Malbon has built its business model around comfort, trying to market to casual golfers in a way that's different than most other brands.

"You don't have to dress like you're a tour player if you're not one," co-founder Stephen Malbon told Golf Monthly. "Yes, you have to wear a polo and tuck your shirt in and wear a belt. Got it. Other than that, wear whatever the hell you want, be comfortable."
