Apartments & Inflation Windbreaker

 A civic warning label for bad weather and worse economics.

The Apartments & Inflation Windbreaker Hoodie is built for the kind of days New York knows best—sudden downpours, sideways rain, and long walks home when umbrellas surrender. A tongue-in-cheek parody of the NYC Department of Sanitation, the oversized back seal reads like an official notice: rising rent, rising prices, proceed with caution.

When the sky opens up mid-block, this is the layer you’re glad you grabbed. The lightweight, water-resistant shell cuts wind and rain while staying breathable enough for movement—whether you’re sprinting for the subway, waiting out a storm under scaffolding, or biking home through misted streetlights.

The center pouch pocket below the quarter zip becomes clutch in real life: a dry place to stash your phone, keys, MetroCard, or folded cash when the rain hits hard and fast. Hands cold? Duck them in. Wallet at risk? Zip and go. It’s designed for function disguised as simplicity.

The single-layer body keeps things clean and packable, while the mesh-lined hood and scuba neck seal you off from drizzle creeping down your collar. Matte hardware and reversed zipper tape keep the look sharp, even when the weather isn’t. 

Built for scenarios like:

• Getting caught in a sudden cloudburst halfway across the Williamsburg Bridge
• Walking ten blocks because surge pricing feels illegal
• Standing under an awning watching rain flood the curb
• Late-night bodega runs in steady drizzle
• Commuting through mist, wind, and mild existential dread

Aptly named. Rain-ready. City-approved.

Because in New York, you don’t wait for better conditions—you dress for them.
