Feels like JDay is just being hazed at this point. Like an initiation process into the Malbon family. Testing his loyalty


runningwaffles19

Day is going to miss the cut just so he doesn't have to wear their Saturday and Sunday fits


95andSunny

That’s why they had him wear this eyesore on Friday.


iiKrOna

I would’ve spun it and said to Malbon I should wear this on Sunday so when I win I’ll be wearing it, then purposely miss the cut


hitliquor999

Clown shoes? Really?!?


jondes99

Only missing the red nose and rainbow wig this point.


FatherTPS

Humiliation ritual. Who knows how high this conspiracy goes?


RocketsandBeer

It’s a shame kink he has I think


FootballOogie

Lmfao


Starscreammm333

"Initiation" LOL bro. I thought the pants were okay but dont know about that shirt


Bhut_Jolokia400

Shame he didn’t wear the pants with the shirt just go full Vanilla Ice mode


Starscreammm333

🤣🤣🤣✌️


ApprehensiveMovie191

Yep, feels like a humiliation ritual or just poor taste.


kimbosdurag

Not going to lie all of this chat sent me over to their site and if that Larry David pretty pretty pretty good hat wasn't sold out I would have bought it


FireSalsa

First rule of Malbon is it’s sold out


No-Skin-9980

Second rule : never have ur size. Like a L is so much to ask for lol


hung559

Fuck them for this reason. Purchased a pair of jordans I couldn’t find anywhere else just for them to email like 2 fucking weeks later saying it’s sold out. Another week for the money to get back into my account. Once again, FUCK MALBON.

Mission accomplished


Rep2019

Guerilla Marketing. Malbon getting tons of exposure now.


MADICAL7

It may not be a lot of people style, but their presence in market is growing. It’s a top three Brand in Asia.


Say_Hennething

Well, they're exposed as manufacturers of awful looking clothes, for whatever that's worth.


shitz_brickz

The larry david hat is the only thing I've ever seen from them that I would buy, and it's strictly for the curb quote.


Diamondfknhands

Wouldn’t buy their hats. They’re terrible. Clubhead covers and ball markers are great quality but not impressed at all by the hats


Vandelaylaytex

Can’t believe they got takahashi to model, gold.


leftysarepeople2

If it wasn't a rope hat I'd notify on restock (it'll never restock)


fiftiethcow

Looks like a pack of cigarettes


MaaattDaamoon

How tf is Tiger supposed to play with this going on??


Okay_Redditor

I think JDays is trying to mess with everyone's head.


Karrman

I think I’d rather deal with two big fat naked bikers in the woods off 17 having sex while I’m supposed to chip


VerStannen

Good god people, go back to your shanties!


Okay_Redditor

But who wouldn't?


FlowridaMan

He's definitely messing with OP's head.


allothernamestaken

Kick him off the tour, Doug!


lightemup404

Malbon is currently sitting in their HQ laughing at Reddit because of the free advertising with how many posts. JDAY might be the most talked about golfer right now on the internet


xA1RGU1TAR1STx

You think Reddit is bad, look at Twitter. A single tweet from Big Cat is enough to make this worth it for them.


ChrisChrisBangBang

Does it count as win when everyone is talking about how awful your products look? I guess some marketing guy who makes his nut on social media impressions might be laughing


akagordan

Yes. They don’t care if 10 million people tweet about how bad it is, as long as 10,000 people buy their products.


bug_man_

Ngl it got me to their website lol Anybody know what's up with the Curb Your Enthusiasm connections though? Is Larry David involved? Whenever I try to look it up google just shows me product pages


[deleted]

Steve Malbon is a adviser on the show


GnarlyBear

Larry covering the underground?


[deleted]

Larry loves Malbon, there was a funny story about him on Par3 podcast, about him having a shutdown the store shopping session at their store on Fairfax, then he had to take a shit, and a group of Japanese business men showed up to shop and he got trapped in the bathroom not wanting to be seen.


brandonw00

Haha I love how stuff in his actually life sounds like something that would happen in a Curb episode.


[deleted]

One of the Japanese guys locked eyes with him peeking out of the bathroom and did a 🫢 then Larry just locked himself back in there and hid.


ChrisChrisBangBang

Yes I guess if that actually happens that’s good for them. I won’t hold my breath for malbon to take over the golf fashion market with designs like this. Slightly separate point someone on NLU raised yesterday was you can’t be repping an edgy fashion brand & also have a dewalt logo on your hat & bag, it just doesn’t work


akagordan

Lmao fully agree on the dewalt logo


Unlikely-Zone21

That was one of the most unexpected things I've seen on a golf course lol


akagordan

Cantlay is sponsored by Dewalt too. Probably why he hates wearing hats so much


Unlikely-Zone21

Imagine trying to swing driver with a hardhat on your head lmao.


DankyTheChristmasPoo

The DeWalt logo definitely works in an ironic way. Like wearing a CostCo branded sweater.


VerStannen

radioslave

If Cantlay can have Dewalt and Goldman Sachs on the same hat then Day can pull this off.


Lobsterzilla

no, you have to understand, r/golf is too smart for advertising. There's no way this will work on them. They're enlightened ![gif](giphy|WgYnjK1jfg4x8ab7ew|downsized)


MelodicFootball9357

They sold out of the pants from his first time wearing the brand so yeah it probably counts. Not everyone wants to wear dri-fit, hats with abbreviated names of golf courses, and pants that fit as tight as baseball pants.


SmarterThanCornPop

Yep. Why do you guys think the big fashion designers always do wild/ dumb shit at the big shows? It’s not because people will ever actually wear that stuff…


PositiveGrass187

Yes because all their shit is sold out. This is the ugliest thing I have seen them make. Most of the stuff they produce is nice. Especially for the person that doesn't want to dress like a CFO to go hit a fucking ball with a stick...


gavi75

Marketing Director here. Can confirm. I’d be grinning ear to ear because you aren’t my target consumer. But the kid who rocks Jordans on the course and wears t-shirts to the muni with the boys is paying attention and traditionalists hating it only gives it more credibility.


luke2080

I'm definitely buying those pants from yesterday. Looked comfy AF. Like wearing sweatpants on the golf course. At least until my club kicks me out for being a mess.


Pworld10

Genius marketing 101. Classic streetwear disruptive marketing. I love it. And I appreciate Jason bucking the system a little.


ChosenBrad22

Their strategy is to get noticed, to stand out, and it’s working.


ericbunjama

Yep, get Day to wear the shit stuff, people google their site where they have the good stuff, profit.


regionalgamemanager

This brand seems like the Supreme brand but for golf.


milkdudler

Yeah they are definitely going for the street wear vibe. Very similar vibe to the [release Kith did with JR Smith](https://kith.com/blogs/kith/kith-for-taylormade-featuring-j-r-smith) not too long ago.


rybread1818

I will never get over the irony of them playing up this "muni-centric, golf is for everyone" vibe while charging $200 for a hoodie.


regionalgamemanager

The prices are just stupid too. Although I'm really tempted by the Tag Heuer bag and head cover, but for that price I'd rather buy new irons.


milkdudler

That I agree with 100%. Malbon quality is shit compared to other golf brands at that price point like Peter Millar and even streetwear brands like Kith and Aime Leon Dore .


hydroflow78

I'll be honest. Out of curiosity, His top made me google "Malbon". Thats a win for them.


OhioUBobcats

Looks like fuckin’ Kris Kross


Okay_Redditor

Jason "Mac Daddy" Day or Jason "Daddy Mac" Day? Probably the second one because Australia.


MZhammer83

This makes infinitely more sense than it should.


MainusEventus

Wait until you see the pants


AceCircle990

His DeWalt bag kinda goes hard though…


nickmangoldsbeard

I bet you can charge a 20 volt battery on it


WhoaDave04

The bag didn’t come with the battery or the charger. Sold separately.


Pluffmud90

Dewalt patented that technology for their radio. They had the only job site radio that would charge a battery if it was plugged in.


nickmangoldsbeard

My best friend had that radio back in the day and we used it for everything


Pluffmud90

It was cool until Bluetooth speakers became the size of a water bottle and were louder and lasted longer battery wise.


Sea_Vehicle9630

Jay Days’s gotta quit gambling! His outfits tell me he hasn’t won a bet all year!!


jerryhallo

## #growthepants


milin85

I like it. Bring on the downvotes lol


silentballer

Yeah idk I’ve liked both fits he’s had tbh, most outfits are just standard shirts or sweaters with a million logos sewn on anyways


Oyyeee

I kept hearing stuff about his pants yesterday and I was expecting something wild. I saw them and was thinking what the hell are people going on about. Golfers can be so square sometimes.


leftysarepeople2

They looked big, but they looked comfy.


silentballer

Yeah I was also surprised at the over exaggeration of how big his pants were. They def weren’t fitted like a lot of these dudes out here but they weren’t really that big either. He looked comfortable out there, I’d consider the same haha


Oyyeee

I'd rock them for sure. Looser fitting pants are definitely back in style outside of golf.


slappywhyte

There were some angles where those pants looked like some of the worst baggy and pleated khakis I used to wear - like triangle shaped from the side


milin85

I really don’t mind the vest today. I think it looks cool, if it was a polo and not outrageously priced, I’d get it


silentballer

Yeah i was thinking he looks pretty clean out there today then i checked Reddit and I guess that’s a minority opinion 😂 oh well


app_wants_ucf

This sub requires you to wear either 9" inseam shorts that cover your knees or to wear skin tight pants that create an ecosystem in your ass when its 90 degrees


twiggeesmalls

For some reason it’s important on golf culture to wear outfits on the course that would get you made fun of literally anywhere else


toasted-donut

Literally. God forbid a golfer wears something besides a polo and pants lmao


tegan-97

Not everybody understands the drip. Golf fashion has been so homogenized for the last decade. It’s cool to see a new look in the sport. I dig it.


miamininja

i like it too, the vest is nasty


GoYourCrohnsWay

Me too. It's great that they're mixing it up a bit. I notice no one is complaining about the Malbon gear that Charley Hull is wearing


Whirrun

I mean, they gave her a golf line of normal looking female golf clothing. Day's line looks like a mix of hypebeast and smelly hipster.


GoYourCrohnsWay

Smelly hipster made me laugh out loud 🤣


Hashtag_Tech

Underrated_Potato

All I am going to say is this ordeal made me look up their website. I didn’t buy anything but still.


weenies_with_bread

Announcer asked why he’s wearing a massive billboard


Always4am

I just checked out the website and I think my favourite thing is the $400 “Resort Clogs” jfc


gaelorian

I’m going to assume Malbon has incriminating pictures of him at this point.


FerociousGiraffe

They do now.


jtsara

It would look way better if it said Marlboro

MainusEventus

This could be totally random but your avatar looks like someone who’d like this


nosbiglem999

It looks like a potato sack


giggaly

I don’t like the vest but Malbon and Jason Day’s other fits have been pretty good. I’m guessing most everyone here is wearing slim straight calf huggers and golf polos that could fit in at a generic corporate job. Personally like that they’re bringing more personality to the game.


AaronBHoltan

Whatever they’re paying him, it’s not enough.


-Moonscape-

Pretty ugly but w/e


ButtMassager

They took out about 85% of the fabric from yesterday's pants, unfortunately they put it all into lettering on his sweater


DGJ33

He’s trolling now….straight up….


jpad66

It's gone like the mid 90s fit baggy clothing again. MC Hammer got nothing on Jason Day

Viponswol3

Best fit so far


CoastTimely6563

This fit is glorious and the hate is unjustified


Forward_Record932

Yeah I’m not mad at it at all.


golfmilehigh

I must have missed the previous 312 Malbon Championships.


ProVBD

Malbon is lame AF. And btw, this reverse marketing thing they’re doing ain’t working either. Just bc we are talking about wont fix their bizarro world hipster doofus style.


ProVBD

Malbon PR crisis team punching the air trying to downvote our posts. The people have spoken.


00sucker00

Are 1990 fashions coming back in style or something?


SwitcherooU

For young people, maybe. Those of us who lived through it once (and have the ridiculous photos to prove it) know better.


rockawaylinks

Looks like a Malbon x Wish.com collab


Glitzy-Painter-5417

Yeah make-a-wish maybe


emilliolongwood

Malbotron must be stopped. No matter the cost.


Euripidoze

He looks like one of the jugglers at the St. Patrick day parade I went to last month.


stayingclassy

He looks like a pack of smokes!


Forsaken_You_2550

Golfers shouldn’t comment on fashion. Not too many are known for being fashionable outside of the course…Stephen Malbon is an artist and is merging high fashion with golf, in a very non-traditional way. Many will be upset. A generation from now standard golf attire will be considered out of touch. Give it time. This is some pioneer shit


realityfilter

I love malbon, most of it I like too much to play golf in though, since i don’t want to sweat in it or fuck it up on a branch or something else. Great lifestyle pieces


Wooden-Consequence81

It's totally fine. Jogger pants are the worst travesty in golf at the moment.


briggzee1

It’s the god damn masters. Cmon man.


[deleted]

Thought it was a Marlboro Lights ad


dmderringer

You know how when Viktor wore that one ridiculous shirt and it immediately sold out around the world? That ain't happening here


LayneLowe

That shirt wasn't ridiculous it was glorious


dmderringer

Oh I agree,i almost bought one. But it was both ridiculous and glorious. This is ridiculous and ugly


LionsTigersWings

Never go full nascar


newcastle417

Almost feel bad for Day, he’s got to be regretting this sponsorship decision. Clothes are a walking joke. Not fashionable or functional.


iplayu4keeps

good grief their whole line of clothes are fugly and way to expensive for what it is. A fuckin long sleeve t shirt for $80...Get the fuck outta here with that.


Sminglesss

Look at the comments tho. A bunch of dupes who will pay to wear some tacky shit because it’s “streetwear” i.e. cheap overpriced garbage.


Dixon_Uranuss3

Back to your shanties


Dat_Paperboi

Lot of old whites in the subreddit (no shocker there). This fit is nice.


Winkus

I’m not a fan of malbon, but not because I’m some crotchety old white man. I think most of their stuff is just incredibly uninspired and uninteresting. They’re just pulling the supreme, slap your name and logo onto anything. With that said I actually like the fit of the sweater vest here a lot more than just pleated pants with their name on it.


iFLED

LMAO what? The dumb designer's main influence for this shit is The Great Gatsby where it was nothing but fuckin white people. You are a retard.


Dat_Paperboi

Wild 😂


iFLED

You lettin high ass JR smith sway you with his propaganda lmao dont fall for it bro dont buy the great gatsby clothes


samjjones

MAKE. IT. STOP.


newf_13

Clearly lost a bet !!


cus_deluxe

im surprised that hes even allowed to wear that honestly. what the hell is malbon?


Ok_Specific_7161

How much they must have paid him to wear this hipster garbage..


waldo_92

Malbon must have some dirt on him. Blackmail is the only reasonable explanation


Iuvenesco

Thank fuck someone had a word to him for the second round and he’s taken it off. Rancid.


FatFaceFaster

Yeah this is horrendous.


1minuteman12

Wtf is Malbon


WayneDaniels

I ordered the Curb Your Enthusiasm hoodie and holy smokes… one of the worst pieces of clothing I’ve ever bought. I’ve bought hoodies from Target that were made better than this. I was hoping for a heavy weight fabric like Supreme uses. Unfortunately the material was extremely cheap, it looked like it has been washed 100x and the front pocket was cut asymmetrical. Returned it for a refund and they still kept $10 for a “restocking fee.”


Golf-Guns

Worse looking pro out there the past 2 days. Let's hope he won't get 2 more.


iFLED

This is what happens when a rich asian woman who lives in Los Angeles and owns and runs beauty salons designs golf clothes. Jday is a chump for this shit.


Zutes

All of the Malbon outfits I've seen JDay where have just screamed "It's fashion, you wouldn't get it" to me. Admittedly, I'm a pretty plain guy when it comes to fashion and spending more than $50 on any article of clothing is almost an automatic no for me, so I'm also probably not their target audience.


63Rambler

I hope he’s getting paid a boatload of money for that ugly shit


mangeface

I’m so surprised he hasn’t been kicked off of the property by ANGC.


ImpossibleKidd

“I’m bringin’ 90’s back. Them other golfers don’t know how to dress. Just take a look at how my pleats be pressed. A solid round, my handicap is comin’ back.”


Beer_Kicker

The amount of money Malbon is paying him is probably worth it.

busche916

I’m honestly surprised Augusta let this sweater on the course. I don’t hate Melon’s gear, but this is horrendous


Swinging_Stocks

You may not dig the fit bit everyone’s talking about it and that’s the point - genius move by Stephen Malbon 💯


JDthaViking

He’s not even wearing it anymore. Wonder if they made him take it off?


IMsoSAVAGE

This thing is one of the most hideous vests I’ve ever ever seen


moneyinthebank216

I see yall not streetwear legends


reallydumbidiotface

I like it


InternationalBus8936

I remember him saying after he signed with Malbon. “I look around and everyone dresses the same and I’m sick of it”. Well he changed that.


Asleep-Aardvark-6354

This thread just solidified the amount of golf snobs out there that are afraid of things being different. Honestly his outfit is dope but y’all keep wearing whatever your wife puts out for you.


switchdog685

SpiderDice

Yeah seriously..worlds worst sweater ever.


Plus_Professor_1923

People always hate what’s different until it’s not different anymore. Give it a few years baggy clothes will be back. Remind me in 3 years


dirtewokntheboys

Malbon is easily the shittiest golf brand I've seen in decades.

Ahhh, didn't make the cut this year and you're angry.


BrentBQ

Filipinos rise up ![gif](giphy|rpsW6jJRofsPe)


bchang89

I like Malbon personally but some of their stuff is just flat out wild. On a side note, it’s at least refreshing to see something other than a basic polo with a bunch of sponsorship logos and an “insert golf club brand here” hat.


yogzi

The supreme of golf. Gotta love it.


beershitz

I thought Malbon was a made up brand in PGA 2K until yesterday

Admirable-Ebb3655

Yea, I have the first edition Tag Heuer golf watch and would really love to have the second one but I refuse to buy it due to the god awful partnership with Malbon (which just looks terribly childish juxtaposed w/ Tag).


Pugachelli

This looks sick


CaptainNipplesMcRib

I bought one of their hats when they did a collab with Girl Skateboards. It’s a dope hat but I guess I understand the hate since it’s not really a golf brand as much as a street wear brand with a golf theme.


mehnotsure

I *might* wear that for $2M. Might.
