Resort Wear/Resorts

[seawolf]

@mclaincausey Picked up a couple Battenwear items. Some local shorts and a terry tee that was half price. I'll definitely be back for a lounge shirt when they're back in stock. Thanks for the rec!

@seawolf dude, you’re gonna be rocking some primo lounge threads on your trip!!

[seawolf]

@Mizmazzle I haven't bought new summer clothes in years, so this is a big closet refresh! I'm stoked to have some killer pieces to wear!

testing out my lounge wear, the Battenwear shirt is great!

[mclaincausey]

Great fit @endo !!

This is an M, could have been an inch longer (L) but it was the single only one I could find in Europe. Works for me.

[mclaincausey]

@endo mine fits loose and looks kind of dumpy. Which is perfectly fine for its intended purpose but yours looks legitimately like something you could wear more broadly than I can my Fat Guy shirt

[seawolf]

@endo Where did you find it in Europe? I can't find a Medium anywhere!

[Giles]

Do like that shirt, almost bought it a couple of days ago.....

If you strike out @seawolf i believe they run this every season.

Their climbing pants, climbing shorts, and camp shorts were revelations for me. I feel naked without a belt but they all have integrated cinch webbing belts and great patterning and fabrics for relaxing or active pursuits. The climbing pants I have are a khaki fabric with a 4 way stretch and crotch gusseting, but even though they are somewhat technical they don’t look it or even feel it: the fabric has slub on its face and a very classic hand, and then the interior is brushed and fleecelike. Two hand and one back pocket are zipped. You could actually climb in them.

They make a corduroy lounge pant I regret not having copped too.

While I don’t have anything other than the handful of items mentioned, their riffs on things like MA-1 remind me of what Haraki does in terms of reimagining and paying tributes to classics instead of recreating them.

They’re just kind of a quietly innovative and stylish brand IMO. Nothing that jumps out at you until you experience it in the flesh.

I’ll shut up now but glad they resonate with some of you.

An awesome review! Love it. Thanks again for the rec. Looking forward to getting my hands on some more of their stuff.

@mclaincausey their 'local shorts' look pretty cool too, but I can't get them here
@seawolf as said, was the only one, got it via Trouva from a little boutique in Italy

I have local shorts, bouldering pants, and a travel shell, and all of it is comfortable and with great shapes. Not on the quality level of IH but easy to wear for being a bit more active or lazy.

Ah, it was not that one I was looking at @endo it was this:

Blue chambray pyjama top, you should be all over that.....

[endo]

that‘s also very nice @Giles

[mclaincausey]

In the interest of further enablement, here’s another shirt fit for purpose. https://norbit-store.com/products/hnsh-037 then there’s this one that has the hip pockets of the Battenwear lounge shirt @seawolf https://norbit-store.com/products/hnsh-013b

Wearing the Battenwear lounge shirt and climbing shorts to cope with central Florida and Disneyworld.

@mclaincausey you’re missing out on the blizzard of ‘24!! Crazy, cause two other very close friends of ours from Denver are at Disney World right now with their daughter too.

Thank you @Mizmazzle and @mclaincausey for the Freenote and Battenware recs. I’m very comfortable in this climate and looking fresh!
