We'll always have love for the LBD (come on). But right now, we're more in a LSD state of mind. That would be Last Summer Days, a just-dropped graphic-tee collection from NSWest Co. It's a cool, laid-back tribute to the dog days of summer in San Francisco. For your viewing and wearing pleasure, here's an exclusive first peek at the SF-centric tees for guys and girls.
Taking inspiration from the Golden Gate Bridge and the bison of Golden Gate Park along with the Grateful Dead and iconic Victorians, the new tees hiply transmit the hometown love— a hallmark of the Oakland-based label. Additionally, all shirts (in the $30-ish range) are designed by locals and printed in San Francisco.
