Left Field NYC

We believe a brand story is a huge part of why people identify with a brand. I originally wanted to do a gritty East Coast Version of Levis "Gold Rush". Growing up in Philly, a couple hours away from the Anthracite (hard, cleaner burning coal) Capital of the world there is nothing tougher or grittier than a coal miner and that would be the perfect untold story to tell thru our jeans and workwear. All through out the garment reflects this inspiration from the branding on the Vegetable tanned leather label, to the pick and shovels on the buttons and the back of the tacks. Our letter pressed pocket flashers have an image of a Coal Miner. Our Work Uniform label is inspired from an image of a old Coal Breaker factory. Our pocketing is a reduced version of our Coal Miner bandana that we have rotary pigment printed in America. If you are able to come to our store you will see an authentic Pennsylvania Coal Cart, real Pennsylvania Anthracite, antique mining tools to Coal Scrip(company store money) to a child's leather mining helmet.

We felt we needed to give back to the Coal Miner Community and have set up a donation link as well as merchandise where all profits go to https://aclc.org/ A law firm that represent coal miners and their families on issues of black lung and mine safety and works to protect the environmental impacts of Coal mining on the surrounding Appalachian communities.

Left Field was started on a credit card out of a small apartment on Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn. Every step of its growth I was personally a part of, from carrying rolls of fabrics in the back of my Jeep, up and down elevators in the Garment District, to climbing over bags of clothing to get out of bed in a illegal loft in Greenpoint to sewing in garment labels on my dining room table. We are not a Shark Tank Finance bro concept backed by hedge funds we are and have always been self funded. Organic growth has been our vision and all money made just goes back into better upcoming products. It's been a hell of a rollercoaster ride from 911 to America's worst recession to the pandemic. We continue to move forward with one mantra. Make the best denim and workwear cut and sewn here in America just like we have done for the last 25 years.
