However, some noted sizing runs large, particularly for women, and a few mentioned concerns about the print application and price point relative to material thickness.

i love my cecil williams t-shirt! i tried it on and can't wait to wear it. the material is soft and comfortable, the colors are vibrant, and i am proud of the statement it makes.
i have to admit, i am not really a clothing shopper, and spending $60 on a t-shirt is definitely not something i would normally do. but i view this as not only a t-shirt but also supporting the cecil williams museum and the work you do at 'actively black.' thank you for your meaningful partnerships and promotion of our culture.

I love the feel of your shirts. They are soft! The M size was a bit bigger than I thought but still looks nice. I absolutely love the Cecil Williams shirt and am wearing it in front of my students tomorrow for assembly when I talk about 2026 being the centennial of Black History Month!

The quality of the shirt was not worth $70. The collar was thick and the photo seemed ironed on and not good quality. I was very disappointed.

I love this shirt and the conversations this shirt starts. I love the way I can watch someone become uncomfortable in real time as they realize what it means and then using that to start positive dialogues. Please offer all of your unisex items in XS!

I purchased the Cecil Williams x Actively Black Lifestyle Shirt, and I have to say this piece exceeded my expectations on multiple levels.

First, the fabric's quality stands out immediately. The material feels premium, soft, breathable, yet structured enough to hold its shape after wear. It doesn’t feel like a typical lightweight tee; there’s a noticeable durability that suggests it will last through repeated washes without losing integrity.

Second, the fit is on point, especially for a 2XL. It provides a comfortable, relaxed feel without looking oversized or sloppy. It sits well on the shoulders and drapes cleanly, which makes it versatile for both casual wear and more elevated, layered looks.

Most importantly, the message and collaboration behind this shirt carry real weight. Representing both cultural identity and legacy through fashion is something I value deeply, and this piece does that with authenticity, not just as a design, but as a statement.

If I had to offer one piece of feedback, I’d love to see even more details provided upfront about fabric weight (GSM) and construction, because the quality is there, it just deserves to be highlighted more.

Overall, this is more than just a t-shirt; it’s a well-crafted, meaningful piece that I’m proud to wear and support.
