Powell's Cloud T-Shirt Remember the '80s? (If you don't, you're too young; we can't fathom the idea that anyone born after the '80s is even old enough to read yet, so please lie about your age and just say yes, you remember the '80s.) Well, they're back, or so we're told. We hope that mullets and acid-wash jeans will not be returning, except as ironic accessories of the ultra-hip, and even then we hope they'll stay away. But this 100% cotton Powell's T-shirt reminds us of the best part of the whole decade: owning a fun T-shirt with a cloud on it.

Powell's Women's Chandelier T-Shirt We stood as one in the ballroom, each of us with one hand caressing a flute of champagne and the other guiding a book aloft. It was a strange party, so silent and yet so absorbing. Then, at the stroke of midnight, the chandelier descended from the ceiling and a flock of blackbirds took to the air with a great beating of wings. None of us knew what any of it meant, but we admired its elegance... much as you'll admire the elegance of this long-style, 100% pima cotton Powell's Chandelier women's T. Because the finest things in life are esoteric.

Phys. Ed. In a perfect book-lover's world, letterman jackets would be awarded on the basis of most classic books read. Heroes would be anointed not for throwing balls through hoops but for comprehending the densest works of experimental literature. Imagine the possibilities with this Powell's athletic shirt, where the true stars of campus are all hanging out in the literature department — and wearing this 100% cotton ringer tee.

Asphalt (Men's Fit) Asphalt! Men love it: love to walk on it, spit on it, roll over it with their 4x4s, or shatter it beneath the stuttering tip of a jackhammer. Men, pay homage to your lifelong love for asphalt with this sturdy asphalt T-shirt for men. It's made of cotton (asphalt refers to the color, not the material), but you'll look so strong and rock-solid that everyone will think you're wearing asphalt.

Asphalt (Women's Fit) The slate blue-grey tint of this shirt reminds us of the wintry Oregon rain, when it's pouring outside and we're inside, warm and dry, sipping a cup of something hot and delicious, curling up at the window with a book we can't stop reading, laughing at the rain. Sometimes the rain laughs back, and that worries us. But we're not afraid: we have our asphalt T-shirt to protect us from the rain's madness.

Park Ranger Ferocious and enormous, the hungry Grizzly bear towered over the entire patrol. Children ran shrieking, which only enraged the beast further. We fought the bear as best we could, dodging its massive claws and lunging clear of its gaping jaws while trying not to hurt it, and in the end, when the mighty Ursa lumbered away with a disgruntled whimper, we stood victorious in our American made, 100% cotton Powell's Park Ranger T-shirt that had miraculously survived intact.
