Johnnie-O blends California surf culture with classic golf and casual apparel, known for polos, pullovers, and relaxed everyday clothing.
West Coast Prep
In 2005, John O’Donnell set out to build something simple — great-fitting golf shirts made the right way. After two decades in the corporate world, the former UCLA golfer and Chicago native took a leap, starting with four buttons, a pocket, and inventory in the trunk of his car.
What began as a small idea has grown into a full line of men’s apparel — a brand known for premium quality, effortless style, and never taking itself too seriously.
Where Surf Meets the Fairway
Johnnie-O started in Southern California with a simple idea: combine the relaxed, laid-back feel of West Coast surf culture with the clean look of classic golf apparel. The result is high-quality clothing that feels casual but still looks put together.
The brand is especially known for its polos, quarter-zips, and lightweight layers. Many pieces feature soft performance fabrics that keep you comfortable in warm weather, making them popular for golf, travel, and everyday wear.
It’s the small design details that help set Johnnie-O apart. The brand’s surfer logo reflects its coastal roots, while the clothing often mixes traditional colors with relaxed fits and modern materials.
Here at Smith & Davis in Fayetteville, GA, you’ll find Johnnie-O apparel in the clothing section alongside our other casual and performance brands.
