Heritage & History
Shinya Hasegawa founded Battenwear in New York City in 2013, bringing a Japanese sensibility for material quality and construction precision to outdoor-influenced American menswear. The brand's name comes from battening down — securing hatches, tying down gear, preparing for conditions — and that ethos of practical preparation runs through every product the brand makes.
Hasegawa's background in Japanese textile culture gave Battenwear an unusual relationship with materials: fabrics are selected for performance and longevity rather than fashion timing, and the brand has maintained relationships with specific mills for years rather than switching suppliers seasonally. This stability in the supply chain produces unusual consistency in Battenwear products — a piece from their second season and a piece from their tenth will share the same material quality.
Made in New York City
Battenwear manufactures all of its products in New York City, working with the skilled contractors and small factories that remain in the city's garment district and surrounding boroughs. Production in New York City means short lead times, direct quality control, and the ability to produce in genuinely small quantities without the minimum order requirements that offshore factories impose.
The brand's products — camp shirts, reach shorts, trek jackets — are built for genuine outdoor and travel use: technical fabrics, considered pocket placement, and construction that holds up to real activity. Made in New York City by a brand with Japanese quality sensibilities, Battenwear occupies a specific niche that no mass-market alternative addresses.
