H STREET BRIDGE FOAM TRUCKER

This year we introduced new additions to our H Street NE capsule collection at our pop-ups leading up to the festival. Now we’re making those items available online, starting with our H Street Bridge Foam Trucker Snapback.

Inspired by the H Street Bridge NE (Hopscotch Bridge), constructed in 1977; the bridge carries H Street NE over the railroad tracks behind Union Station and into the neighborhood corridor.

The trucker cap spells out in all caps ”H STREET” in an arch reminiscent of the bridge, nesting above “NORTHEAST D of C” as the bold graphic typeface at center front. Available in blackboard, citrus, neon-lime, pimento, and purple.

There’s no place like H Street NE!

Upcoming Pop-Ups + Community Fun

We’re popping up in the city this September, and we’d love for you to join us! Come shop our latest pieces in person, connect with us, and enjoy incredible community events filled with music, food, and culture.

Here’s where you can find us:

FREE D.C.: A PROTEST BY DESIGN

Home Rule is essential to the D.C. Statehood movement. Show your pride in the people, culture, and community of D.C. and support the fight for full representation. 

DC citizens have limited sovereignty, with the federal government, particularly Congress, retaining ultimate authority over the District's budget and local affairs despite the Home Rule Act. While residents elect local officials and a nonvoting representative in Congress, they lack voting representation in the Senate and full control over self-governance, leading to ongoing advocacy for DC Statehood to achieve full rights and self-determination. 

Join our protest by design by rockin’ our Home Rule Then Statehood Now t-shirt inspired by the Home Rule demonstrations and protests of the 1960s and 70s, from the heart of our nation’s capital, amplifying the message across the country! Change the District to a State and change the world!

Learn more about the FREE D.C. movement for self-governance by following @freedcproject • freedcproject.org and @dcvote • www.dcvote.org.

MABUHAY! CHEERS TO A NEW YEAR! 

Salamat Friends,

Thank you to everyone we’ve had the pleasure of gathering and building community with last year. We were blessed to be a part of so much, and embraced by so many, including you!

We’ll be on a brief hiatus until after the MLK Holiday. All orders placed online between now and then will begin shipping Monday, Jan. 27th. Previous orders will be fulfilled by Monday, January 13th. Thank you for your patience and patronage.

Should you be looking to get your hands on something right away, please visit our retail partners in D.C., Steadfast Supply and Shop Made In D.C.

While on hiatus, we’ll share some resources on how to sustainably clean out your closet, reduce, recycle, reuse, and upcycle so you can make the most of what you already have before updating your wardrobe.

Community. Culture. Commerce. Always in that order.

Mabuhay! Cheers!

-C. CARDi
