Cool Hunting
Imaginary Foundation Season Eight by Josh Rubin
Like the Imaginary Foundation designs we've come to expect and covet, the latest batch of tees from the San Francisco-based company combines inventive 19th-century-tinged illustrations with irreverent one-line quips. Always a little absurd, the new collection brings in nautical references, vintage stereo equipment, and old-world fonts. Some shirts, like the "Original Nutter" shirt (left), are made using the "Dye Gain" process which creates the one-of-a-kind pattern and lends a silky soft feel.
$30 from the Imaginary Foundation Store.

Imaginary Foundation Sublimation Tees
by Kyle SmallOver at The Imaginary Foundation, the mysterious "Director" and others have been experimenting with t-shirt styles for a while now and the Sublimation series is a new process that makes for super detailed imagery. Using dye-sublimation, the tees can be highly decorative and imaginative; talk about wearing art to its fullest extreme. And what really makes these shirts unique is the fabric:...

Little Zero T-Shirts
Steve MacDonald aka Steve Mac aka ramblinworker is one of my favorite artists, so I wasn't surprised to hear that the band Modest Mouse had asked to use a piece of his artwork for a t-shirt design. Steve asked his friend Matthew Davis, also an S.F.-based artist and skilled web designer, to join him in making shirts. Together the two created a top-selling Modest...

Nat Russell T-Shirts
Oakland-based artist Nat Russell's t-shirts for Mollusk Surf Shop showcase his increasingly recognizable style. My favorites include "Sea Kat" featuring his signature pipe-smoking lion motif, the "Kyle" shirt which has a wavy-bearded man that bears an unintentional resemblance to musician Kyle Field of Little Wings and "Totally Stoked" one of three new designs for women available in two colors. All shirts are printed on...

Yack Fou Tees
Perhaps a play on the French Connection's "fcuk" line, Yack Fou is a playful Berlin label making tees and hoodies imprinted with their deceptive-looking name. Printed on 100% cotton, they're definitely eye-catching. Some of the designs even stand on their own without the gimmicky name, like the lego design (pictured), which also happens to look a lot like the album art on Beck's latest...
