Anticon Hoodie
We're trying to get more details on this great new hoodie from France. The hood has a zipper and eye holes, which allow you to completely cover up your face in inclement weather—or when you just want to look like Kenny from South Park, Spiderman, or terrorize young children and bank tellers.

More than just a clever play-on-words, LA-based architects Fung + Blatt's Lawnchair melds conceptual art with outdoor comfort for those who don't mind a few grass stains. Upholstered with rolled sod, a built-in "moisturizing" system helps irrigate while avoiding run off.
