Poor Righteous Students Clothing (“PRS”) is rooted in the concepts of humility, wisdom, and culture expressed through artistic designs and styles. Why the name Poor Righteous Students?
The word Poor symbolizes the concept of humility and the need to stay grounded in a materialistic world. We feel that a person’s worth is not based on how much money they have, but what they do during their lifetime. The word Righteous symbolizes the idea of leading a life focused on doing good and increasing the good in the world. The word Students symbolizes the concept that a person never really ceases to be a student even when they become a teacher. If knowledge is infinite then the learning process never stops.
The idea for Poor Righteous Students was born in February 2009 by Ben Jones and Kyle Mosley. Already friends from their college days at the University of Illinois, Ben and Kyle partnered up to merge their talents and create the PRS brand. Kyle had experience designing shirts for his own brand KMos, as well as for businesses and organizations within Chicago. Ben had aspired to create his own clothing and sneaker line in college, but never developed a concept that he could put his heart behind.
After college they went in different professional directions, with Ben going to law school and practicing law for a firm in Chicago, and Kyle focusing on marketing and sales. In the early months of 2009 Kyle and Ben met and brainstormed ways in which they could merge their talents to create a new and unique brand. They realized that if they put their passions together, they could develop a culture through clothing that would encourage the minds of the masses.
