EBBETS FIELD FLANNELS FOR J.CREW

Since 1988, Seattle-based EBBETS FIELD FLANNELS® has made authentic reproductions of vintage baseball gear, right here in the USA. To celebrate an exclusive collaboration

with them, J.Crew flipped through the encyclopedias of our nation’s pastime.

The BROOKLYN BUSHWICKS were the top semipro team in the nation during

the 1930s and ’40s, and they had their own stadium—Dexter Park—in Queens

The MOHAWK GIANTS were one of baseball’s great independent black teams. Based in Schenectady, New York, they played from 1913 to 1940. The OSAKA TIGERS, founded in 1936,

were one of Japan’s earliest professional teams. They played in the iconic Koshien

Stadium, which has an all-dirt infield.

Founded in 1878, the BUFFALO BISONS—based in Buffalo, New York—played in the

International League from 1918 to 1970. 

The logos of the BISMARCK CHURCHILLS, DAYTON DUCKS,

KANSAS CITY PACKERS andBROOKLYN EAGLES appear on

Ebbed's Field Flannels for J.Crew ball caps.

During World War II, many of the nation’s best ballplayers played on military service teams like the San Francisco-based SURF RIDERS, whose members were in the Coast Guard.

Generally considered one of the best minor league teams of all time, the HAWAII ISLANDERS began in 1961 when the Sacramento Solons moved to Hawaii.

TODD SNYDER IS A CHAMP

This fall New-York designer Todd Snyder teams up with Champion. For this collaboration, 

he decided to take a look at the history of the company and examine some of their catalog covers from the past. Champion, was established in Rochester, New York in 1919, Brothers Abe and Bill Fainbloom founded “The Knickerbocker Knitting Company” which later became Champion. Focusing on producing a heavy-duty cotton, which they patented as Reverse-Weave, the Fainbloom brothers manufactured sweatshirts and later jerseys. Designed originally for athletes, but in the 60s, Champion was seen more and more around the Campus and worn by Ivy-hipsters. 

Drawing from Champion’s vast amount of sales catalogs and vintage samples, Todd Snyder added his handwriting on classic pieces by tailoring them with a modern twist. The full collection includes garment dyed t-shirts, vintage thermal long-sleeve crews, sweats, merino wool varsity sweaters, and much more. All styles of the 35 piece “City Gym” collection carry an authentic 1950’s Champion label with “T.SNYDER” stenciled in the back of each garment – reminiscent of the Champion gym uniforms worn by Todd in his school years.

EDDIE BAUER - AIN'T MOUNTAIN HIGH ENOUGH

In 1963 Jim Whittaker, in partnership with Sherpa Nawang Gombu, became the first American to climb to the roof of the world and summit Mt. Everest. He did it outfitted in Eddie Bauer down. On that same American Mount Everest Expedition, Tom Hornbein and Willi Unsoeld completed the first successful ascent of the challenging West Ridge route, which remains one of the greatest achievements in the history of mountaineering.

To celebrate of the 50th anniversary of these triumphs, Eddie Bauer returned to Mt. Everest in 2012 with two teams of world-class, high-altitude climbers, an entire line of award-winning, guide-built First Ascent gear, and a mission to retrace the steps of the historic American achievements on Mt. Everest. The mountain again revealed its power and proved that, five decades later, Everest still represents adventure in its grandest form. (Read the full story here)

BASEBALL KNITS FROM THE PAST

From 1869 when professional baseball was founded to 1925 these jackets were a key part of any team’s uniform, worn during the latter months of the season when temperatures began to dropp off.  Up until 1898 all sweaters were actually shipped in from Scotland, but overtime teams switched over and began employing a small batch of American craftsmen (and women) who would knit them by hand.  During these early days of baseball each team had their own distinct sweaters, that either copied or contrasted their regular jerseys, with their team logos proudly emblazoned on the front.
