Drifter - Combining Style, Function, and Comfort

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.

Their men's FW 08 line of clothing features 8 designs including both short sleeve and long sleeve shirts. These designs include the Scribe- a double layered design that looks like a short sleeved shirt being worn over a long sleeved shirt. It is made of 60s Supima cotton, and incorporates a unique Drifter graphic. Another similar design is the Chief. This is also a double-layered, long sleeve shirt that comes in one color: black vapor. The Siren is a white short sleeved T-shirt that displays an interesting design meant to be reminiscent of WWII America. Finally, the Seer T-shirt is the only blue shirt included in the clothing line and is made from 100 percent American Pima cotton.

Their men's SS 08 clothing line features the popular Godspeed Shirt which they are famous for. The Godspeed is 100 percent cotton and features an eagle design and comes in either black or white. It comes in both short sleeve and long sleeve designs. Another design in the collection is Meter. This is a red, short sleeved shirt that with a V-neck cut. Progress is another short sleeved T-shirt; it is navy with a light blue design and also is made of 100 percent Pima cotton. There is also the Brigadier hoodie for those colder days. It comes in dark gull grey and incorporates two large pockets and the signature Drifter image. Other designs in the collection include: Deta, Stryper, Trent, Adam, Twenty Seven, Palehorse, Dragonfly, and many other.

Finally, the women's SS 08 line of clothing includes a diverse line of tops. Besides the long sleeve Godspeed shirt, there's the Tropics which features a grey, sleeveless peasant top design. Psyche comes in a special coral color and features a wide neck with a drawstring. There are also the Pebbles and Unwritten designs which are more of a standard T-shirt design. Pebbles is white with a light blue, feminine design, and Unwritten is blue with a small flower image. There are many other designs to choose from such as Hey, Input, Striking, Tulips, 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.
