Wearable, usable artifacts from the road

Portland Water Bureau T-shirt

$27.99

We found this Portland Water Bureau utility cover while walking the city and did what any reasonable traveler does when confronted with particularly handsome municipal infrastructure—we stopped cold and took a picture of it. The guy texting on his phone behind us was not amused.

The original cover has been reversed here, turning the raised lettering and geometric details into a bold graphic that feels almost like an old civic seal. PORTLAND OR WATER gets the starring role, surrounded by two discreet roses, a nod to the Rose City no matter what those Bridge City advocates mistakenly believe.

Printed on a soft cotton tee, it’s a little piece of Portland that quietly announces who’s responsible for the water beneath your feet. Bull Run, baby.

Municipal infrastructure—finally getting the merch it deserves.
