Levi's And Sky High Farm Land At Dover Street Market LA

The trucker jacket in this collection is stitched with a moon and a strawberry, not a logo. That is the tell. Levi's and Sky High Farm Goods put out an eight piece run of workwear built from organic and transitional cotton, and on Saturday, July 25th, the line lands at Dover Street Market Los Angeles and on the DSMNY E-SHOP. No press conference, no runway lap. Just chore coats, double knee overalls, and a trucker jacket sitting on a rack next to Comme des Garçons archive pieces, in a store that has never needed to explain why something belongs there.

July 25 Puts Denim And Farmland On The Same Rack

Levi's and Sky High Farm Goods are treating July 25th as a coordinated moment, not a staggered rollout. The collection goes live globally through both brands' own sites the same day Sky High Farm throws a farmers market on Bond Street in New York, pulling in growers and food justice groups from the tristate area. On the West Coast, the drop lands at Dover Street Market Los Angeles, the store that hit its own single city exclusive with Palace's Summer 26 Drop 9 earlier this month, and online through the DSMNY E-SHOP rather than a standalone Levi's checkout. That routing is deliberate. Buying the jacket means buying through the market that already decided the brand mattered.

Dan Colen Traded Chewing Gum For Cotton Rows

Dan Colen spent the 2000s making paintings out of chewing gum, glitter, and confetti, building a name in the same downtown New York scene that produced Dash Snow and Ryan McGinley. In 2011 he turned a 40 acre property in Ancramdale, New York into Sky High Farm, a nonprofit that donates 100 percent of what it grows to food pantries and food banks across the state. The farm also runs Sky High Grants, funding BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ farmers, plus a paid fellowship that trains growers on site. Sky High Farm Goods, the retail arm Colen launched with former Comme des Garçons and Dover Street Market staffer Daphne Seybold in January 2022, exists to fund that nonprofit work. The Levi's line is not merchandise bolted onto a cause. It is the cause's revenue model.

Jacron Patches Carry A Moon And Strawberry Stitch

The construction leans on Levi's own archive language. Triple needle stitching runs the seams, custom shanks anchor the buttons, and jacron patches, the waxed paper labels Levi's has used on back pockets since the 1930s, carry an embroidered moon and strawberry in place of the usual two horse brand. The eight pieces include a Type III zip trucker jacket with a quilted recycled nylon lining and bi swing shoulder gussets, a farmers chore coat, a zip workvest, double knee overalls, straight leg jeans, and baggy utility shorts, cut unisex across the board. The denim itself runs on organic and transitional cotton, the category for fields converting off synthetic inputs toward regenerative practice, the same farming method Sky High Farm uses on its own land upstate.

$65 To $225 Funds More Than A Jacket

Nothing in the range breaks $225, and the entry piece sits at $65, prices that read closer to premium mainline Levi's than to what past Sky High Farm collaborations have commanded. That restraint is the point. A trucker jacket with quilted lining and custom hardware sitting at Levi's own price ceiling means the markup is not funding a hype tax, it is funding a farm. Carhartt WIP has run a similar workwear as cause play, most recently skating a jam inside a Berlin brewery museum rather than a storefront activation, but Levi's scale gives Sky High Farm a distribution footprint no standalone nonprofit brand could buy on its own.

You Get This Jacket At Two Doors Only

Dover Street Market has carried Sky High Farm workwear since a 40 piece run debuted through its Paris incubator, and Dover Street Market London stocks the label as a matter of course. Landing the Levi's capsule at Dover Street Market Los Angeles specifically, with the DSMNY E-SHOP as the only online door, tells you which square footage of retail Levi's decided mattered most. Not a mall flagship. Not a general release across every Levi's store. A market built on Rei Kawakubo's instinct for who belongs next to whom, selling a chore coat on July 25th that was stitched by a farm that feeds people who cannot afford one.
