Casualist — The London Brand That Outgrew Its Own Name

17 Pieces

The TGI Take

The most telling thing about Casualist is what Elie Reboul refused to throw away. He renamed the brand from Casual Pro in 2023 because the name needed to grow up — and then kept selling the old snapback, which is still the best-seller with the previous name stitched across the front.

The Weekend Pique Polo at £95 is where the grown-up version shows: made in Portugal, cut closer than an American golf polo, plain enough to wear somewhere that is not a golf course.

This is for the player who wants a European cut and does not need the shirt to announce the sport. The range opens at £38 for the hat that started it.

The Story

The best-selling item Casualist makes has the wrong name on it. The Casual Pro Snapback is the oldest thing in the catalogue, it restocked this month, and stitched across the front is CASUAL PRO, SINCE 2023, LEISURE APPAREL, MELB – LDN – LA. That was the brand before this one.

Elie Reboul renamed it. His explanation, on the about page, is two sentences long: the spirit was right, but the name needed to grow up a little. Casualist is the version with sharper details and a clearer point of view. What he did not do is retire the old hat, and the archive section still sells a navy coach jacket with CASUAL PRO in block type across the back.

The brand is West London. It says so on the Two Tone Course Cap, under the words Leisure Goods. Everything is designed there and most of it is made in Portugal, with fabric chosen for how it feels after eighteen holes rather than how it reads on a screen. The test they apply to anything before making it is whether they would wear it properly and repeatedly, not once and not for the photos.

Seventeen products. Polos with collars soft enough to pack, tees that carry the jokes, a cardigan vest meant sincerely for a drizzly Tuesday, pleated trousers cut closer to trousers than to golf pants. And, at the bottom of the catalogue, a £12,000 electric golf cart in cream with a striped canopy.

Polos and Mocknecks

Casualist
Trust the Swing Pique Polo · £115
Cotton pique with a soft unstructured collar. Olive and dusty blue. The polo the brand is built around, and the one that best explains the whole thing: no logo you can read from the fairway.
Shop ↗
Casualist
Weekend Pique Polo · £95
The long-sleeve version in ecru and mocha. Same pique, more coverage, and it passes for a normal shirt off the course.
Shop ↗
Casualist
Dress Code Mockneck Tee · £85
A mockneck in place of a collar, which solves the clubhouse dress code without looking like it is solving anything. Dusty blue and ecru.
Shop ↗

Tees

Casualist
No Idea Heavy Tee · £65
Organic cotton, heavyweight, with an illustrated back print. Casualist's sense of humour is dry and it lives mostly on the tees.

Good Enough Tee · £65
Ecru, chest wordmark, nothing else. The plainest thing they make.
Shop ↗

Layers

Casualist

Mushroom brown with ALL THE GEAR NO IDEA scripted across the back. Self-deprecation is the house tone and this is the clearest statement of it.

Casualist

Grey knit, button front, patch pockets. This is the piece from the about page — the proper cardigan on a drizzly Tuesday morning, meant sincerely.
Shop ↗
Casualist
Cart Path Ripstop Jacket · £240

And Then There Is the Cart

Casualist
Beach Rover · £12,000 · Sold out
Soft cream with a yellow striped canopy and an electric drive. Their own copy calls it “handsome, unhurried, and built for people who take the game seriously but not themselves,” and asks you to enquire for specifications and delivery. Sold out. A seventeen-product apparel brand listing a twelve-thousand-pound vehicle is the most Casualist thing on this page.
