tradition. In recent years, Marc Oliver has had the honour of tailoring bespoke jackets for each of these distinguished women, blending contemporary craftsmanship with classic club style.
Honouring Leadership Through Craftsmanship
Our journey with Wentworth’s Lady Captains began in 2022 with the appointment of Sally Wingrove, followed by June Chase Gardener in 2023, Paula Okell in 2024, and Jane Noble, who will take her place in 2025. Each jacket is individually cut and constructed to represent not only the wearer, but the enduring spirit of the club and the unique role they play in it.

These are garments of pride and presence — designed for women who lead, who represent, and who understand the power of dressing with purpose.
The Fabric of Function and Elegance
The jackets are made from Super 100’s wool, chosen for its soft handle, everyday resilience, and superb tailoring potential. Constructed with a Prunelle weave, the cloth offers structure and drape without rigidity — ideal for days that begin on the green and end with formal dinners.

This blend of refinement and wearability makes the Wentworth collection a study in versatility: lightweight, breathable, and rich in colour. It’s clubwear without compromise.
Statement in Every Detail
Each jacket is finished with a set of custom-cast gold metal Wentworth buttons — ten in total — carrying the club’s iconic “W” insignia. These are not merely fastenings, but statements in themselves: weighty, refined, and uncompromising in quality. Their solid feel and distinctive gleam mirror the values of the club they represent — excellence, tradition, and quiet prestige.
Tailored for a Legacy
Just as each Lady Captain brings her own energy and leadership style to Wentworth, so too does each jacket reflect its wearer. Lapels are shaped to flatter. Silhouettes are refined but not restrictive. And every detail — from lining choice to button placement — is considered in consultation with the individual.

What results is not just a club blazer. It’s a piece of club history, custom-cut for the women who carry that history forward.
From Clubhouse to Heritage
At Marc Oliver, we see tailoring as a way to honour tradition while looking firmly ahead. We are proud to support Wentworth Club and its Lady Captains with garments that speak not just of elegance, but of legacy — stitched, buttoned, and pressed to perfection.
