Golf Meets the Woods: Malbon’s Most Personal Collection Yet

Malbon’s Foraging Fairways collection doesn’t come from a trend forecast or a color report; it comes straight out of Stephen Malbon’s life in Pebble Beach. Out of the rounds he plays at The Preserve in the morning, and the slow, quiet walks he takes afterward, basket in hand, scanning the ground for chanterelles and porcini.

“Porcinis grow under pine trees and chanterelles grow under oak trees… but so does poison oak,” Stephen told me on the Course Café. And that one detail, that little slice of real life, spiraled into an entire collection. Boots for hiking through brush. Gloves sturdy enough to push back branches. A foraging knife with a brush on the end so you can clean mushrooms in the field. Graphics and prints pulled from the trees, the terrain, and the ritual.

It’s classic Malbon storytelling: take a lived moment, build a dream around it, and ask “why not?” until the idea becomes real.
