Cool Hunting
Mining the rich historical era of 19th century NYC, Barking Irons' fifth collection features the same flawlessly-executed designs that made us fans in the first place. From the emblem-shaped "Honey Bee" design (an homage to speedy fire fighters) to the heart-and-tiger combo evoking the patriotic society and the native chief they were named for, each tee is like a mini history lesson entitling the wearer to a little secret knowledge—and they look good too.
As an exclusive offer for Cool Hunting readers, Barking Irons is offering 50% off their tees for a limited time. For the next week (until Monday, 16 April 2007, 11:59pm EST), follow this link and enter the username "coolhunting" and the password "bombrones" at the prompt to shop!

Spring has sprung and summer is hot on its heels, and when I think summer I think t-shirts and when I think t-shirts nothing comes to mind quicker than those that are buttery soft and vintage-inspired, like those from our good buddies at Vintage Vantage. Choosing to do things right and develop their own t-shirt fabric from scratch, combining clever slogans and quirky graphics has...
New York is abuzz with the Burkman Brothers and their debut menswear collection for Spring 2009. We visited the Canadian twins Doug (above left) and Ben (above right) Burkman in their NYC penthouse showroom, where we saw highlights from the Spring 2009 collection and the full Fall 2009 collection, which we've got here exclusively for you in these Cool Hunting Rough Cut videos. The...
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...
