When I think of Porter Japan, I think durable wallets and bags, but the brand has extended to designing clothes. The Head Porter Plus SS 2011 collection displays new outfits showing that Porter can hold its own in the fashion world.
A lot of the designs seen in the brand's usual string of products have been incorporated in the Head Porter Plus SS 2011 collection. The company offers casual wear that's simple and minimalist -- similar in style to what fellow Japanese company UNIQLO offers. Plaid and one-tone crew neck shirts, hoodies and a letterman-like jacket are what's in store for the upper; simple jeans are what can be expected in terms of bottoms.
If Head Porter Plus can bring out clothes that are high in quality like its other products, then the collection is definitely worth a purchase.
