Ishan Sharma’s social media post on the jacket went viral with many asking him not to buy merchandise from the store.
An Indian content creator was surprised to find “Made in Pakistan” merchandise at Harvard University in the US. Ishan Sharma, who has been documenting his trip to the US via his social media channels, said he visited the prestigious university to purchase some merchandise.
When he arrived at The Harvard Shop, which is a student-run merchandise store at Harvard, he was taken aback by the price tag of the jacket and the label that indicated that the clothing was manufactured in Pakistan.
He posted photos of himself wearing a Harvard jacket and shared videos of his visit on YouTube. A picture shared on his handles showed the label which read “Made in Pakistan”.
“Came to Harvard to buy merch. This one’s ₹ 12,000! But Made in Pakistan?!” Sharma posted on X.
Quality is real bad. I picked a few last year and 2-3 washes and they all are now good to mop the floor. Official merch.
