“Respectfully, This Is Still Chocolate City,” set in a flowing script across the chest. DC used to be called Chocolate City. There's been a lot of gentrification, but for us, the culture is still Chocolate City.
Created by student artprentices in YEI's 2026 MBSYEP program at the YEI studio, from the prompt “Respectfully” plus something DC or Native. One of the top three concepts.
Printed on a heavyweight fleece pullover hoodie: 7.6 oz/yd², 70% combed ring-spun cotton / 30% polyester, with a drawcord-free hood. Color: Brown. Sizes S–3XL.
Produced by paid interns in the SYIP program at the YEI studio in Ward 7. Every purchase supports paid creative workforce training, apparel production experience, and entrepreneurship education for DC youth through Youth Entrepreneur Institute.
Made to order: typically ships or is ready for free pickup at the YEI studio in 7-14 days. Need it sooner for an event or another reason? Please reach out to us so we can prioritize your order. A rush fee may apply.
