Golf apparel label Malbon Golf has partnered with American chino and khakis maker Dockers to launch a limited-edition collection titled 'Dockers x Malbon Golf.'
The collection delivers a wide range of golf-ready wardrobe staples, including white-linen chore coats, khaki shirt jackets, polo t-shirts, knee-length shorts, and straight-fit slacks. In addition, a majority of the pieces come donning a co-branded logo that features an illustration of both labels' trademarks wrapped around a golf ball wearing a sun visor.
"I remember the old school ‘80s pro golfers would wear very Dockers-ish silhouettes with polos and sweaters. And I like how Dockers were made for ‘office wear,’ but then, because it was just a preppy guy look, it worked across golf as well," said Malbon Golf founder Stephen Malbon.
