Apartments & Inflation Bucket Hat

Apartments & Inflation captures a very New York reality—where housing, money, and survival are permanently intertwined. The embroidered seal reads like an official city department that doesn’t exist but absolutely should, referencing the quiet stress of rising rents, shrinking space, and the constant recalculation required just to stay put.

Set on an olive green cotton twill bucket hat, the piece feels utilitarian and lived-in—something you’d wear while walking blocks, scanning listings, or riding trains thinking about numbers that never seem to go down. The bucket silhouette offers practical coverage from sun and rain, built for a city where weather and pressure are equally unpredictable.

This hat isn’t loud—it’s observational. A uniform for navigating a city where ambition runs high, costs run higher, and humor becomes a survival tool.

Official-looking. Unofficially accurate.
