Spring Summer 24 from Battenwear sees the brand paying homage to the 1970s and 80s surf and sport scene of Japan. A period which perfected the look described as "ultra laid back" or "deliberate casual".
The Battenwear team has always prioritized balance in the items they make: balance between outdoor & city, functional & stylish, retro & contemporary, deliberate & casual In this case, they set out to make a grown-up, everyday jacket for wandering about town. Introducing the Wander Jacket.
Shinya Hasegawa wanted to capture the look of 1970s Hang Ten tees with the fit of 1990s dropped shoulder boxy tees. The result is a durable, comfortable, and timeless heavyweight Rugby Pocket Tee. All are made at a historic Canadian factory that specialises in rugby gear.
The Commuter Pants, designed with the Wander Jacket in mind, are their elevated take on classic slacks. Conservative and deliberately under the radar without being boring-looking, the Commuter Pants have a double pleat at the front waist and a flattering, straight leg shape. The silhouette is meant to work with various tops and shoes, making the pants as multipurpose as possible and useful on trips.
The Mesh Tote is the offspring of two bags: the Packable Tote and the Wet Dry Bag. It's the same size as the Packable Tote, made with the same durable mesh as the "wet" compartment of their Wet Dry Bag. It's the perfect lightweight bag for high summer (or really any time).
The Beach Breaker Jacket has got you covered for those rainy and windy days standing on the beach and waiting for the sets to cruise in. Taking its cues from the kind of jacket your old high school football coach would wear. It's crafted from a cotton ripstop.
