I hate, despise, loathe, and any other verb that offers the connotation of disgust designer fashion. Having worked retail in a land of Juicy Couture, Ed Hardy and Affliction, I know that they are expensive, often poorly constructed and worse yet, uncomfortable. Now, I never thought I would do what I am about to do: recommend shirts that are between $36-$55. But, Worn Free (www.wornfree.com) shirts have made a believer out of me. If you are really into fashion but can´t afford those high priced items, check out these fashion deals, fashion coupons, fashion promo codes.
Taking designs that I have seen on some of my idols (Joey Ramone, Lester Bangs, Joe Strummer) and licensing them properly, they have now put them on some of the most comfortable t-shirts I have ever owned. I have worn a couple Worn Free shirts for a couple of months now and have found that the not only haven’t faded, they also haven’t fallen to shreds, shrunk or fallen out of my regular rotation of clothing. My only recommendation: there is a tag on the side inside the shirt. Cut it out. It pissed me off. Now? Perfect.
May I make a few suggestions? The Chris Stein Super Shark or the Dee Dee Ramone Snake Farm are both the next ones on my list. For you types worrying about Worn Free being made in a sweatshop in China or carrying Swine Flu from Mexico, fear not, they are printed and made in sunny California.
