which inflated at a rate of 0.28%. It is 0.34% percent higher than the 12 months

from March to April indicates that the short term inflation trend in apparel prices
has been up. If that trend continues, we should see an inflation rate for the 12

The USA Apparel Inflation Rate one year ago was 0.45%. Over the last year,
inflation in the apparel price index was 0.79%. The average rate over the last
10 years was 0.59%. Higher inflation over the last 12 months compared to the
average inflation over the last 10 years serves as an indicator that the long
term trend in the Apparel Inflation Rate is up. Inflation expectations should be
adjusted accordingly.

September, 1941. The average annual inflation rate in apparel prices during
that period of history was 2.37%. The highest rate was 23.64%. The lowest rate
