Anticon Hoodie
(12 October 2005) - We're trying to get more details on this great new hoodie from France. The hood has a zipper and eye holes, which allow you to completely cover up your face in inclement weather—or when you just want to look like Kenny from South Park, Spiderman, or terrorize young children and bank tellers. We love it and will update you when we learn more. From...

TranStrap
(23 September 2005) - I think of riding the subway as urban snowboard practice; I'm also a bit of a germaphobe. This usually results in a wide stance with back to doors and hands in pockets. But sometimes the ride is particularly bumpy or I'm just not in the mood and this results in the uncouth pulling of a shirt sleeve over the hand to provide a barrier...

Weber One-Touch Gold Grill
(19 June 2005) - Although we here at Cool Hunting realize that stereotypes are so not cool, we also understand that sometimes they exist for a reason. My dad loves to grill, my friends' dads love to grill, and chances are yours does too. So, in observance of Father's Day 2005 (here in the US), we pay homage to one of the classic designs of the 20th century, one...

Pare Umbrellas
(27 April 2005) - I don't think I've ever really owned a quality umbrella-- or an umbrella at all for that matter. If I were to get one, I'd naturally want to get a quality one, and Pare's new Spring-Summer collection definitely gets my nod of approval. Natural Pare is out of Seattle, and they are inspired by the huge unique selection of umbrellas in Tokyo-- where an...
