A casual line that modernizes golf heritage
Munsingwear Grand-Slam is a heritage-oriented casual line announced by Munsingwear in 2021
Munsingwear Grand-Slam is a heritage-oriented casual line announced by Munsingwear in 2021 as a new line. Inspired by U.S. catalogs from 1955 through the 1970s, it was presented as updating silhouettes with new materials and cuts while drawing on the textures and details of the period. It serves to carry on golf traditions while extending them into contemporary everyday wear, and is positioned around archives, unlike ENVOY, which foregrounds functionality, and Penguin by Munsingwear, which bridges streetwear and golf.
