The newest ALIFE Summer 2018 collection recently launched, taking on an LES theme to pay homage to its heritage culture. The New-York-based streetwear label ties its new collection back to its downtown New York culture with its newest seasonal offerings. The entire summer range is comprised of hoodies, short-sleeve and long-sleeve shirts, and crewneck sweaters—all of which are produced domestically in local garment industries to support its home.
There are 50 pieces offered in total and they are crafted from 100% cotton three-piece construction with a blend of 12-ounce pre-shrunk fleece material. The new ALIFE Summer 2018 collection also has ring-spun button t-shirts and jerseys, and every item is adorned with branding details.
