The rowing blazer is not new in my wardrobe, I have two. But this one is custom made and reflects my beloved fraternity, Alpha Phi Alpha. I am happy with the ability to tailor the fit and design. The process was a bit too long, many steps should have been built into the initial purchase. I am happy to have a unique APA jacket to wear and represent. The fabric, the cut, the material is authentic and true. I met the representative at our General Convention in Dallas, TX over the summer.
