As with many of Left Field products there is a back story. After WWII and Vietnam a lot of Veterans looked for a sense of adventure when returning back to civilian life and found it in Biker clubs. American bikers emboldened the cowboy lifestyle, Iron horse cowboys, living outside the parameters of the mundane traditional life style and with a sense of freedom that many Americans yearned for. This is what this GI skull head represented to us and there was never any political intentions. Left Field has always been a brand in constant evolution and we have decided that we are moving forward with some new images for our socks as well as the plain old school striped tube socks. In the mean time enjoy a discount on what we have left and look forward to what is to come. Thanks for supporting American made garments and workers!
