Despite being a New York label through and through, Left Field NYC sources materials for its American-made products from all over. Mount Vernon Mills in Georgia for fabrics and labels, Georgia for its custom Scovill hardware, and for this release, right down in Louisiana for blacked-out 14oz. selvedge denim from Vidalia Mills.
That’s right, Left Field’s latest Mule Skinner Jacket is out in its stealthiest form yet, thanks to this black-on-black selvedge denim from Vidalia. If you’re not familiar with the Mule Skinner, it’s a unique denim blouson that blends the one-pocket, pleated design of a Type 1 with the slightly longer silhouette and handwarmer pockets seen on later Type III truckers. The result is a proprietary Left Field design that’s a real neck snapper. Especially in this sexy black selvedge that’s going to develop smokey grey fades as the years roll by.
Everything down to the leather neck label is murdered out except for Left Field’s custom Scovill pick-and-shovel buttons, which appear in the brand’s signature contrasting green. Open the jacket up and you’ll see that those buttons are leather-backed, and even the button nails are green cast. You’ll also see interior pockets made from custom Left Field bandana fabric that depicts the brand’s iconic coal mining branding.
Quality, details, story, and heritage — all the hallmarks of a truly special piece of selvedge denim garb.
Made in the USA and available for $295 from Left Field NYC.
