Although inspired by classic college football windbreakers, the Beach Breaker was actually made in honor of intrepid East Coast surfers. For those who don't know: the only kind of surf we have near NYC comes from beach breaks, which means we spend a lot of early mornings standing on the cold sand, staring out at the horizon, and waiting for the wind to bring the waves in just right . . . before we commit to the wetsuit. The Battenwear Beach Breaker is the perfect standing-on-the-beach, staring-longingly jacket. It does not hurt that, while standing there, you kind of look like an old-school, bad-ass football coach. Fabric Notes:Â For SS23, we are using a water repellant taslan nylon (same as SS22). Taslan is known for being quick-drying and soft like cotton, and this particular taslan also has a finely crinkled texture making it well suited for hot days.
