BOURBON, MO - Imperial Headwear announced today a new collaboration with the famous Coronado Golf Course located in the city of Coronado, California. The new collaboration includes a special limited-edition online collection of Imperial hats and T-shirts inspired by Coronado Island and the history of the course itself.

Opened in 1957, Coronado Golf Course is rich in history, and widely known as a favorite destination for local residents and celebrities alike. The course is located right on the water and boasts incredible views of the harbor and downtown San Diego. It is no surprise Coronado Golf Course is rated as one of the best public golf courses in the nation.
Local legend Brian Smock is the Head Professional at Coronado Golf course. Smock grew up in Coronado and started playing the golf course at age 12. He later turned professional and had an 18-year playing career that took him all over the world. At one point during his playing days Smock was ranked as high as #251 in world rankings. He currently holds nine course records, including seven in San Diego County, and his lowest round ever at Coronado Golf Course shooting a record setting 60.
“I often pinch myself,” said Brian Smock, Head Professional at Coronado Golf Course. “I relish in the fact I get to keep making Coronado Golf Course a special place and add to the history.”
The new Imperial x Coronado Collection reflects that rich history with retro patches featuring the course’s crossed clubs and crown logo. Also, many of the styles in the collection are from Imperial’s DNA Project, which is a collection of styles that honor Imperial’s own storied history. These tried and true designs can be traced in Imperial Headwear catalogs from 1950 onward, which makes them a perfect match for this collaboration.
“Coronado is a very special place and Brian is a close friend of Imperial,” said David Shaffer, Vice President of Sales & Marketing at Imperial. “I am very proud to be developing unique partnerships with customers like Coronado Golf Course, telling their stories, and perhaps most importantly creating new retail opportunities.”
