Drifter - Bringing Together Form and Function in a Simple T-Shirt

By Carissa Jenner

Drifter began in 2002 with the main purpose of combining three aspects - functionality, style, and comfort - into every article of clothing they produce. When Drifter's designers begin a new project, they always start with the basic T-shirt design, and then break it down and completely rebuild it from the ground up. While doing this, they infuse it with their own style of art and creativity.

First, there is the men's FW 08 clothing line. This line of clothing is smaller than the others and only features 8 designs to choose from at the moment. Altogether there is the Scribe, Chief, Siren, Glory, DOA, and Seer designs. Scribe and Chief are long sleeved shirts that feature the double layered look which appears as if a short sleeved shirt is being worn over a long sleeved shirt. It's a popular style among the youth age group. Each features the signature Drifter image and is made from 100 percent cotton. Glory is a steel grey short sleeved shirt with an image that represents the ongoing power struggle in Columbia.

The Men's SS 08 line carries a much larger selection to choose from, such as the popular Godspeed design which is an old favorite that was brought back due to popular demand. Also available in the line is the Quentin, a simple blue polo with a small image on the top back. Twenty Seven is a short sleeved navy T-shirt which features a skeletal design as a tribute to the rock stars who died at the age of 27. Pale Horse is a simple white T-shirt that has a large horse design and barely noticeable stripes. Some other T-shirts that are available in the Drifter SS 08 clothing line are the Catalyst, Meter, Ex-Libbers, Bully, Jared, Progress, and Venom.

Last to be discussed is the Women's SS 08 line which presents a whole host of beautiful, unique designs that are sure to draw attention. First, there is a female variation of the classic Godspeed design which is white, available in long sleeves, and includes a gold eagle design. 'Hey' is a cute, yellow tank top design with a white image which is made of 100 percent cotton. Input is a double layer design which features a tank top over another shirt that is a bit larger. It is sleeveless and comes in steel and crystal grey. Other designs in the line include: Carine, Dawn Trailing, and Space Suit.

Simplicity is always their main focus as they base each shirt design off of the original T-shirt which they consider to be the zenith of clothing design. Drifter is available for both men and women. The Drifter line of clothing is an ongoing process, with new designs being introduced and older designs disappearing every day.
