[Toyota's]() new HUF x TRD collaboration is uniquely excellent. Not only are the designs and colors great, but the project goes deeper than hats and t-shirts. You have to see this Toyota Truck bathroom rug. Naturally, everyone reading this will be familiar with Toyota, and its performance arm [Toyota Racing Development]() (TRD). HUF Worldwide, however, is a skate brand that car people might not have heard of. Well, it started as a boutique selling unique clothing in San Francisco circa 2002, became a skate brand, and has since evolved into more of a lifestyle brand that makes cool-looking stuff at the "well-employed childless impulse buyer" price point. I am a huge sucker for car-themed crap, retro off-road, and the aesthetic of the 1970s, '80s, and '90s. It's been a few years since I've owned a Toyota but I think it's safe to say I'm squarely in the crosshairs of this little product campaign and will probably not resist copping a rug or a hat or a shirt or three. They're doing a dang Ivan Stewart Christmas sweater for crying out loud.

A few of those items are available in a couple of colors, so if you're keen, check out the [HUF Worldwide website]() after November 9 (that's the release date) for the whole range of options. Toyota's [press release]() didn't specify pricing, but that will of course be public on Thursday once these items go up on the HUF site. Based on what I know about these brands, I'm guessing the prices will be spendier but shy of outrageous. I bet they'll have shirts under $40 and some long-sleeve stuff under or around $100. Toyota is presenting this project as "‘70s graphics inspired," which I guess applies to the general aesthetic as the vehicles depicted are clearly from the '80s and '90s. [TRD]() was, in fact, around in the '70s so as far as I'm concerned the multi-era mashup is OK in my book. To be honest, I'm getting a little weary of the synthwave radi-cool retro-future aesthetic that has been everywhere these past few years. The soft-focus subtly of the '70s matched with some crowd-favorite cars from the later era I just mentioned is a great combo, and I'm happy to see a car-brand fashion collab that gets me excited. Hey, Toyota, do a GR86-themed one next! *Got a tip?
