For sale here is a shirt/jacket hybrid from the Battenwear label. Battenwear is similar to Engineered Garments and Monitaly in that they have a Japanese designer and are based in and produce exclusively in the United States. Also like Engineered Garments and Monitaly, Battenwear looks to vintage Americana for their design inspiration but adds their own unique take on top.
In this case we have a piece that falls between a shirt and a jacket. You can wear it as a light jacket or an overshirt, and the function is pretty much the same either way. Material is 100% cotton, done in an indigo dyed denim. The denim makes this piece nice and rugged, ideal for taking a beating, and it will only look better with age.
Details include branded snap buttons throughout, four pockets on the front, as well as a pocket on the left sleeve, a flat hem with side splits, and a very cool paisley cotton fabric lining the shoulders. Battenwear is one of those labels that always considers their designs from all angles. Their clothing is highly functional, and this shirt should cover you well throughout a variety of different weather conditions. Retail is about $300, but get it here much more reasonably.
Size is labeled a medium and fits a bit relaxed. I measure the chest at 21.5”, shoulders at 18.5”, length at 29” from the base of the neck, and sleeves at 25” from the shoulder. The shirt comes in lightly used, very good shape. There is a minor bit of wear on the neckline but otherwise no holes, tears or stains. Made in the USA.
Shipping from Japan to anywhere will be $26.
