The Story Behind

Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. began its journey on January 9, 1914, at Howard University. Founded by A. Langston Taylor, Leonard F. Morse, and Charles I. Brown, the organization was built on the principles of brotherhood, scholarship, and service. These three founders envisioned a fraternity that would remain inclusive and deeply integrated into the community. Over the last century, the fraternity has grown into a global powerhouse, influencing civil rights, education, and social justice. This cap honors that founding date, keeping the spirit of 1914 at the forefront of your style.

The distressed finish on this cap mirrors the grit and resilience required to maintain a legacy for over one hundred years. The embroidery features the iconic crest and the fraternity name, rendered in crisp thread that stands out against the deep navy cotton. Every fray on the brim and every stitch represents the long hours of service and the dedication to the Blue and White. Wearing this piece connects you to the lineage of men who have walked the path before you.

Care and Maintenance Guide

To keep the embroidery sharp and the cotton structure intact, avoid machine washing or tumble drying. Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dust or lint from the fabric surface. If the cap requires a deeper clean, spot treat the affected area with a mild detergent and cool water using a clean cloth. Allow the cap to air dry naturally away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading. Keep the shape by placing it over a rounded object while drying, ensuring the front panels remain crisp and the brim retains its intended curve.
