Straight Out of Left Field

Posted July 23, 2017

In their latest lookbook, Left Field NYC do what they do best – channel that New York City attitude.

If you’ve spent any time in NYC, you will know what I mean when I say, the New Yorker attitude. It is part style, part attitude and part swagger. As indefinable as it is impossible to replicate if you’re trying too hard. The boys at Left Field NYC are steeped in it, which is glaringly obvious when you take a look at their latest lookbook.

Left Field is a contemporary spin on everything that earned NYC its notoriety; cool, confident, aggressive and timeless.

Jack of All Trades

The great thing about this shoot is that we get to see the whole gamut of garments that the Ridgewood-based brand produces. They make some dope denim for sure, but that’s only the tip of the iceberg. With the same care and attention mixed with the aforementioned attitude, they turn their attention to T’s, shirting, outerwear, chinos and even sportswear.

Something to Say

The pieces come together perfectly and bring with them the sense that this is a brand with something to say about quality, style and home-grown talent.

Take a Walk

If you want to experience first hand the character that shines through on these shots, we heartily recommend stopping by the Left Field store itself and spend some time walking the streets around about.

Matt Wilson

Before turning his attention toward clothing and fashion, Matt Wilson was a product designer. He witnessed first-hand the unethical manufacture of products designed and developed specifically for obsolescence and quickly recognised the inherent dangers of this attitude towards consumerism. A happy chance occurred when he discovered Raw Denim. Fascinated by the narrative contained in each garment, this newfound passion led him into a journey of discovery through the fashion and clothing industry. The qualities he found in a great pair of jeans he soon found in other garments, shoes and accessories. Up until February 2017, Matt was heavily involved with Selvedge Run, a trade show for menswear, shoes and accessories. A home for brands with a philosophy that aligned perfectly with his principles of craft and quality at the core of a good product. He now shares this passion the as the Editor of Rope Dye, an online men’s lifestyle magazine about the passion for well-crafted menswear as well as other cherished products and designs that baulk against today’s throw-away culture.
