Cool Hunting

In Spanish, the word 'lee' is the third person conjugated form of the verb 'to read'. This witty pop culture double meaning is from Frank Lourenço, an extravagant t-shirt designer based in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The other shirts displayed on the site are just as quirky, funny, and some out right bizarre. A combination that rightly reflects his rather fantastically questionable life. Unfortunately, these shirts are currently only available in Buenos Aires.
UPDATE: If you really just have to have it, shoot the people over at Frank Lourenço an email and they'll give you a set of instructions to have it sent to you in the U.S. I must warn you though, it's a bit of snail mail acrobatics. But hey, you'll get your shirt though. $25 for one shirt. $45 for two. And $70 for three.

Absolutely the softest tees we've found outside of the aged threads at Salvation Army are coming from Ohio. The appropriately named outfit, Homage, pays tribute to sports teams and so much more with their clever graphics and nostalgic sentiment printed onto brand new, worn-out cotton tees. Homage began with a license to distribute Ohio State University gear, but with big aspirations and the desire to...
In collaboration with Keep, photographer Tobin Yelland's fascination with his camera has taken on a new form with a graphic tee emblazoned with one of his drawings. Known for taking pictures of skateboarders, like any good photographer, Yelland loves his camera. But unlike most other photographers, he fanatically draws his Leica. He looks for interesting subjects when he takes photos, but when he draws,...
One thing that didn't set 2008 apart was the abundance of tees improving on the classic Hanes. As we tear the final page off the calendar, we reflect on the top five tees featured here on Cool Hunting. We checked back in with Klaus Industries whose irreverent brand of political satire makes us grin on the outside even while we wince on the inside. Toward...
