First Look: Batten Sportswear’s Debut Collection in Pica Post

February 16, 2012


Our favorite Manchester boutique for woodsy dudes Oi Polloi also has a zine called Pica Post, and in their next issue, they have an exclusive look at the debut collection of Batten Sportswear. A nautically-tinged line designed by Shinya Hasegawa, who trained under one of the most heralded menswear designers in the world Daiku Suzuki at Woolrich Woolen Mills, Batten is a pretty straightforward but beautifully executed take on surf gear like windbreakers, cheeky T-shirts and floral board shirts. Other than photos of the clothes with cute-as-crap cats, you can read Pica Post’s interview with Hasegawa, and check back to Oi Polloi next week to buy the gear.
