Why Johnnie-O’s Coffee Run Collection Has a Special Place in My Closet

*In Partnership with Johnnie-O*

There’s a section in my closet I don’t talk about much. It’s not golf apparel, not work fits, not even sneakers. It’s my “dad and coach” section, the stuff I reach for when I need comfort, simplicity, and zero second-guessing. Those early mornings when I’m hustling kids to practice or Saturday afternoons on the sidelines? That’s when it matters most.

Johnnie-O’s Coffee Run Collection feels like it was made for exactly that space. It’s simple, laid-back, and doesn’t try too hard, but somehow always looks pulled together. The kind of gear you can wear for coaching flag football, running errands, or grabbing coffee before the day officially starts.

When I sat down with Johnnie-O’s Chief Merchandising Officer, Chris Knott, on the Course Café Podcast, we talked about how this collection might be the clearest expression of the brand. Comfort, quality, and a relaxed California vibe that seamlessly blends into everyday life. And the more I’ve worn it, the more I’ve realized how true that is.

Golf will always be part of my lifestyle, but it’s not the whole story. There are so many in-between moments, practices, carpools, weekend games, that fill up more of my time than tee times do. That’s why Johnnie-O resonates. It’s a brand that belongs on the course, sure, but also fits into the everyday rhythms of dad life and coaching life without missing a beat.

The Coffee Run Collection doesn’t overcomplicate things. It just works. And that’s why it has a permanent place in my closet.
