HUF Three Hundred T-Shirt - black

HUF is the streetwear brand opened in 2002 by the late pro skater Keith Hufnagel (1974–2020) in San Francisco's Tenderloin — born as a boutique store, now one of the defining skate apparel labels in the western world. T-shirts, hoodies, sweatshirts, caps, beanies and pants carrying the iconic H logo, the Plantlife line and regular Thrasher collabs.

Heritage — from Brooklyn Banks skater to streetwear brand

Keith Hufnagel started skating at the Brooklyn Banks in New York as a teen, turned pro in California in 1993 with Fun Skateboards and later with Jim Thiebaud's Real Skateboards. In 2002 — on a suggestion from his then-wife Anne Freeman — he opened the first HUF Worldwide store in San Francisco's Tenderloin. The store first carried Supreme and other boutique labels alongside skate art. By 2007 HUF had become a lifestyle brand in its own right. In late 2017 Hufnagel sold HUF to TSI Holdings. Keith passed in 2020 — the brand continues, with a clear line back to its SF skate roots.

What sets the brand apart

HUF stands for skate streetwear with real pro-skater roots. Keith Hufnagel wasn't a designer who invented a brand, he was a respected SF pro — and that still shapes the pant cut, tee fit and the choice of collaborators (Thrasher is skate-magazine DNA). HUF pairs naturally with brands like Polar or Parlez — and the apparel works with skate setups from Krooked, Real or Spitfire.
