A collection of technical golf apparel that is, “Never out of bounds.”

Golf doesn’t need to be a fair-weather endeavor or be contained by barriers. 686 cross-pollinates their 30+ years of technical outdoor design knowledge with Malbon’s creative approach to golf and lifestyle apparel. Taking classic golf styles and modernizing them with all-weather fabrications resulted in clubhouse ready garments that feature 10k waterproofing and breathability, cozy merino lining, and other sneaky details to keep golfers warm, dry, and swinging.

“Stephen and I go back about 20 years during the early days of Frank 151,” remembers 686 founder Michael Akira West. “He lives in this creative culture that blends music, street, art, media, and sport. When Stephen channeled his energy into reshaping golf, it clicked. Stephen – along with Erica Malbon – are true originals. I’m stoked that we get to work together and mash our all-weather mantra into the golf world.”

Inspired by a mix of each brands culture and expertise, together we created style-conscious garments that aren’t out of place on the links, a late-season block party, or fighting the elements after stepping out the front door.

“Collaborating with 686 was an easy decision”, says co founder Stephen Malbon. We both approach our respective industries with a fresh outlook and this collection is a testament to that shared vision. I’m thrilled about this partnership and excited to deliver a line that seamlessly blends fashion with functionality to the community.”

This collaboration is for golf loving humans ready to tackle the harshness of the outdoors without sacrificing their personal style. Stay out longer this season, with the ‘All Mountain Golf Club.’

The Malbon Golf x 686 Collection will be available on October 10th on www.686.com and www.malbongolf.com
