Battenwear | One Size

Designer and vintage enthusiast Shinya Hasegawa founded Battenwear in 2011 with a focus on creating purposeful, practical designs that reflected his love for surfing and outdoor clothing from the 1960’s, 1970’s and 1980’s. Based in New York City with a satellite office in Topanga Canyon, California, Battenwear menswear is designed for the adventurer who seeks well-made apparel and accessories suited to time spent in both the city and the great outdoors. Taking note from personal moments before and after surfing, during family picnics and business trips between either Battenwear office, the brand offers the wardrobe that Hasegawa wishes for himself for everyday purpose.

Influential elements from historical adverts by Patagonia, LL Bean and The North Face help to direct overall styling but a great hybrid of ideas and inspiration are what have led Battenwear to develop its own personality within an ever-growing industry, built upon a love for nature and the need for practical gear. Enriched with authentic detailing, original references and a distinctive vintage charm, the spirit of travel is interwoven within each Battenwear collection with phrases such as ‘Surf The World’ and ‘Hidden Paradise’ used to summarise each array of goods. Casual comfort is combined with simple screen printed emblems and a good hint of tie dye hippie-spirit adds a playful touch across robust nylon waist packs and sturdy tote bags that provide easy to carry solutions for all of your essentials, whether you are by the coast, in the mountains or simply completing the morning commute.
