For the debut Gant by Michael Bastian collection, aimed at what the designer envisions as the more casual “younger brother” of his existing customer, Bastian chose a lacrosse motif.

What’s that? Not familiar with one of the oldest team sports in the Americas?

He said the inspiration actually came last year after reading a New Yorker article on the game (I’m guessing it’s this one), which has its roots in the Huron and Iroquois Native American nations.
