AA: The Big Pink Factory by Josh Rubin
While here in LA I took the opportunity to visit the factory of one of our sponsors, American Apparel. While I already knew they were a socially responsible and totally hip place, it was fantastic to see it in person. It has been a long time since I've met such a happy, enthusiastic and hard working bunch of people. And it shows in the product. It has been said before, but they're the next Gap, only better. I hope their morals, ethics and practices are a model for big businesses everywhere.

Solid Gold Rags T-Shirts
by Valery JosephThe designers behind Los Angeles-based Solid Gold Rags are sparing us the search for the perfectly worn-in t-shirt with a new line of beautifully tattered tees. Screen-prints of pop-culture icons—French singers and muses Françoise Hardy and Serge Gainsbourg front two of the collection's pieces—the almost criminally soft shirts. Co-founders Perry Shimon, and Oliver Kupperhe seek to create quietly personal, everyday pieces that...

Cavern Tees
by Gabriel Bell Ironically named for a line so bold and bright, Los Angeles's Cavern is the creation of fashion-school friends Adam Tullie and Angeline Rivas. "When we first conjured Cavern," says Rivas, "our focus was to make solid, hand-drawn T-shirts." While the market is glutted with such wears, particularly on the West Coast, the duo was determined to distinguish themselves. "Everybody is making...

Just over a year old, the Baltimore-based line Squidfire now boasts a whole range of goods hand-printed on manual presses with their original designs. In addition to Vans (actually hand-painted), messenger bags and a line for kids, they've recently introduced hoodies, like this "Workout" sweatshirt (pictured left, $45) that features overlapping images of a smiling 70's-era muscleman in red, blue and black on grey....

Moonblood
Drawing on Native American and Egyptian imagery, Philadelphia-based Moonblood tees are the handiwork of RISD alum and former Urban Outfitters/Free People designer Amy Eldon. Made in small editions, her hand drawn graphics are in keeping with Moonblood's use of Alternative Apparel and American Apparel tees and "a fascination with imagery evoking the feeling of places and spaces." Many tees feature blends, like a poly-cotton-rayon,...
