Over the past few years there has clearly been one golf brand turning heads and grabbing headlines more than any other: Malbon. Through combination of unique looks that sometimes baffle the elder statesmen of the game, and big-name signings like Jason Day and Charley Hull, Malbon has helped usher in a whole new look and culture for the next generation of golfers.
And that generation is perhaps being led by the young star and Malbon-endorsed Jackson Koivun, who recently earned his first PGA Tour win in just his third professional start.
Here’s a look at the story behind the Malbon lifestyle brand, and some of the latest threads to hit Fairway Styles.
What is Malbon
Malbon was founded in 2017 by Stephen and Erica Malbon, self-described “culture and golf enthusiasts.” They say their approach has always been about “bold self-expression and real inclusivity” according to their website. And it seems to be working.
Anchored by a bunch of splashy partnerships and collaborations on apparel and accessories, the brand has grown very quickly. Malbon has not only found its way into the wardrobes of golfers everywhere, but also some of the world’s best golfers like Jason Day, Sungjae Im, Charley Hull, Minjee Lee and Fred Couples.
Unforgettable branding is just the beginning, with Malbon using creative and stylish curations to set itself apart from, well, pretty much everyone. The result is a brand – or perhaps a movement – that is just getting started.
The Malbon Look
Right off the bat, with its streetwear-leaning style, is the Range Cooper Sweatshirt. It’s made from premium cotton and features an embroidered Buckets logo on the front. On a chilly morning you can throw it over your Fairway Baldwin Polo, which is crafted from an extra soft nylon and lycra blend, or the Bermuda Shirt which is a relaxed fit.
As one of many pieces with four different color options on Fairway Styles, the Pine Windshirt is a great option for bad weather or just hanging around town because it’s lightweight and breathable. Or a warmer idea would be the Collegiate 1/4 Zip Stand Collar Sweatshirt, made from 100% soft cotton and made to flex on and off the course.
And don’t forget about Malbon accessories! The Bucket Hat is lightweight, packable, and effortlessly cool. The M Blade Cover is made from 100% genuine leather and has embroidered Malbon script logo on top and Buckets logo on sides. And the Golf Towel is made from high-quality microfiber for superior absorbency. What more do you need?!
