Mark Wahlberg starts his day at 2:30 a.m., works out around 4 a.m., plays golf after that, and then gets to work — which might entail going on set (all over the world), taking business meetings, and appearing on talk shows. It’s as varied and demanding as a day can get, and one necessity to handle it, says Wahlberg, is the right wardrobe.
After struggling to find clothing with that kind of versatility, Wahlberg decided to launch his own brand, Municipal, in 2020 alongside his manager Stephen Levinson and golf industry guru Harry Arnett.
