Affliction Clothing makes graphic tees, hoodies, denim and jackets built around heavy tattoo-style artwork, distressed washes and stitched or foiled details. The brand grew up alongside mixed martial arts and still carries that look.
The two things that decide whether an Affliction Clothing order goes well are fit, because the cuts differ across the range, and care, because the treatments that make the shirts look the way they do also make them easy to ruin.
How Affliction Clothing tees fit
Affliction tees are cut slimmer than a standard American tee, with a longer body and higher armholes. Most men order their usual size and get a fitted look; if you prefer room through the chest, go up one.
The heavier pieces with reversible or double-layer construction fit tighter still, because the two layers stack. Size up on those unless the listing says otherwise.
Women's Affliction Clothing tees are cut close and short. Check the length measurement on the size chart if you want a top that covers the waistband.
Fabric matters: a 100% cotton Affliction tee will shrink slightly on a hot wash, while the cotton and polyester blends hold their size. The composition is on every product page.
Hoodies, thermals and jackets
Affliction Clothing hoodies come in two weights. The lighter French terry hoodies fit like the tees, slim and long. The heavier fleece and the reversible hoodies have more body and a boxier cut, and are the ones to size down if you sit between sizes.
Thermal long-sleeves are the closest-fitting items in the range and are designed to be worn as a base layer under a jacket or open shirt. Buy them true to size and expect them to hug.
Leather and denim jackets from Affliction Clothing are sized to go over a tee, not a hoodie. Measure your chest with the layer you plan to wear underneath.
Denim: cuts and rise
Affliction Clothing denim uses a handful of fits, from a straight leg through a relaxed bootcut to a slimmer cut, with heavy stitching and often embroidered back pockets. The listing names the fit; the size chart gives the rise and the leg opening.
Waist sizes run close to true. The relaxed fits give room through the thigh, and the slim fits do not, so check thigh measurement rather than relying on waist alone.
Inseams are long. A 34-inch inseam is common on Affliction jeans, and the brand does not always offer a shorter one, so budget for hemming if you are under about five foot ten.
Reading the wash and distress treatments
The washes that give Affliction Clothing its look are applied after the garment is sewn. A shirt described as acid wash, oil wash or enzyme wash will carry colour variation from piece to piece, so the item you receive will not match the photo exactly.
Distressed hems, intentional holes and frayed seams are not defects and are not grounds for a return. Foil and lacquer prints crack a little with wear, which is part of the design but accelerates on a hot tumble dry.
Wash Affliction pieces inside out in cold water and hang to dry. Skipping that step is the fastest way to turn a foiled graphic into a faded one.
Shipping, returns and sale items
Affliction Clothing has typically shipped free above a spending threshold, with a flat charge below it. Check the current figure; a small add-on to reach the threshold often costs less than the shipping charge.
Returns of unworn items with tags have generally been accepted within a set window, with sale and clearance items sometimes final. Check the current policy on the product page before ordering something you are unsure about, and keep the tags on until it has been tried.
The Affliction Clothing sale section is deep, with older graphics marked well down. That is where the lowest prices are; a code on top of a sale item is not always allowed.
Where the Affliction Clothing savings are
The 30% code is a holiday-weekend offer and worth trying first on a full-price basket. If it has lapsed, the 20% code is the everyday fallback.
A $15 code beats 20% on a single item under $75, which covers most Affliction Clothing tees. On a hoodie and a pair of jeans together, the percentage codes win clearly.
Codes with a random suffix, like the $15 one here, are usually single-use and tied to one account. Load the whole order before applying, because a second attempt will be refused.
Affliction Clothing generally takes one code per order. If a free-shipping code and a percentage code are both live, work out which saves more on your basket rather than assuming the bigger number wins.
Common questions
Do Affliction Clothing tees run small?
They run slim and long. Order your usual size for a fitted look or go up one for room through the chest.
Are the holes and frayed hems on my Affliction shirt a defect?
No. Distressing is applied deliberately and varies between pieces. Only construction faults such as split seams are return reasons.
How should I wash Affliction Clothing graphics?
Inside out, cold, and hang dry. Heat cracks the foil and lacquer prints.
Can I use an Affliction Clothing code on sale items?
Often not. Try the code on full-price items and compare the sale price separately.
