On a casual Friday afternoon such as this one (mid-January, a nip in the air, white-gray sky overhead, just about the time the post-lunch doldrums set in), we’re feeling extra appreciative of the soft cotton, simple silhouette and no-brain-power-required versatility that only the best t-shirts can bring.
In that spirit, we went on a hunt for enviable t-shirts by local independent labels. Here are five for which we’d gladly trade the shirts on our backs.
From top: White shirt with mink stole and pearls, Free Gold Watch; Busted tee, Nooworks; Code Green shirt, Binary Winter; Ohlone Chiefs Mission Dist. t-shirt, Gangs of San Francisco; Needs More Wolves tee, Headline Shirts.
