{     Worn Free • o8'     }    

Remember when Iggy Pop was heard in places other then stupid cruise commercials? To steal a line from an old favorite of mine, “those were the days.” What can possibly be done to remind yourself that Iggy isn’t a corporate shill? Why don’t you say, revisit his musical catalog and while you’re at it invite the Iggy of old into your life. No, I’m not going to give you the schematics to a time machine (I just know you’d create a time paradox and destroy the universe). Instead I’m going to direct you to a really cool place Crown Dozen mentioned once before, Worn Free.

Back with some new flavors, Worn Free has managed to recapture those cool moments in the days of rock gone by. If you go to the site you’ll see Worn Free has some pretty high profile customers but don’t let that discourage you. Sure, I hate Entourage too but that doesn’t mean it should dissuade you from getting that amazing Steve Marriott “Wild Thing” tee or the Iggy “Dublin Sound” offering. Remember, if Daniel Johnston wears them they must be doing something right.

Seriously though, these are top notch tees with a truly innovative design premise. It’s not just reproduction, it’s reconnection. Music will bring you back, but when you hit the off switch to your stereo (or iPod, whatever audio tech you’ve embraced) you can be sure to pay tribute to your rock idols by picking up one of these babies. Top notch is no exaggeration either, with some real quality going into their production they’ll last through wear after wear and only come out looking cooler then before.

Drop by Worn Free and take a look at their new additions and do it soon.

*UPDATE: As of 2/11, the Worn Free line has informed the "Wild Thing" shirt is not currently available to purchase. Please check their site regularly to see if/when it will return to the line up.
