Over time, the cotton of these t-shirts erode while the synthetic material remains intact resulting in the perfectly thin, semi sheer summer garment. Use keyword “paper thin” when searching for these things on eBay, Etsy, etc.

Throughout the 90’s, Gap made a masterpiece of a pocket t-shirt. The ideal medium weight, soft 100% cotton, short boxy fit and made in a seemingly endless array of recessive colors that I’m sure brands are still showing to their dye houses as reference today. It’s perfect to me and the only blank t-shirt I wear - my collection probably hovers around 2 dozen right now. If the descriptors above sound appealing to you, I would suggest you seek some out. I’d tell you to come buy them from me but I hoard every one I get so you’ll have to go out and scavenge yourself.

A few years ago Uniqlo U made this perfect long sleeve tee- a little boxy, a pretty heavy weight cotton, chest pocket, inexpensive, checked all of the boxes- i wear them all the time. They stopped selling them sadly soon after (of course) and I had only bought like two of them then. Scouring eBay, depop, everywhere regularly though for more to build up the stock, that’s what you do when you find a perfect item, wearing one right now even

I have to start off this recommendation with an apology, as for all your Northern Hemisphere-based folks wont be able to find this easily as I stock up when I go home to Australia. BUT, in all my years of hunting for the perfect white t-shirt that hangs just right, I have found my holy grail. Specifically, the Boody men’s crew neck t-shirt (NOT the new “classic” which is mostly viscose, ew), bit the original which is 95% bamboo. I buy them in a Small and they are the perfect oversized t-shirt. Buttery soft, expensive-looking and, most importantly, stay looking fresh after they’ve tumbled about in a washing machine. I’m hoarding a few!

October is inarguably the greatest month in NYC. It’s my birthday month, it’s when the leaves begin to turn, and the air feels good on your skin. I like to celebrate all of these things with a sandwich in one hand and a spliff in other, sittin on a park bench. In Tompkins I rock a Foxface smoked rib sandwich and in Washington Square I rock the clean turkey from Court St.

Silver Surfer on PCH just makes sense. Driving through my hometown of Laguna Beach bumping Money Makes Me Feel Better is a really incredible feeling. I drove through Soho listening to Bad Whiskey once and it didn’t quite hit the same.

I read Resistance Through Rituals in this incredible class while studying in London. The book features a collection of essays with titles like: “Style,” “Doing Nothing,” and “The Cultural Meaning of Drug Use.” Really resonant stuff. This book is my Bible and one of my favorite gifts to give. Tom Sachs is in possession of my first copy and I’m pretty sure he fucks with it too.
