DETROIT, May 18, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Today marks the launch of an all-new socially-conscious clothing company called Certified, a premium sweatshirt brand. The new concept, from subscription business leader and serial entrepreneur Chris George, goes far beyond the popular one-for-one give-back model of some fashion brands. Instead, Certified will donate 100 meals to Feeding America for every product sold.
"What I love about this brand is that it combines two things that never go out of style--fashionable hoodies and giving back," said Chris George, founder and CEO of Certified. "I really wanted this next business venture to help millions of people. It may seem like an ambitious goal, but I am excited to work towards it with the help of our growing Certified community."
For today's launch, the Certified brand's products include two signature hoodies: one with the word "Certified" emblazoned across the chest and another with the word "Verified" in the same position on the sweatshirt. Each quarter, Certified will drop new styles that received positive input from customers via social media (@getcertifiedwear on Instagram) and other feedback channels. The first quarterly drop is estimated to drop in December 2021. A t-shirt line is also in the process of being designed with an estimated rollout happening in summer 2021.
Certified will donate meals to Feeding America monthly based on the number of sweatshirts sold in that respective month. The Certified community will be able to track the amount of meals donated on the company's website.
According to Feeding America, millions of Americans struggle with hunger and food insecurity daily. The effects of the coronavirus pandemic have only added to the food inequities faced by so many. In fact, many people are one paycheck away from facing hunger, which has the largest impact on children, seniors and members of the BIPOC community. Feeding America is working to address the structural and systemic causes that disproportionately impact these marginalized groups.
The Certified brand's inaugural hoodies can be purchased on getcertifiedwear.com for $100 each.

As the next staple in streetwear, Certified fuses fashionable loungewear with authentic, socially informed purchasing. The basis of the product lineup includes two signature hooded sweatshirts with words "Certified" and "Verified" across the chest in Certified's trademark colorways of red, white and black.
