Hello Everyone,

We posted about the new Thumbhole Sleeve Opening for 360 hoodie last Friday and got overwhelming feedbacks via comments and messages. Many backers are asking for a more clear picture to compare the difference between the new Thumbhole Sleeve opening and the original Elasticized one. So here we have it. Pls let me know how you feel about it? Thanks.

Help us to make the jacket even BETTER!
about 7 years ago – Fri, Mar 03, 2017 at 08:56:55 PM

Hi Everyone,

We have received many feedbacks from backers about how to improve our jackets. It's really a great way to make a product everyone would love!

One of the very interesting ideas we have got recently is about the sleeve making for the 360 hoodie. Because it's a reversible jacket, we have designed an elasticized slv opening in the beginning. However, some backers have given us some genius ideas to make both sides with thumb holes! We really love the idea as the thumb holes will make your hand warmer! So we developed a prototype sample to show you the difference. Pls COMMENT and let us know which one you prefer! Thanks a lot!  ---(for thumb holes, the merino side is still Merino, and the nylon side is still nylon).

 And some backers have contributed the great idea of adding a detachable hood with hidden magnets to the Minimal Jacket. We also made a prototype sample as below. The hood is lined with Merino wool like the body, and can be attached to the body with hidden magnets as discussed. We just made a men's version for the moment to show you. Pls also COMMENT and let us know how you feel about it and if you would like us to improve?

We cannot thank you enough for the genius ideas we have received. Without your supports and generous contributions, we could not stand here.

Looking forward to hearing from you!
