Hey NS,
I've been working on developing some dope outerwear for the freeskiing community. Nice, quality, slim fit outerwear. Fabric used is just sample fabric and not final production colors, color combos will be eye appealing. Company dropping soon! Heres a sneak peak

So dope! Waterproofing/breathablity? IMO pants shouldn't have pockets that are really low because its a hassle to get stuff. If you make a pair of slim snowpants, I may be interested.

waterproofing and breathability is most likely going to be 15,000 if not 20,000.  The company is still working on color combos so feel free to share any input!

Damn, seems legit! I'd buy a vest off you, if you're planning on offering them separately.

Bloom Outerwear is the name.

Choice of name you ask?
Well, I have grown up in the skiing community my entire life. I have also been a member of sports teams. Skiing, however, was different from other sports. Sports were over when practice or the game ended. However, skiing spilled into all aspects of my life from my friends to the clothes I wore. Skiing as helped me develop a sense of identity. Skiing has helped develop my character and lifestyle. I feel that those of you reading this can agree with what I am saying. I bet that skiing is more than just a sport you particpate in. I bet a lot of you, as you grow into young adults, will develop a sense of identity that in some way has something to with skiing. Skiing for me has noticeably helped my friends and I "bloom" into adults. In that sense, nothing would make me more happy than to give to the community that has helped my friends and I develop our identity as young adults.

Definitely make like a green/black, dark blue/black, stuff like that that isn't too flashy but still looks nice. Maybe a 1 color torso and different color sleeves ands hood, ect.

just don't give away too many details, especially concerning what will separate you from the other companies and make you stand out. speaking from personal experience here- keep that stuff close to your chest.

I feel the complete opposite. My Orage Jam Tweed pants have cargo pockets all the way down to the ankles almost and they are so useful and easy to access... Much more comfortable to have shit in your pockets down low than on your hip.

The only thing I don't like about the jacket is the sleeves. They look awkward zipped on, they almost look too thin/ looks like the arm hole is too small. The pants look sick though! Excited to see more.

I've got 2 cargo pockets at the every bottom of my Orage Baltimor pants as well. They look sweet with the different colour, but I would never use them. Maybe for food though.

The pant cuffs do look a little too narrow as well now that some one mentioned it. If you could get a hold of a pair of 2xl cross pant, they are the best fitting pants I have ever worn. I love mine.

Yea those are really low, I probably wouldn't use those either. The ones I have are like mid calf, at the knee, and a little higher than mid thigh and they are all perfect.

My Moment pants have a pocket at the knee for season pass and another pocket for other things, I like that one.
