Yarn Stripe Crew, Nippon Blue

The classic striped sweater recieves a west-coast treatment from the Cali-based team at Mollusk Surf Shop. It's cut from 100% garment-dyed cotton, with a weight that's more substantial than your regular long-sleeve, but thinner and airier than a sweatshirt. The fit's spot-on too — it's meant to be worn loose for ultimate comfort, and drapes beautifully on just about any frame.

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.
