The ADV3NTURE Hoodie with 23 Features!

$1,000,000 Stretch Goal Reached! Classic Navy Blue Hoodie Added!
over 9 years ago – Mon, Oct 03, 2016 at 10:42:12 PM

Because of our amazing backers, we've just become the 2nd Most Funded Fashion Kickstarter project... EVER! Sorry to shout, we're just very excited.

And, when we hit the $1,000,000 mark, we unlocked our next stretch goal, a NAVY version of the ADV3NTURE Hoodie CLASSIC! It is NAVY BLUE and has a DARK GREY ZIPPER and DARK GREY ACCENTS.

We chose NAVY as our next color because it’s what you, the backers, requested! Great choice!!!

If you backed the Classic ADV3NTURE Hoodie (or a multipack pledge that includes a Classic Hoodie), you’ll get to choose on your survey from the SMOKE & FIRE, BLACK & BLUE, TRIPLE BLACK and now the NAVY BLUE.

Our next color will be for the Limited Hoodie! We were planning on releasing a new Limited Hoodie color as our $1M Stretch Goal, but your overwhelming requests to release a Navy Classic Hoodie persuaded us to move up our Navy color announcement.  When we hit $1.25M, we'll release the new OLIVE CAMO Limited Hoodie. (see below!)

Thank you again to everyone that has helped get the word out by sharing our project on Instagram, Facebook & Twitter! Every new stretch goal we reach is thanks to your help and suggestions! Keep rockin'!

Be sure and check out some of the other amazing projects on Kickstarter!

Cheers!

We did it! (in 5 hours!)
over 9 years ago – Tue, Sep 27, 2016 at 12:50:53 PM

Thank you all so much for getting behind the Adventure Hoodie!

We’re off to an incredible start to our campaign. We reached our funding goal in 5 hours and hit 500% of our goal in the first 24 hours! So now you know that you'll be receiving your AV3NTURE Hoodie (and/or Jacket) and now we can talk about all of the exciting things to come.

There are some cool stretch goals that we’ll be announcing soon! But we actually hit one of our stretch goals so quickly, we didn’t even get a chance to tease it!

Because we hit the $250K mark, we are now customizing the buttons. The buttons will be embossed with the monkey (Pleepleus) logo. For those of you who don’t know about Pleepleus (Plee-plee-us), our little mascot, he was a stuffed monkey that I hid in episodes of my travel shows (Three Sheets, Drinking Made Easy, Chug) as a shout out to the fans.

Our next goal is at $500K, where we’ll be unlocking a new color for the All-Weather ADV3NTURE Jacket!

As the volume goes up, so do the options for stretch goals, so please share the project with your friends!

Here are some links that you can use!

$750,000 Stretch Goal Unlocked! New Classic Hoodie Color!
over 9 years ago – Tue, Sep 27, 2016 at 09:05:00 AM

When we hit the $750,000 mark, we unlocked our next stretch goal, a TRIPLE BLACK version of the ADV3NTURE Hoodie CLASSIC! It is made with the same black fabric as the Black & Blue, but has a black zipper and black accents.

We chose the TRIPLE-BLACK as our next color because it’s what you’ve asked for! We listen to your feedback and take all of your suggestions into consideration. Thank you again to everyone that has submitted their ideas!

If you back the Classic ADV3NTURE Hoodie, when you get your survey at the end of the campaign, you’ll get to choose from the SMOKE & FIRE, BLACK & BLUE, and now the TRIPLE BLACK.

Thanks to you incredible Kickstarter backers, when we hit $735,000 we became the third most funded fashion Kickstarter EVER! And we are currently the most popular fashion project on Kickstarter out of the 333 active projects.

Thank you again to everyone that has helped get the word out by sharing our project on Instagram, Facebook & Twitter! 

The next stretch goal will unlock when we hit $1,000,000. Hint, it's a new ADV3NTURE Hoodie LIMITED option!

Be sure and check out some of the other amazing projects on Kickstarter!

New Sizing Chart + More Sizes!
over 9 years ago – Sat, Sep 24, 2016 at 06:42:10 PM

We have updated our sizing chart to give you much more detail about the garments themselves. Originally, we gave sizing info (chest circumference, waist circumference, arm length) of you, the person who would wear the ADV3NTURE Hoodie. That is industry standard and what almost every brand will give you. BUT, we don’t aspire to be like other brands. We want to set a new standard in quality, construction, and communication.

We have also expanded our size range to include larger women’s sizing (including Tall sizes) and a wider range of sizes for men (including big and tall). We offer 22 different sizes of the ADV3NTURE Hoodie. We challenge you to find an apparel company that offers that range of sizes for a hoodie or jacket.

SO, we now have a sizing chart that tells you exactly what the size of the hoodies will be. We have given you four dimensions of the actual garment, so you better know what to expect when you receive your ADV3NTURE Hoodie. Below is our U.S. Sizing Chart. On the campaign page, you will find the U.S./Imperial Size Chart as well as a Metric Chart. 

You spoke, we listened!

The BEST way for you to decide what size ADV3NTURE Hoodie you would wear, grab your current favorite hoodie or long-sleeve outerwear that fits you the best. Lay it on a flat surface (a table or counter works great) and measure the four dimensions that we have given you. Compare those measurements with the ones that we have provided.

• BODY LENGTH - Measure from the bottom of the garment (below the waistband) to the seam where the hood (or collar) begins. 
• CHEST WIDTH - Find the seam where the sleeve and body meet under the armpit. Measure from armpit to armpit. 
• SLEEVE - Measure from the end of the cuff to the seam where the hood begins. Note that a collared garment will have a slightly smaller opening and will give a slightly higher number. Also note that the ADV3NTURE Hoodie is meant to be worn with the cuffs folded (unless you are utilizing the mitts).
• WAIST WIDTH - Measure across the waistband. If there is no waistband, measure one inch from the bottom of the garment.

This will give you the most accurate idea of what size of ADV3NTURE Hoodie you should order when your survey is emailed to you at the end of this campaign. It’ll take a minute of your time, but it will ensure that your ADV3NTURE Hoodie fits they way you want!

Travel. Explore. Live!

Cheers,

$500,000 Stretch Goal Unlocked! New Jacket Color!
over 9 years ago – Sat, Sep 24, 2016 at 10:32:27 AM

When we hit the $500,000 mark, we unlocked our next stretch goal, a Charcoal version of the All-Weather ADV3NTURE Jacket! It has all of the features of the ADV3NTURE Jacket (water-resistant, sherpa-lined), is the same material, but is now available in Charcoal Grey as well as the original Black.

Thanks to you amazing Kickstarter backers, we have already passed the Drinking Jacket campaign, and are currently the 5th most successful fashion Kickstarter ever! Wow!

What an amazing experience this has been for all of us. We are overjoyed at how receptive people have been to our ADV3NTURE Hoodie and the work we’ve put into it over the past two years. We owe everything to your support.

Thank you to everyone that has helped get the word out by sharing our project on Instagram, Facebook & Twitter! You rock! Our next stretch goal is $750,000 – when we’ll announce the next color that we’ll be making available! Spoiler alert: It’s a new Limited Hoodie color and it's awesome!

YOU ARE SPEAKING, WE ARE LISTENING!

We appreciate everyone who has reached out to us via direct message and on social media! We’ve received some great suggestions and here are some we’ve already integrated on our campaign page.

We’ve added a temperature range chart.

We’ve also added more women’s and men’s photos, so you can see what they look like on ADV3NTUROUS people! There are even more on the campaign page.

Keep an eye on our campaign for some exciting announcements!

Cheers!
