Specifically, the products that most notably do this are the ‘Through The Wire / Behind The Bars’ hoodie, as well as the ‘Criminal Justice’ tee.
As for what to expect from the garments, both of the offerings arrive with a heavy and cosy feel. To be more precise, the tee turns to a graphic split in two for it’s aesthetic, the second part of which boasts a negative effect.

As for the graphic on this piece, negatives of barbedwire, a CCTV camera and guard dog have all been combined into one trippy image. Constant Distraction state that it’s a reflection of the stories silenced by the system.
