FDT Gulf of Mexico Dept of Defense Kennedy Center Embroidered Unstructured Dad Hat

This hat is a pointed protest against Donald Trump’s fixation on renaming, rebranding, and politicizing institutions that don’t belong to him. FDT says it plainly: history, geography, and public institutions aren’t personal props for authoritarian ego or nationalist spectacle. The Gulf of Mexico doesn’t need a strongman’s stamp. Cultural institutions don’t exist to be bullied, hollowed out, or turned into loyalty tests. Government departments aren’t branding exercises.

This message rejects the impulse to rewrite reality by decree—whether it’s floating absurd renaming schemes, attacking cultural spaces, or treating public institutions as extensions of personal power. It stands against authoritarian theater, historical erasure, and the normalization of petty, vindictive politics masquerading as strength.

Set on a classic unstructured dad-hat silhouette, the look stays casual while the statement stays sharp. Low profile, curved visor, and an adjustable strap make it easy to wear anywhere you want your refusal to be visible—without shouting, but without backing down.
