Left Field Jeans

[sombrero]

@LeftField, how does the italian indigo/indigo feel?  About to pull the trigger but really dug the initial crunchiness of my pair of the old run of cone indigo ducks.  So just wondering if these would meet my "crunchiness quota"...maybe that's strange. Thanks!

Was that an LF crazy tee on this week's Girls?

Yes. Haven't seen the episode, but they filmed in Gentry a few months ago.

haha I saw the same thing. My girlfriend gave me so much shit for instantly recognizing it.

[jyoni]

Nice, I don't watch the show but I definitely want to see it!

 

Well, the finishing touches on the sweatpants are done.  Whew, this was a labor of love.

 

It's an LF varsity letter, embroidered by hand with chainstitching.  Love the stuff LF is doing with their embroidery and wanted to try a simple piece by hand.

And...there's a belt!

Damage is from scraping off dried construction glue and the material thinning more and more over time.  Imminent rips:
 

 

Roughed out patch:

 

 

Sewing the patch.  A backstitch looked too goofy with all the chainstitching so it's chainstitched as well.

 

 

 

Finished and cleaned up, with a couple extra pics, and one of the belt!

 

 

 

[jyoni]

oh here's one of the patch in progress

@jyoni I have been really digging the chainstitch embroidery stuff from LF and seeing you do it by hand is just crazy. That hand sewn patch is very cool. The way you drew attention to a spot that was about to be an "eyesore" to most people is awesome. 

I really need to come up with something cool enough to get embroidered by LF...itching to get something done for myself after that badass eagle on Instagram.

[Segovia]

@Jyoni ...that's just crazy cool!

[Engineer05]

Favorite jeans ever.  They're starting to shed indigo along the inseam and back pockets.  I'm going to bring these and my Candiani Greasers to SoCal next week for work.  

 

[jyoni]

Thanks guys! 

 

@FormulaPfaff, isn't their chainstitch embroidery nuts?  The eagle is great.  I have things I would love to have them do for me.  I'm sure you'll come up with something cool.

My thought on the chain stitching to just order a jacket and tell them to go wild, I'm sure they could come up with some cool stuff too!

@sombrero the italian have a really deep indigo with a slight rich purple hue.  they are not crunchy but not as soft as the nep. The colab with Black Blue have a stiffer feel and are indigo/black Collect denim, they are here but waiting for Steve to give us the checkered flag.

We get a lot of inspiration from old tattoo flash for the embroideries, since it's the same kind of vibe. Killer work Jyoni, have you quit the day job yet?  

[FrooShonTay]

I just picked up one of the Chambray Work Shirts. I find it to be quite scratchy. Is there a good way to get rid of this? Would washing it in some warm water help?

Yeah, wouldn't that be nice    Maybe someday.  Thanks dude!

[Left Field]

@froon they will soften up from wear it's kind of like raw denim since they aren't washed. They are also very heavy, 12 oz compared to to most JP brands use 5 oz. 

[pchoden]

The BlackBlue collab is in? Awesome, guys, very anxious to see these ...

[Left Field]

yep, just waiting on order confirmation for BlackBlue. denim and label is really sick! 

[Curious_George]

Will the Black Maria Chelseas get restocked at some point? I've been thinking about picking up some new black jeans but will probably need a 32 in the Chelsea fit.

[Left Field]

I am ordering more fabric tomorrow for the Black Maria, but prob won't be finished for 8 weeks or so.

I think we have a pair at BlackBlue if you want them.

Christian & Co, when can we expect a new supply of the Choctaw Ridge long sleeve henleys (in various colors) to arrive in the webstore?  Chicago winter is winning...

I took a quick shot of my sweats the other morning. No washes yet.

is there a color or size you're looking for? We should have some at BlackBlue.

[bumrush]

I'm looking for size M in any of the colors (with the exception of red).

[satchelbmoore]

I'll be in touch when i get into the shop on tuesday. I'm pretty sure we have natural and blue indigo stripes in M.

[spaceghostcoast2coast]

Any of those henleys in L?

[Formula Pfaff]

Yesterday I had a nice reprieve from work thanks to the ice that came to Fort Worth Sunday night. Here's a couple pics of me in my sweats walking around the "winter wonderland" and enjoying some cider outside on the porch. 

[guthriegking]

Just out of another wash as of a couple days ago. Took these all in direct sunlight and then in the shade, I'm sure you can figure out which is which.

question for you guys @ LFNYC - are your tubular knit t-shirts the same thing as loopwheeled? 

 

Also - have you considered making a v-neck t-shirt with no pocket. I'd buy. Thnx
