While I find most reality TV abhorrent, last week’s Shark Tank brought a very interesting concept to the usual babble that is the modern “boss” show. In this episode, Scott Jordan, creator of ScottEVest, appeared in front of a motley crew of entrepreneurs including Mark Cuban and Kevin O’Leary to pitch his patent licensing business, Technology Enabled Clothing or TEC. You can watch the episode here if you’re a masochist.
I’m not about to defend any of the people on here except to say that they are successful in their own right and most of them are blowhards. Blowhards can and are often successful and interesting, but often not on their own terms (see also) and often to the detriment of their souls. But darned if they don’t make for some good TV. → Read More
How often has this happened to you: you’re trapped in a Wampa cave on Hoth and your sleeve is trapped under a fallen icicle and you can’t reach your light saber. The only way out is to pull your sleeve off quickly. But if you unzip your sleeve, you’ll wake the Wampa. If you had the ScottEVest Transformer, you could simply pop off the sleeve with one swipe, freeing your blaster arm and saving your life. Instead to lie there and wait for the sweet release of an icy death or, barring that, the razor sharp teeth of the Wampa.

So you’re a handsome devil. We all know it. But what do you need to frame your steel-cut jaw and straight-edge browline? A leather jacket, that’s what.
It’s hard to pull off the leather jacket look. Leather jackets have long been the realm of rock stars, fans of WII bombers, and people who ride mopeds. That’s why I was initially wary of the ScottEVest XAE Leather Jacket, a special 10th anniversary garment made to celebrate a decade of jackets with lots of pockets.
This $450 jacket is made of delicate lambskin burnished a rich brown and it has enough pockets to smuggle a family of Smurfs out of an evil wizard convention. → Read More
Remember back in 2008, when the airlines told us that they needed to add extra charges and fees because of rising fuel prices? Please tell me you didn’t think when fuel prices went down they’d drop those fees? It all comes down to profit, and we can definitely see that given what happened to Scott Jordan from ScottEVest. Scott makes a line of travel clothing, and in recent months has been advertising the fact that it’s easier to load up your jacket then it is to bring a carry-on. I agree, but apparently Delta doesn’t. They actually refused to run Scott’s ad, despite the fact that they charge (quite handsomely I assume) for those ads in the Delta Sky Magazine. → Read More
Scott at Scottevest is a pretty cool guy – if a bit manic. Case in point: this crazy freaking trenchcoat that apparently allows you to carry clothes and shoes in one of the jacket’s 33 pockets. → Read More
Short version: Scott Jordan understands geeks. Or at least, he understands what geeks want in clothing. The Evolution Travel Jacket takes the same basic concept as the other Scottevest products, and refines it. The Evolution is a jacket with more pockets then most people will ever need, and could quite easily replace a backpack or messenger bag when traveling. → Read More
Our best buddy, Scott, he of ScottEVest, just started its massive 40%-off sale. They have plenty of great stuff including the Quantum and Evolution jackets and my favorite, the cotton hoodie. → Read More
IPad accessories are popping up everywhere. Proof? ScotteVest is now advertising its 22-pocket Travel Vest for Men as the first clothing line with a pocket for the iPad. Maybe that explains where Colbert was holding his during the Grammys. He seemed to pull it out of nowhere. That’s what ScotteVests are known for after all — gadget concealment. → Read More
If you’ve always dreamed of being a catalog model, this is your chance to really show off your stuff. Tech-friendly clothing company Scottevest is running a contest where you can appear in their catalog wearing their products. All you have to do is take a picture of yourself (in focus, and in high resolution) and email it to them, and you may get your big chance to be in a catalog. → Read More
I’m a big fan of ScotteVest stuff. Maybe that makes me a nerd, but it’s nice to have hundreds and hundreds of pockets – actually about 24 in each part of the “Signature System” – where I can stash all my phones and cameras. The system consists of the Fleece 5.0 and the Quantum jacket. While you can put them on together, to do so would cause a shift in the Earth’s gravity, creating a huge black hole of nerd core coolness. → Read More
While it still may be a little too warm out to start thinking about winter wear, it can’t hurt to plant the seed early – especially when it means getting a good deal. If you preorder the new SCOTTEVEST fleece, you’ll get it for $120. The regular price is $140. Plus, you can use our coupon code – crunchSeV – to get another 20% off. That’ll lower the price down to $96. That’s a great price for a jacket you can basically wear all fall, winter, and spring. Hell, wear it in the summer, too. Whatever floats your boat. I have last year’s version and the ability to remove the sleeves – going from vest to jacket in a couple of zips — coupled with the fact that I’m still finding pockets hidden here and there make it a great jacket. I think the defining moment was when I used the jacket as my carry-on — sticking my laptop and a magazine in the giant pocket that makes up the back lining – and walking around the airport unfettered. The jacket is warm, too. You can wear it all winter long – no parka needed. It holds your body heat like a Ziploc bag. A nice looking, fuzzy Ziploc bag.

If you like outdoor gear for the pockets and comfort but don’t want to look like a hippie, this is way to go. SeV → Read More
