Defend Black Memories: Elijah McCoy Three-Panel Design Hoodie-Historic Black Portrait Pullover

Defend Black Memories Collection: Elijah McCoy invented the Dead Man Handle, which allowed emergency stopping of train cars and is still in use today. Ever been delayed on the train because the emergency brake was pulled? That's the Dead Man Handle. Imitators tried to take his shine, but manufacturers wanted the "Real McCoy"!

A midweight fleece hoodie built for everyday wear and quiet statements. The roomy kangaroo pocket and adjustable hood make it an easy layer for walks, study sessions, or late-night city runs. The soft 3-end fleece and ring-spun cotton exterior feel gentle against the skin while holding print and embroidered details crisply. A historical  Black portrait on the the chest and a modest back print—lets the design speak without shouting. It settles comfortably into a regular fit and retains shape thanks to twill neck tape and reinforced double-needle seams.

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.
