Mental health, especially men’s mental health, is not talked about as often as it should be.
Luxury boutique Mr. Porter and disruptive golf brand G/FORE hope to start a conversation with the release of a new limited-edition apparel collection.
Releasing under the private label Mr. P, the new G/FORE x Mr. P golf collection hopes to bring some awareness to men’s mental and physical health via donation. Until May 15, 50 percent of net profits from the aforementioned collection will be donated to the Mr. Porter Health in Mind Fund.
The special collaboration is headlined by seven ready-to-wear styles and two G/FORE golf shoes. The popular Gallivanter and the new Gallivan2r receive a stylish makeover, courtesy of Mr. P.

In addition to shoes and apparel, the collection features a host of accessories including the G/FORE Daytona golf bag and a logoed cabretta leather golf glove.
The entire G/FORE x Mr. P collection is available now at G/FORE and Mr. Porter.
Editor’s Note: Mental Health
I’d be remiss not to say a few words on the importance of mental health. Too often, words are left unsaid and feelings left unshared. And while G/FORE and Mr. P are doing something good by donating some of the net profits, the reality is that you don’t need to spend money on golf apparel in order to help someone with mental health issues.
Above all else, check on your friends and family members. Those struggling rarely, if ever, reach out to let you know how they’re feeling. Send that text. Make the phone call. Give a hug. The best thing we can do for mental health issues is look out for one another.
