According to Joe Freshgoods, the new collection aims to pay tribute to the sights and sounds of growing up in a black household in inner-city Chicago, where the designer was born and raised. The headlining piece is undoubtedly the wool varsity jacket, which features an extra-large 'J' logo and text on its chest reading "Forever Quietly Winning."
