Imperial Headwear acquires Winston Collection assets

Imperial Headwear announced the asset acquisition of Winston Collection, LLC (Winston), an accessories brand headquartered in Rochester Hills, Michigan. Imperial will continue to operate the business under the Winston Collection name. The existing management team and operations at Winston will remain in place, ensuring continuity, brand integrity, and operational expertise as the brand joins the expanding portfolio at Imperial Headwear.

“We’re elated to welcome Winston to the Imperial family,” said Jeremy Davis, CEO of Imperial. “The Winston craftsmanship and dedication to service perfectly align with our go-to-market approach and pursuit of excellence. This acquisition marks an exciting leap forward in our mission to redefine what premium means in the golf industry — by delivering innovative, top-tier products with unmatched speed and a service experience that sets a new standard.”

The acquisition is said to enhance the brand lineup at Imperial while strengthening its presence in the golf channel, pairing accessories from Winston with the operational scale and brand awareness of Imperial.

According to the companies, the partnership was driven by a shared vision around craftsmanship, customer service, and long-term brand growth and marks the third strategic transaction for Imperial in four years under CPC ownership, following the acquisitions of Pukka in 2024 and J.T. Spencer in 2022.

“Imperial and Winston share a common philosophy — quality, innovation, and customer-first service,” said David Shaffer, president of Imperial. “This partnership allows us to combine our strengths and deliver even greater value to our customers. We’re excited about the opportunities ahead as Winston joins our growing family of brands.”
