It’s one accomplishment to work both sides of the political aisle. It’s another to count the opposing political bodies as happily paying customers.

Unionwear, a union-run hat factory, has been busy for months stitching together the baseball caps that have become emblematic of both Kamala Harris’s and Donald Trump’s respective presidential campaigns. The Newark, New Jersey-based company churns out 5,000 hats a day, sometimes exclusively for the Harris campaign. The first batch of camouflage hats with bold, neon orange lettering sold out in 30 minutes. In 24 hours, Unionwear sold 25,000 of those hats. The company has so many orders to fulfill, it plans to ship hats deep into November and beyond—regardless of the election’s victor.
