It's pretty sick how you can make it look like a vest over a sweatshirt.

Pants are being prototyped for next year. They'll also be custom in that you will be able to switch out parts.

Never worry about slicing your pants again, and no more ducktape...

In a severely over saturated industry, how are you differentiating yourself? How are you different than the other stylish outerwear brands out there? Do you offer something that no one else is? Just curious, the jackets look nice. And I am always a sucker for zip off sleeves.

Thanks for asking. We're a custom outerwear brand, offering a way to change the style or fit of your jacket daily.

Switch out the sleeves for cotton (hoody) sleeves or for different colored sleeves. We plan on having flannel, down, soft-shell, and other material sleeves in the near future.

Tear a sleeve or get sick of your jacket? No problem. New sleeves and a different color hood can change the style of your jacket with just a zip.Jacket doesn't fit you right? Well you can put any size sleeve on any size jacket, customizing your fit.

Yes, there are a few other companies that are similar, but we have a slightly different style and feel like we bring a different dimension with soft-good sleeves and custom fit.

We plan on doing something similar with pants next year.

So you want me to pay $269 for a 10k breathable shell that in XL is only as tall as my medium oakley jacket, that isn't seam taped, and that comes with pointless cotton sleeves? Thanks but no thanks

Thanks for your feedback. The price is comparable with other products with similar materials and features, plus we include the cotton sleeves and hood (which I understand you don't care for).

We are only making 300 jackets this year, and with the low quantity comes higher costs for us. Unfortunately that meant cutting out taped seams. In the future we will do that as soon as we can.

With the sizing, you make a good point. Although I've never seen a medium jacket with 34" front length, we are considering a 2" grade rather than a 1" grade which I think would be better, so thanks. That would make the XL have a 35" front, and a 37" back; which is more comparable to other company's sizing.

Thanks for your feedback, this is what we need to get better.

Designs look sick, hope it works out. Just wondering what the sizing is of your hoodies and tees? I'm guessing the fit on them is pretty standard compared to normal clothing, but I could be wrong.

They are a standard fit. Long enough but not necessarily a "long fit"

you should make the pants zip off at the knees so they can be snow shorts. Also then you could make it so they had flannel bottoms to zip on.

Jackets look sick. Cotton sleeves seem swell for casual brisk evenings or spring time shredding. Best of luck!
