The phrase “Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer” was the departure point for the latest t-shirt in the-affair’s quest to clothe the creative men of this world in something that not only looks good, but starts intelligent conversations.

If Machiavelli didn’t actually say it in 1513, he sure did mean it. Instead we had to wait till 1974 and Don Coreleone, who was actually far better at getting to the point than poor Niccolo. So to cut this short, your enemies can always be counted upon to be just that. Unfortunately your friends often cannot.
