Batten Sportwear, a new collection from designer, Shinya Hasegawa, is a welcome addition to the world of outerwear. With inspirational hits from Hasegawa’s love of surf, the Batten collection also pulls themes found in the classic outdoor wear of the late 70’s and early 80’s. In fact, the jackets themselves are very similar to a deadstock piece we have in our collection developed during this time in Boston (we’ll share that with you at a later date).

In an excerpt from the forthcoming new issue of Oi Polloi’s Pica~Post zine, Hasegawa goes deep in thought explaining the not only the Batten garments but his time working under Daiki Suzuki at Woolrich Woolen Mills. Worth a read.

Poca~Post #2 is available now. Focusing in on Autumn/Winter, the new issue is stacked with a variety of content. Cottonopolis gets a fair looks does Lauren’s auto collection. ”Perhaps once again, the highlight is the illustrations based on Oi Polloi’s popular Deck-Out feature. In this issue we meet Prof. Giorgio Geology, The Rave Rigger and the Swamp Wizard, each of whom is impeccably attired and has an interesting story to tell.” You’ll also find a fold-out denim guide by John Studley and more.
