Cool Hunting
Celebrating today's long-awaited launch of Nau's online store, Cool Hunting readers have the exclusive chance to win one of their well-engineered, eco-conscious garments.
Making their activewear available for the first time on the web, the flash-based site has all the tricks you'd want for buying clothes online with zoom-in capabilities, size guides and plenty of other details to inform you about your purchase—a must when it comes to Nau's design innovations. The experience gives a good sense of the cuts and features that make their garments the ultimate examples of form-meets-function good design, like water/windproof shirts that go from bicycle to boardroom.
Nau online will also work in tandem with their planned "Webfronts," scaled-down retails spaces meant to encourage the shopper to do their buying online, which are slated to open this spring.
Exclusively for Cool Hunting readers, Nau is offering the choice of any one item from their current line. To enter, go to the contact form at the bottom of the page, choose "Nau Giveaway" from the pull-down menu, send us a note and we'll choose a winner at random. The giveaway will end this Wednesday, 7 March 2007, 11:59pm EST. We've chosen a winner! Thanks to everyone who entered.

Two years ago Klaus Industries proclaimed that 2006 was the new 1984. While the fledgling experiment of democracy is still fledgling, the Portland, Oregon-based company has expanded their line of irreverent and humorous wears. Aside from an update on that particularly ominous theme, these hand-dyed printed shirts extol the tough-guy Abe Lincoln and the need for some domestic humanitarian intervention. “Our shirts are intended...
