Pacific Mercantile Bank extended a $1.5 million commercial line of credit to Linksoul to finance the company’s continued growth.

Linksoul is an apparel brand originally designed for playing golf and extended to a wide range of activities to create a line of men’s and women’s lifestyle clothing.

“I’m grateful for the support that Pacific Mercantile Bank has provided to help us grow the Linksoul brand,” said John Ashworth, president of Linksoul. “Linksoul is the product of 30 years of experience in the clothing trade that includes conceptualizing, collecting, developing and designing.”

“Linksoul has struck a chord with golfers and is gaining popularity nationally and internationally,” said Tom Vertin, president and CEDO of Pacific Mercantile Bank. “We are very pleased to be working with this unique group of golfers, craftsmen and artists as they continue to build the Linksoul brand.”
