Gap and Malbon are running it back.
After teaming up for the first time in 2025, the two brands are back with a second collection, this time with a bigger focus on the overlap between golf, tennis and everyday sportswear. The 35-piece drop includes men’s and women’s apparel, along with a handful of limited-edition golf accessories.
And, at least on paper, this one feels pretty easy to understand.
Gap brings the classic American sportswear stuff it has been doing forever. Malbon brings the golf credibility and a little more personality. The result is a collection built around rugby polos, pleated skirts, prep-inspired knits and relaxed outerwear.
Golf style continues to move further away from the old “golf clothes” box, and this collection fits squarely into that shift. These are pieces designed to work on the course without looking out of place everywhere else. That has been Malbon’s lane for years, and Gap is a pretty natural partner for it.
There’s also a noticeably bigger women’s offering this time around, which Malbon says was an intentional part of expanding the collection beyond golf and into the broader intersection of sport and fashion.
The Gap x Malbon collection launches today.

I guess those models above are supposed to be ‘cool’. They look like spoiled nepo-babies. Have to laugh; you KNOW most young people cannot come close to affording those clothes. And many adults should have enough sense not to waste $148 on a polo or $68 on a tee shirt. A $68 tee shirt??????????????

Golf has become a money grab for any company willing to pander to the woke nepo baby latte crowd.

They can’t be selling that much merchandise at those prices. But I guess w/ the markups hey have, you don’t have to sell a ton to break even. Funny thing, as a single at my home course I play w/ tons of different people. Can’t recall if I’ve EVER noticed (or cared) what someone was wearing.
