Q’AJA

GOLF, TAILORED.

British tailoring · distinctive detail

Born in tailoring. Made for golf. Q’aja returns with the same belief that started it: what you play in should be considered as carefully as how you play.

The proposition
Golf clothing became sportswear.
We came from somewhere else.

Q’aja came from tailoring—from understanding how cloth falls, how a collar sits, how a trouser breaks and how a garment moves with the person wearing it. The idea was never to dress golf like the gym. It was to bring the discipline of a tailor to the game.

The House Mark
Q’AJA
Q’AJA · GOLF, TAILORED.

British by detail.
Not by decoration.

Tony’s Union Jack Q becomes a house signature for the next chapter: the same recognisable Q, refined as an emblem that can live on a cap, a chest, a buckle or a label.

The Union Jack is discovered, not displayed.
The Man Behind the Q

Tony Q’aja.

A tailor first. Golf came later.

Tony Q’aja approached golf clothing differently because he came to the game as a tailor. Where others saw sportswear, Tony saw cut, proportion and cloth: how a trouser should fall over a golf shoe, how a collar should sit, how a waistband should fit, and how a golfer should move without sacrificing the line of a garment.

Those ideas became Q’aja. His clothes appeared on Tour and the brand built its reputation around individuality, fit and details conceived specifically for golf.

FEBRUARY 2024

Tony passed away.

Q’aja lost its founder, its designer and its great character. The brand reached a crossroads: end the story there, or continue what Tony started.

We chose the second.
A Name That Lives On

The mark he left.

For Tony’s children, Q’aja is more than a brand name. It is their father’s name, his life’s work and part of the legacy he left behind.

Each of Tony’s children carries a Q’aja tattoo in honour of their father — a permanent and deeply personal connection to the mark he created.

They are part of the story of Q’aja’s return. Their involvement in the business will be determined by what feels right for them and for the future of the brand. But Tony’s legacy — and the responsibility to treat it properly — is integral to what comes next.

TONY’S FAMILY · HIS MARK · THE NEXT CHAPTER

The next Q’aja is not an attempt to replace Tony. It is built around what he left behind: his ideas, his archive, his standards and his belief that golf clothing should look every bit as considered as it performs.

“Tony called it an evolution. We’re continuing it.”

Perfect Fit

Measure first.
Design second.

The archive did not sell fit as an abstract idea. It showed the work: cloth on the table, tape in hand, and garments built around proportion. That discipline is the bridge between Tony’s tailoring background and the next Q’aja collection.

Q’aja Design Codes

Details with a reason.

Tony later listed the details he brought into Q’aja golf clothing. They form a useful design language for the next generation of the brand—not museum pieces, but starting points.

01

The V-Slit

Created to let a tailored trouser fall properly over a golf shoe. A small intervention that became widely seen in golf.

02

The Tailored Collar

A polo collar treated as tailoring rather than an afterthought—including Q’aja’s interchangeable-collar idea.

03

The Adjustable Waist

Fit changes. Q’aja’s ready-to-wear trouser used an adjustable waistband to tune the garment to the wearer.

04

The Golf Pockets

Marker pocket, scorecard flap pocket and open glove pocket: details developed around how golfers actually play.

05

The Shallow Armhole

Cut with the golf swing in mind, allowing movement without surrendering the silhouette.

06

Natural Performance

Cool wool, merino and considered blends: performance chosen through cloth as well as technology.

07

Bespoke Polo

Collar, body, colour, stitching and piping could be selected—a tailored proposition before online customisation became commonplace.

08

Character

Colour and personality without costume. Sophisticated style was Tony’s own description of the Q’aja ethos.

Signature / 01
V

The V-Slit.

A small cut with a tailoring purpose. Q’aja’s own retail material records a “stylized slit on the front hem” as one of four Features & Innovation details. Earlier accounts record Tony describing the creation of the V-slits at the hem and their use on Darren Clarke’s trousers.

Signature / 02

The Collar.

Not one shirt. More than one expression.

The Q’aja retail archive called the Milano Polo a unique collection with interchangeable collars and described three collar styles in one shirt. The collar was treated as a changeable design element rather than a fixed afterthought.

A New House Code

The British Inside.

The flag should be discovered, not shouted.

The next Q’aja takes inspiration from Tony’s Union Jack Q and moves the idea inside the garment: under a collar, behind a placket, within a waistband or beneath a cap peak. From the outside, restraint. Up close, unmistakably British.

“Q’aja on the outside.
Britain on the inside.”

The Milano archive already made the collar a changeable Q’aja design element. This develops that idea into a modern house signature rather than inventing a disconnected motif.

The Luxury Is In The Detail
Nothing added without a reason.
The Q

One silhouette across monochrome and British heritage treatments.

The Collar

Structure, interchangeability and a hidden house signature.

The V-Slit

A tailoring solution retained because it still has a job to do.

The Finish

Labels, stitching, hardware and cloth considered at close range.

The Archive

Worn, not invented.

Original imagery retained from the Q’aja archive. The people are part of the brand’s history; this is a record, not a claim of current endorsement.

The Return

Not a reissue.
A continuation.

Take the codes that made Q’aja distinctive and make them relevant again.

01 · FLAGSHIP

The Q Polo

A proper collar. A considered body. Performance without looking like sportswear. Clean outside; a discreet British-inside treatment beneath the collar.

02

The Tour Trouser

Tailored line, adjustable waist and the Q’aja V-slit—reinterpreted for the modern game.

03

The Links Knit

Fine-gauge merino and natural performance, built around Q’aja’s long relationship with wool.

04

The Club Jacket

Course to clubhouse without changing character. Tailoring belongs in the collection.

05

The Q Cap

Quiet branding. Good proportion. One of the simplest ways into the house.

06

Q’aja Bespoke

The halo: personal fit, cloth and detail. A modern return to the service that built the reputation.

Friends of Q’aja

A good idea deserves another round.

Tony discussed Friends of Q’aja in 2009: access to bespoke products, limited editions and fitting advice. The next version should be a genuine house membership—early access, private fittings, archive releases, golf days and pieces made only for Friends.

The Next Chapter
Tony started the story.
Now Q’aja carries it forward.

Not a museum piece. Not a replica of what came before. A living golf house built from the standards, details and character Tony established—and designed for what comes next.
