I really like this as an idea, so I had a play around on the site for like the 300th time since this thread started and thought I’d save and post 2 of my favourites from this round haha LOL

Such a dope idea. Will you get patterns? Like camo, pinstripe?

We are looking to expand our color offerings for next season!

These are both awesome! I personally like #1 because of the colored zippers.

Just a suggestion but maybe just tag the colours as out of stock but still let people design with them. But not be able to send it to the cart.

Or add a option to be able to save the design for when the colours become available.

While shopping in the states (and Canada) on a recent trip, I found awesome Gore-tex/eVent/WhatEver pants that came in either Black or Grey or Brown at very reasonable prices but YAWN. All the brightly coloured arc’teryx and scandi brands were well out of my price range so I was on the hunt for a $250 shell pant that would lift my boring grey 30k shell Jacket.

Finally in a store in Nelson I find some bright coloured pants but they were some local brand TREW and I had no idea about their quality. After talking with an assistant I was pretty impressed, but the $500 price tag kinda turned me off. So I ended up picking a pair of Patagonia Shell Pants for half price, only thing is they are boring old black and to go with a grey Jacket makes me blend in like Predator in the trees.

I think by the time I need to upgrade my outerwear again, I’d like to see you guys offer not just colour customization, but also fit, and function. The colour thing is of course a bonus. I love how I can choose different zipper location on the jackets. One place I’d like to see more jackets have zippers is on the hip, where the pocket goes behind the torso. I had a uniform jacket like this once, it was fantastic. I stashed a spare pair of gloves, and goggles in there for the unpredictable days.

I hope you guys keep expanding on a great concept and bring us an easy to build customized jacket, pants, onesie, collection by 2015!! Also I love the fact that you are making them in USA and not shipping them off shore to some third world country.
