Awesome clothing with special features
…is definitely something I’d love to design. If I knew how to sew proper… Anyways.
Yesterday I went to the Hangloose Shop in Vienna to buy a pullover and ended up with 3 shirts and some snowboarding pants!
Best part: everything was on sale.
The three shirts cost me 30 bucks and the pants were down to 100€ from 300€. All of the shirt where originally more than 30€ btw. So, really a bargain. I highly recommend buying snowboarding gear in summer :-)
So, what I actually wanted to tell you about was the Burton Sleeper Hoodie. Awesome idea. The hoodie includes a sleeping mask, a toothbrush, ear plugs, a neck pillow (to blow up), a pocket for your passport, one of the i-pod and best of all it has holes for the thumbes. Btw. it’s half price at Hangloose right now. The downside: the girl’s fitting is bad, the hole hoddie isn’t very cozy and the material isn’t very convincing. So, I didn’t buy it, but I might one day if Burton decides to improve the material and fitting.
Here you can watch a video with more information on the hoddie: gadgetvideo.com
The snowboard pants I bought btw. also have a cool feature: you don’t really need a belt, there is a kinda belt included into the pants.
Another thing I had to think of when it comes to clever gadgets is the whistle on my snowboarding backpack:
To make it short: I’m currently really tempted to do my share in improve the world by designing clever features for clothing…
If you have any really cool features among your clothing i’d love to hear more about them…
