Blake Hamster: Release 001 by Tim Yu
Blake Hamster's first release of shirts combine fresh graphic design with an innovative blend of organic cotton and Seacell, a new yarn with seaweed elements that impart anti-inflammatory and moisturizing agents to the wearer.
The fabric feels like any other tee and produced in very limited quantities (50 per style) with limited circulation, you can be assured that you will be the only one around sporting it. Tailored in Italy by the renowned Confezioni Barbon (they manufacture clothes for the likes of Marni, Jil Sander and Chanel, among others), Blake Hamster follows strict ecological and sociological production guidelines.
A collaborative effort by a network of designers, artists and photographers, the Munich-based group is more of a design collective then just another t-shirt line. While Blake's release 001 is made up of four male and four female shirts, next time it could be anything from sweaters to a collection of household wares. For more info and to purchase the shirts (starting at €100), visit Blake Hamster Sartorial.

429 Life
For me, basic tees all come down to comfort and cut. Made of super-soft pima cotton, 429 Life's t-shirts, polos, and henleys are hard to beat for their simplicity and attention to detail. Light and breathable, they're great for those really hot summer days and small side slits add an athletic appeal. Recently presented at the Pitti Uomo tradeshow to great fanfare, Cool Hunting...

Klaus Industries
Twenty-two years ago the year 1984 came and went and we were all supposed to breathe a collective sigh of relief. We weren't faced with a perpetual war with shifting adversaries; our own citizens were not being detained and held indefinitely without charge; dissenting voices were common in the mainstream media; and partisan debate was not branded as disloyalty to the nation. Arguably, in...

Rock N' Clothing Tees
The collectable desirability of vintage Rock and Roll t-shirts nears that of sneakers. In the case of the Rock shirts however, the thinner and closer the garment is to the end of its life the better. A Mötley Crüe tee, owned by a slightly chubby and sadly misunderstood teenager, only to be used later by her mother to clean toilets, simply adds to the...
