About Us
What started as a summer side project in 2016 has grown into a collection of designs and stories that feel like home—rooted in the landscapes, legends, and laid-back rhythm of the Pacific Northwest.
Left Coast Life was created by two Oregon natives who met at the University of Oregon. Bonded by trail hikes, taproom conversations, and a love for the beauty of their home state, they set out to capture the feel of life where the coast runs left. What began as a handful of shirts in a basement has grown into a brand that celebrates foggy mornings, forest air, coastal drives, and community connection.
Each product we create is inspired by local lore, everyday adventure, and Northwest wit. We design for the wanderers, the weekend warriors, and the ones who know that the best places don’t always come with cell service.
We keep things small-batch, low-impact, and proudly rooted in the region:
-
We use print-on-demand to reduce waste and avoid mass production
-
We partner with local artists, photographers, and small businesses to celebrate the Northwest style
-
Every design is crafted in Eugene, Oregon by Robert Carlton Designs and a community of creatives who share the same sense of place
This brand isn’t just about what you wear—it’s about where you’ve been, what you love, and who you share it with. From the first snowfall on the Sisters to an IPA on the porch with friends, Left Coast Life captures the spirit of living local and venturing far.
If you’ve ever found peace in pine trees, or comfort in a perfectly worn-in hoodie on a rainy afternoon, you’re already one of us.
🌲 Rooted here. Wherever you may roam.
