IJP design has announced a host of new brand ambassador signings as the 2013 season gets into full flow.

Joining pre-existing staff players Ian Poulter and Gary Boyd are European Tour players Andreas Harto, Matthew Baldwin and Daniel Brooks, Challenge Tour members James Watt and Jamie 'Jay' Howarth and PGA Tour rookie David Lingmerth.

The IJP ambassadors will start the season wearing clothes from the AW12 collection before moving on to the Spring/Summer 2013 collection.

It will feature bright, interchangeable colour schemes - from classic tones to contemporary Spring/Summer shades. The new range will also be constructed from quality fabrics with an emphasis on practical tailoring.

"Our aim for 2013 is to continue to develop the brand to offer classical and technical performance golfing apparel that fuses functionality with with colour and style," said Mark Truby, IJP Design's Managing Director.

"We're very excited about our new ambassadors and showing that the range can be worn in many ways and styles."

Harto, who graduated to the European Tour courtesy of his third-place finish on the 2012 Challenge Tour, added: "It's great to be wearing IJP design in 2013.

"I think Ian looks great whenever he goes out on the golf course, and now I'm going to be looking equally stylish when I compete."
