Octopus T-Shirt, Heather Grey

A t-shirt can be hard to appreciate, because a good one lets you forget you're wearing anything at all. This time, don't forget to be grateful. The pared down design is just enough to keep it from being another solid color, and the cotton construction is, predictably, a dream.

Since 2005 Mollusk Surf Shop has been providing the San Franciscan beach scene with clothes and boards that have helped form the neighborhood's distinct style. In 10 short years the company's central surf shack has gone from a simple store to a nexus of creatives, where surfers and artists from the area come to cross-pollinate and further an always evolving community.
