Two notes. The first, I don't like the name. These are defensive measures against adversarial systems. Calling these clothes adversarial clothing implies they're the bad guys and the tracking system are the good guys. The second note is more of a question... where are they available?

Edit. Misspelling

    Last time they were in the media, I found their web site. That ugly sweater cost over a hundred Euro (don't remember if it was two or seven, but at that point it no longer matters).

    I'm hoping for such patterns to become open source (and less hard on human eyes).

    They are hard on human eyes and also very obvious to human eyes is a major problem. I am hoping for there to be regular clothes that allow for strong facial-recognition/AI shielding that is futureproofed, but at the same wouldn't be so obvious to regular human observers.
