Of course my occasional clothing reviews go against my concept of living simply and refusing to be drones to mainstream trends. But many small companies produce hip and original products that are worth noting. Plus who wants to be seen out and about with the same crumpled Abercrombie shirt that 20 other people are wearing?

Tooling around in San Diego over Christmas I found a couple shops selling Affiliate Clothing.  And it turns out after returning to Denver two friends received them as gifts. Affliction makes originally designed t-shirts, and jeans which stand out and carry their own style. Their sister company 925 Jewelry makes biker style ring, dogtags, and pendants. And for the ladies they design under the name Sinful.

I find their the long sleeve t-shirts to be the most well designed, or maybe I’m partial to them during the winter months…  They’re carried at the retail store Metropark. More stores and catalog at Afflictionclothing.com

p.s. To Affliction:  What’s wrong with showing some heads in your photos?  I think these long sleeve Ts make guys and girls look hot.  Let’s see them…
