Welcome to Fieldschool.
At Fieldschool, we look at the world as a vast, open field of learning, one big ‘field school.’ Each moment is a lesson, and every person we meet and place we go shapes who we are becoming. Inspired by our travels from opposite coasts to the rugged openness of West Texas, Fieldschool reflects the beauty of discovery and the joy of learning by doing.
We believe in living thoughtfully, with a spirit of playfulness, curiosity, and care for others. To us, clothing is a way of preserving memories and sharing pieces of our story. Each piece we create is a reminder to approach life with open arms, an open mind, and a spirit of friendship.
Mike & Ryan
Nothing Comes From Nothing
The phrase comes from The Sound of Music, a quiet moment in a song about love, grace, and the idea that the good things in life don’t just appear out of nowhere. As two dads who’ve watched the movie more times than we can count, the line stuck with us. It became a kind of creative compass.
Every shirt we make starts with a sketch, a story, or a memory (and sometimes a long conversation about bugs). We use the phrase on several of our products, not as a slogan, but as a reminder: attention matters, and everything comes from somewhere.
Why All The Animals?
They’re not on every shirt, but they show up a lot. Sometimes they’re metaphors, sometimes they’re memories, but they always connect to our story in some way. Animals let us talk about curiosity, place, and identity without having to explain too much. Plus, we like them.
