Our Story

Growth is a form of patriotism.

We make casual clothing for people who still believe that what's worth doing is worth doing well — and that the work of a country is, in the end, the work of its people.

What we make

Heavyweight cotton, honest leather, brass that ages like a memory. Garments designed to be earned, not displayed. Our pieces are cut for the long haul: reinforced where it matters, softened where it should be, and built to look better at five years than they did at five days.

Why we make it

We started American Leaf because the clothes that mattered to us — a grandfather's chore coat, a father's duck canvas pants, the cap a friend brought home from overseas — weren't being made the way they used to be. Garments had become disposable. We wanted to build something that endures. Something rooted in the values that shaped the people who shaped us.

Where we make it

Wherever possible, on American soil. Our denim is woven in the Carolinas, our canvas comes off looms in Pennsylvania, and most of our pieces are sewn in family-run shops in Los Angeles, El Paso, and Maine. When we have to source overseas, we do it transparently and we tell you why.

Half goes home.

Half of every dollar of profit we earn is donated to charities supporting United States veterans. That's not a campaign or a quarter or a marketing line — it's how the company is built. See exactly where your purchase goes ›
