Funny Architect Hats

Architecture is the rare profession with its own wardrobe, sleep schedule and vocabulary, and this collection wears all three. Students are known for disappearing for days into the studio, and the all-nighter is such a fixture that ArchDaily readers reached almost complete consensus that closing the studios only moves the problem from the studio to students' homes. Architects dress in black as a deliberate way to minimize distractions, and at Notre Dame, graduates build model buildings and attach them to their caps. Licensure is its own ordeal: the ARE exam has a reported average pass rate of roughly 54 percent. These funny architect hats poke fun at the pretension from the inside. I'M NOT ARROGANT I'M JUST AN ARCHITECT is the line architect caps already sell on, and it gets a second colorway here. Others cover the black-clothes wardrobe, sleeping under the desk, designing spaces instead of rooms, and the inability to walk into a building quietly. Two plain badges, ARCHITECT and ARCHITECTURE STUDENT, anchor the search terms, and FORM FOLLOWS FUNCTION and BRUTALISM IS BEAUTIFUL fly the proud flags of the profession. Every design is custom embroidered on an unstructured dad hat. Pick one for a graduation, a licensure win or the studio mate who still hasn't gone home.
