The clothing company was presented as having the &#8220;perfect polo shirt&#8221; \u2013 but was it enough to get the sharks to bite? Find out what happened after the show below. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">Baobab Update<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>1) Brandon Davenport and Marcellus Alexander III are the co-founders of the clothing company. They are <a href=\"https:\/\/baobabclothing.com\/pages\/our-story\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">longtime friends<\/a> who found themselves annoyed that high priced clothes didn&#8217;t last long after wash cycles. So, they made it their mission to change that. Their goal? Create an &#8220;undeniably better&#8221; polo shirt. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"nv-iframe-embed\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Baobab Polo Shirt\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_VHT8qAZclY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>2) Brandon and Marcellus developed the first sustainable, luxury polo shirt that doesn&#8217;t shrink or fade. They even have a patent pending &#8220;stay flat&#8221; collar aka: no more curled shirt collars! Combining high quality design (shirts are made with pima cotton) with superior functionality is what makes their polo unique. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3) Currently, they have <a href=\"https:\/\/baobabclothing.com\/products\/baobab-short-sleeve-polo-shirt\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">short<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/baobabclothing.com\/products\/long-sleeve-baobab-polo-shirt\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">long<\/a> sleeved polo shirts available. Colors include black, navy, heather grey, white, light blue, red, emerald, and army green. Short sleeve sizes range from S-4XL; long sleeved ranges from S-XXL. They are selling out, so shop now! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CTYBuRXBQwC\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;
