"Alife Rivington Club and seminal sportswear brand Mitchell & Ness recently got together to collaborate on one of the labels signature items, the Varsity jacket. Done in black and white, with either purple or red highlights, the jackets represent both brands rather nicely. A great piece for the Winter season."

CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: Sometimes, although I might respect and adore a particular brand and their work, I still will rarely wear any of their garments. My deliberate decision to shun such labels usually comes from an accute disdain for the type of people who wear the brand rather than any actual problem with the brand itself. Case In Point: A-Life Rivington Club.
Much like Supreme (which still, through heavy product quantity control, manages to keep 99% of their items über exclusive) and Crooks & Castles, A-Life Rivington Club doesn't typically pique my interest because it, along with the other aforementioned brands, has become the "go-to" shit - indeed a hipster "starter kit" of sorts - for any lame-o looking to buy his or her way into the "Downtown" scene. Livestyle is all about exclusivity, so I will always elect to go with the less than obvious choice.
With that said, these ARC x Mitchell & Ness collabo varsity jackets are simply too good to ignore my nigga. 1) I L.O.V.E. varsity jackets and 2) the attention to detail, from the "158" on the sleeve (a clear nod to A-Life's 158 store address on Rivington Street in Lower Manhattan) to the overall construction of these jackets is sure to be on point fuckin' with a classic sportswear company like Mitchell & Ness.
A-Life consistently has flavorful pieces, but this release could be a real game changer for me. Stay tuned.
