Defend Black Memories: Lewis H. Latimer Three-panel Historical Black Portrait Hoodie
Defend Black Memories: Lewis H. Latimer. Paying homage to the important but oft-overlooked inventor:
This mid-weight fleece hoodie combines thoughtful construction with a quiet, documentary-style design. The front features a portrait panel and subtle text, while the back carries a small emblem reading “Defend Black Memories,” giving the piece a reflective, archival feel. Soft ring-spun cotton and recycled polyester create a warm, smooth hand-feel that wears in, not out. Practical details—adjustable hood with metal grommets, a roomy kangaroo pocket, reinforced neck tape and double-needle seams—make it reliable for everyday layering. Embroidery options on the chest add a tactile, handcrafted touch that complements the printed imagery. It sits at a regular fit with minimal shrinkage, so it keeps its shape and presence through regular wear.
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.
