Quality and Stylish
This is the best HBCU apparel that I’ve purchase in years. They got it right with the style, the quality and fit. I absolutely love the polo style shirt and my favorite is the crop top sweater. I wore the cropped sweater at an HBCU party and I had people from others HBCU’s as well as my own complementing me on my look, admiring the quality and details—I wore the polo shirt during CBC week in DC and immediately got the same compliments as the sweater. Great job designing these quality and stylish looks. I’m looking forward to ordering additional styles and colors.
