Steven Bartlett Wears Batch Suits

Steven Bartlett’s Unexpected Style Move: Why the Man Who Swore Off Suits Wears Batch LDN

Steven Bartlett, entrepreneur, author, and star of Dragons’ Den, has long been known for breaking conventions—especially when it comes to fashion. Famously stating that he wouldn’t wear a suit to fit into a corporate mould, Steven made headlines when he told BBC Radio 1Xtra’s If You Don’t Know podcast:

“If you type in ‘CEO’ on Google, what you see is white men in suits. I’m not against white men in suits, but I am against leaving talent off the field because they don’t feel included.”
— BBC Newsbeat

And yet, today, Steven Bartlett wears suits—just not the traditional kind.

Why Steven Bartlett Wears Batch LDN

Steven has been spotted in Batch LDN’s Petrol Casual Suit, proving that suits don’t have to feel formal, restrictive, or outdated. This is a man who’s reshaping what success looks like—and his style is no exception.

Made in London, this Petrol Blue casual suit strikes the perfect balance between smart and relaxed. With its structured-yet-soft design and innovative chore jacket silhouette, it's everything a modern work suit should be: stylish, versatile, and unapologetically contemporary.

The Petrol Cotton Casual Suit: A London-Made Essential

Crafted from premium brushed cotton, the Batch 06 Petrol Suit is tailored for men who want to look sharp without conforming. It's more than a London suit—it's a redefinition of modern menswear:

Relaxed fit with modern tailoring
Soft hand-feel cotton that wears like your favourite hoodie but looks like a tailored blazer
Chore jacket-inspired design for a laid-back edge
Breathable and durable, making it ideal for long workdays or casual nights out

This is the go-to choice for men who want work clothes that work for real life.
