Defend Black Memories: Frederick McKinley Jones Unisex, Garment-Dyed Tribute Sweatshirt

Defend Black Memories...Wear history with resolve and pride. This sweatshirt carries the story of Frederick McKinley Jones — a self-taught engineer from Cincinnati whose inventions changed how food and supplies moved across the world. The design invites curiosity: a soft, garment-dyed finish, subtle embroidered detail where a chest insignia might sit, and a half-moon neck patch that hints at crafted utility.

Put it on, and you feel grounded, like you’re part of a lineage of makers and problem-solvers. It works alongside mornings that start early and late-night shop sessions, for museum walks or conversations over coffee.

The relaxed fit and medium-heavy weight settle around you without fuss, while quality stitching and low-impact dyes keep it wearable and responsible. This is a celebration of ingenuity, grit, and the simple satisfaction of something well-made.

Each historical portrait piece comes with a QR code that takes you to a brief bio about the person or erasure event depicted on the garment.
