jailhouse rock.

The king knew it all along, that inmate fashion would someday set a tread back into mainstream society. This prison issued style indigo shirt from Obey has got you covered. The construction of this chambray work-shirt can withstand a full days load of breaking up rocks with your mining pick. Attention to detail from the off white painted buttons, slightly sanded off. To the triple stitched finish and straight tailored shirttail hemline. Simply put you'll look stunning rocking this on a regular basis. The concept of prison clothing for the public is not a fairly new idea. In 1986 the influential Rap group Run DMC would wear their white Adidas Superstars "laced-free" during concerts. They eventually were called "Felon Shoes" due to the fact that prison inmates at the time always wore their prison issued shoes "laced-free". The purpose of the "laced-free" look was to deter the inmate from using the laces as a weapon to choke or strangle and also an object to be used for attempted suicide. This reason didn't stop many consumers, giving Adidas the idea to sign Run DMC for a hefty 1 million dollars.
