MADE BETTER, LAST LONGER

Every product created has an environmental footprint, from the materials used to the way it is produced can impact the environment. Our goal is to lessen our footprint by using better materials and efficient manufacturing.

For over 30 years League and Legacy have been known for making high-quality products that our customers love. Everything we design is made to last and meant to be worn for a lifetime. We use only the finest fabrics, cut and sewn with only the best materials, and produced with unwavering attention to detail.

We believe that wearing something timeless, original, and well-made will last longer than wearing something that is ultimately disposable. Wearing a garment for just 9 months longer shrinks its carbon footprint by 30%.

RECYCLED MATERIALS

In 2017 we started using recycled plastic yarns (rPET) from REPREVE® by creating apparel and headwear assortments that continue to grow each season. Last year our REPREVE® product helped us diverted over 1.5 million plastic bottles from ending up in an ocean or landfill. 

Our focus on creating more sustainable products continues to grow, and we began working with our factories with the goal of transitioning our top-selling collections to be made more sustainably.

As we launch L2 Blue, we continue to use more recycled polyester over virgin polyester (which is petroleum/fossil fuel based) by moving apparel and headwear collections to being produced using recycled polyester. This year we are converting over 30% of our product assortment to being made more sustainably and will continue to seek and source more sustainable fibers and fabrics.

WATER BASED INKS

We define waste as any cost incurred that does not add value to our customer. This mindset translates to us aiming to do things right the first time, and always looking to improve our processes.

The fight is endless, but we believe in taking the right steps, with ongoing continuous improvement in every step of the way. We thoughtfully design product by using efficiencies in fabric platforms - finding fabrics we love and building collections around it.

We continue to evolve our production process with the war on waste in mind, and by using LEAN principles we have implemented processes like an ink recirculation system - a process which reduce consumption by 20%, and waste by 90%. Inks are disposed of using a third-party environmental service - not put in a drain.
