Adriaen Black is a made- to- measure luxury apparel company known for clothing some of the biggest names in sports. Now, Founder Andrew Jang is launching a project to design custom interview attire for teens in New York City's YMCA College and Career Access Programs. Jang stops by with a few of his clients: Oakland Raiders Quarterback EJ Manuel, Jermon Bushrod of the Miami Dolphins, Eric Berry of the Kansas City Chiefs. They explain the challenges they have finding stylish clothes in football-player sizes, and how Jang has helped them out. In December, Jang delivered custom-made winter coats to 370 children at PS 154 in the Bronx. Today, he kicks off his second project, where the Adriaen Black team and Jang's NFL friends will individually measure and begin the design process for each student.
