Metalwood Studio Dual Face Tee Pairs Cotton With Polyester

Metalwood Studio's Dual Face T Shirt has a heavyweight, 100% cotton shell on one side and a sporty, moisture wicking, 100% polyester reverse side on the other. The Los Angeles label also released Piped LS 1/4 Zip Polos, and both are available through the link in the label's bio. The label calls the math "2 shirts for the price of 1."

That sentence from Metalwood is a pricing joke and a design brief at once. A cotton face and a polyester face is a golf shirt and a street tee in one garment, and it is a compact version of what the label sells.

One Shirt, Two Fabrics

The Dual Face T Shirt is built as a pair of surfaces. The shell is heavyweight cotton, the fabric streetwear buyers read as substance. The reverse is polyester that wicks moisture, the fabric a golfer wants on a hot back nine. On paper, one side is for the sidewalk and the other is for a round.

Metalwood has worked this seam since Cole Young founded the label in Los Angeles in 2020. Young is a former Division I golfer, and the label draws on golf style from the 1990s and early 2000s, pulled toward streetwear. Many of its tops pick one side. The earlier Quarter Zip Jersey Polo, sold by retailers including Kith, FWRD and Feature, is described in one listing as 100% polyester, with a contrast collar and sublimation printed branding at the chest and back. The Dual Face tee puts both fabric families in one shirt instead of two product pages.

Malcolm Wears the Piped Polo

The Piped LS 1/4 Zip Polo is shown on Malcolm in the label's images. Metalwood's own caption adds a second line about the polo: "This is what the polos look like when Malcom's not wearing them," which suggests the photos include shots of the garment on its own. The label spells the name two ways in one caption, Malcolm and Malcom, and this article uses Malcolm, the spelling in the label's first line.

Malcolm also wore the Fall Winter 2026 collection when it went on sale October 16 at 11AM PDT, shot by Ryan Thomas Murray and Chase Thompson. The long sleeve quarter zip polo carries the golf pullover into the cold months. Piping is a contrast trim sewn into the seams, and it gives a plain top a visible outline.

Where These Pieces Sit in a Busy Year

This is a label that has spent 2026 working with big partners and then coming back to its own shelf. On February 16 adidas and Metalwood released their first golf capsule, a six piece range of polo, windbreaker, pant, hat, glove and MC70 golf footwear. On September 12 the adidas x Metalwood Predator Sala Core Black went on sale at Undefeated's Silver Lake and Phoenix stores, at Undefeated.com and at several skate retailers. It was the second Predator Sala colorway after Vino.

The Dual Face tee and piped polo are the label's own work between those projects. Metalwood closed its online store on October 11 to rebuild it, kept the La Brea shop at 128 South La Brea Avenue open, and reopened the site with the season five days later. Retailers such as END. Clothing and SSENSE carry the brand, so the direct site is where a full season shows up at once. The La Brea shop stocks vintage clubs, headcovers and apparel and offers club repair, so a polyester face on a tee suits a store where customers arrive with a driver in hand.

The label began as an Instagram account, an ode to golf of the 1990s and early 2000s, run by Young while he still sold for another brand. Its jump from mood board to a business with a storefront took about two years, and the Dual Face tee is the kind of product that jump allows: a garment designed around how someone will wear it on a course and off.

Boy Math, Checked

The label's arithmetic holds as a design claim even if it is a joke as a price claim. One shirt with two usable faces covers two occasions. Heavyweight cotton is the fabric buyers look for in a tee, while polyester that wicks moisture dries faster, and a buyer who plays golf gets the second face for the course. A buyer who never swings a club gets a heavyweight tee with a spare.

Metalwood's earlier work with Maxfli, the golf ball maker, in 2024 launched first on the label's own store, so a direct launch is a habit for the label. The Dual Face tee and the piped quarter zip are available through the link in the label's bio, and the label has not named a stock count for either one.
