Aiming to blend the needs of outerwear with city-esque styling, the Battenwear Active Lazy Shorts convey the brands functional yet well designed mission statement. The breathable cotton, linen blend is perfect for summer which is additionally complemented by the tomato-red tone. With an elasticated waistband and adjustable drawstring, a secure fit is guaranteed with the benefit of two vertical pockets on the side seams, flanked by two pockets on the rear. Finally it is finished with an appliquéd logo on the lower left leg.

Battenwear was founded in New York in 2011 by Shinya Hasegawa, who aimed to convey the traditional demands of the great outdoors (being a great adventurer himself) through the classic city aesthetic. Initially his inspiration was rooted in the surf and outdoor wear era of the sixties through to the eighties; creating versatile, easily-packable, functional and most importantly stylish clothes.
