Product
Please wash your hoodie, hat or denim jacket by itself. You should ensure that the garment is turned inside out first. It should be washed in cold water and on the gentle cycle. This reduces the chances that the patch will get torn up in the washer while washing.(Varsity Jackets are Dry Cleaning Only!)
Shipping
We utilize USPS. Your product will come via United States Postal Service.
When your order is placed, you will receive an automatic confirmation email. Your order will process, and when it's ready to leave our Distribution Center you will receive a second email with tracking information for your shipment. Please refer to our full Shipping Policy for current processing times and available shipping methods.
Note: Receiving a shipping confirmation email does not necessarily mean that the carrier has picked up your package from our Distribution Center. Depending on the shipping method selected, please use the carrier’s tracking features to determine when your package is picked up, in-transit, and delivered to your door.

My HBCU Matters is not responsible for applicable customs fees, import duties, taxes, or any other charges.
