Buddies hit it big with their preppy activewear

“We’re entrepreneurs. We have crazy ideas,” says Robert Noe Jr. “We’re pretty unpredictable.”

While they were busy studying business and economics — Noe at University of Rhode Island and Mugford at Union College — these budding fashion entrepreneurs launched a company called Custom Universe that will reach $1 million in revenues this year. So perhaps their ideas are not so crazy after all.
