The motifs include a surfboard, skateboard, van and buddies road tripping— evoking thoughts of free-spirited fun. His signature print comes displayed across boardshorts, button-up shirts and comfy tees, everything you’ll need to look and feel effortlessly cool on yout next holiday.

Some stars of this collaboration include the Yusuke Loggin short-sleeve, a flax linen blend camp shirt with an allover print, and two short-sleeve cotton tees with large-scale Yusuke graphic designs.
