INFIELDER DESIGN is a Japanese brand launched for Spring/Summer 2013 by designer Hironobu Iguchi (井口浩伸). Named after the baseball term for an infielder, the brand focuses on everyday fashion accessories such as hats, socks, bags, and gloves. Its core approach is to translate the designer’s personal interests into products and to seek ways to give back to the baseball world that helped shape him. It is one of TAMANIWA’s original brands, also produces licensed items with MLB, and maintains a commitment to Japanese manufacturing for most of its products. Product offerings are still evident today.
