For most of the BH readership, it’s a safe bet that you’d loathe hitting the green dressed up like a Florida retiree – although it’s invariably the look men will be saddled with if they pop down to their local Gazman or Tommy Bahama. Fortunately, we live in a golden era of alt sporting apparel: made glorious by indie brands that are now crafting versatile, thoughtfully executed kits; often with a cultural mindset that ventures beyond the familiarity of the club and driving range.

That’s more or less how I’d describe the latest drop from Malbon Golf – the second in the brand’s popular ‘Legacy Collection’ this [American] Fall. Aimed squarely at those with a healthy appreciation for the wry “dad-brand non-style” that has become a fixture in contemporary fashion elsewhere, there’s a lot to like here — even amongst players who are tackling links in the relative warmth of the Southern Hemisphere.

Staple golfing attire – think knit vests and short-sleeve polos – are a fixture of the collection, though Malbon Golf’s civilian appeal is perhaps best reflected in the higher ticket items from this latest drop. There’s an anorak in ‘Cloudburst’ fabric – water-resistant, antimicrobial, already sold out in beige – that would absolutely kill at your next Sunday sesh (never mind on the 18th hole).

Or how about some gauzy fisherman-style knits? Warm, flattering and ideally suited to the odd spate of cloud cover, styles like this really hammer home Malbon Golf’s primary objective: sharing the love of the game with a younger, previously untapped audience.

The key to that mission is pricing. With most of this drop ticketed at US$110-$225 (AU$160-330), there’s a degree of accessibility here that opens up the prospect of copping golf-inspired kit to all but the thriftiest shoppers. You can check out the Malbon Golf Legacy Collection (all available to shop online) below.
