Squarewolf Tees
by Ami Kealoha
Portland-based design studio Fwis just launched their line of tees called Squarewolf. Characterized by humor that plays on graphic design (like the pictured tee, titled WFF'd), they also feature guest artists - currently, Stefan G. Bucher of 344 Design. Using Gildan 100% cotton, fair trade and labor shirts and printing at local silk screeners Modified Printing, Fwis is as socially conscious as it is design savvy. As Fwis honcho Chris Papasadero says, "along with some of our other projects, like Readymech and the book covers blog, Squarewolf is a project born of love."
All shirts are $18 and available from Squarewolf.

This week at Refinery29
by Josh Rubin
This week at Refinery29 we get a sneak peek at an ALIFE exclusive—a limited edition lambskin and satin Members Only racing jacket (only 120 have been produced). Finally the Members Only brand has lived up to its name! Another moment we have all been waiting for is the final installment of Refinery29's holiday gift guides. This edition focuses on the Lower East Side and East Village selecting the best that those neighborhoods have to offer, giving you a leg up on the competition during the final holiday gift-buying scramble. One gift that everyone seems to love is new music and the 10 Albums That We Loved in 2005 list is great place to start if you want to buy someone a CD that they haven't already heard ad nauseum this year. And lastly, take a look at the new DAVIS shoes collection that is inspired by a passion for comfort, style, and technology.
This Week in Tropolism
by Josh Rubin
1. We had some words about an exhibition at MoMA, and why the New York Times will call France but not Spain for interviews.
2. We played with blocks, or, as they are known these days, psycho-social building experiences.
3. We listen in on an interview with SANAA, the architects who designed the new New Museum.
Dunhill PSP Case
by Evan Orensten
This case from Dunhill is one of the hottest we've seen. Carry your PSP in leather-trimmed water resistant canvas, with pockets for your gear and a strap to keep the player angled when you're watching flicks.
Available Online in the UK for £85. Also available at Dunhill stores.
