From Parnevik to Futura: How Malbon is Changing Golf Fashion
Golf fashion used to be predictable: ill-fitting khakis, stiff collars, and silence. Then came Stephen and Erica Malbon. By blending the rebellious spirit of skate culture with the tradition of the game, Malbon Golf has single-handedly created the category of "Golf Streetwear."
At TAKOUT NY, we believe the fairway should be an extension of your personal style, not a uniform. From high-tech performance gear to nostalgic knits, here is how Malbon is changing the game—and how you should be wearing it.
The Gear: Performance Meets Palette
Malbon's "Performance" line proves that looking cool doesn't mean sacrificing function. The standout for this season is the bold use of color: specifically 'Azurra' (Blue) and 'Aloe' (Green).
The Setup: Monochromatic Shells
Forget the boring black windbreaker. We are seeing a huge trend in full monochromatic kits.
- The Look: Pair the Performance Full Zip Shell Jacket 'Azurra' with the matching Performance Poly Tech Short 'Azurra'. It creates a clean, intentional look that pops against the green grass.
- The Alternate: If blue isn't your vibe, the 'Aloe' colorway offers a softer, earth-tone approach. The Performance Full Zip Shell Jacket 'Aloe' is lightweight, water-resistant, and designed to move with your swing, not against it. Pair it with the Performance Poly Tech Short 'Aloe'.
The Art: Malbon x FUTURA
Why is a graffiti artist on a golf shirt a big deal? Because it has never happened before. FUTURA (formerly Futura 2000) is a pioneer of the abstract street art movement. His collaboration with Malbon bridges the gap between the gallery and the golf cart.
The Must-Haves
- The Statement: The MALBON x FUTURA Tag Hooded Sweatshirt 'Forest' features his iconic atomic signature, turning a standard hoodie into a wearable piece of art.
- The Subtle Flex: For the clubhouse, the MALBON x FUTURA Buckets Tee 'White' (also available in Black) offers a more understated way to rep the collaboration.
The Classic: The "Old Money" Aesthetic
Streetwear isn't just about hoodies; it's also about respecting the roots. The Jesper Parnevik collection pays homage to the Swedish golf icon known for his flipped-brim hats and impeccable tailoring. This is for the golfer who appreciates the "Old Money" aesthetic but wants modern comfort.
The Hero Piece: Merino Wool V-Neck
The Jesper Parnevik V Neck Merino Wool Sweater 'Chocolate' is the ultimate layering piece.
The rich chocolate color pairs perfectly with the clean Evergreen Block Placket Polo 'White'. If you want to make a statement, the Pink Colorway pairs unexpectedly well with the Performance Nylon Tech Pant 'Black', balancing classic prep with modern tech.
Malbon Sizing Guide: How Does it Fit?
One of the most common questions we get at TAKOUT NY is: "Does Malbon run true to size?" Here is the breakdown:
- Polos & Tees: Malbon typically offers a standard to slightly relaxed fit. If you prefer the tight, athletic fit of brands like Nike Golf, you might want to size down. If you like the streetwear drape, stick to your true size.
- Outerwear (Shells & Hoodies): Fits true to size. The Shell Jackets are designed with room to be layered over a polo or sweater.
- Pants & Shorts: The waist is true to size, but the legs often feature a modern, tailored taper (especially the Tech Pants).
