ABOUT THE HAT 

Tombolo collected (read: hoarded) the 'Large Y' NYC Subway Tokens that were in circulation from 1970-1980, amassing 500 over the course of a few years. Each hat features an original token with the infamous cutout 'Y' detail -- we've cut out the underlying 'Y' in the fabric so that light shines all the way through. For more on the history and evolution of NYC subway tokens, see the comprehensive list here at nycsubway.org.

SIZING 

One Size Fits Most (adjustable snapback that fits head sizes 6 3/4 to 7 7/8)

Care & Composition

Avoid machine washing and drying, which can alter the shape of the hat. 

Soak in warm water with laundry detergent or OxiClean (a stain remover) added. Spot clean as needed with a toothbrush. You may add shampoo to the toothbrush as you scrub out stains. Go gentle on stitched seams. Rinse out soap and air dry.
