LIVSN Designs, a Bentonville-based outdoor apparel brand, announced that its latest design, the Century Jacket, raised $456,355 on Kickstarter over a 30-day fundraising period that ended on May 25, 2023.
The campaign was funded in minutes and surpassed the $240,000 mark just 24 hours after launching. The Century Jacket campaign is now the second most successful crowdfunding in the state of Arkansas, behind only another campaign by LIVSN that raised $514,624 for its Ecotrek Trail pants in 2021.
“We are honored and humbled by the outpouring of support for the Century Jacket,” said Andrew Gibbs-Dabney, LIVSN Designs founder and CEO. “We owe so much to the Kickstarter community and the fans who support us, time and again, and crowdfunding helps us confirm market demand while also giving us the resources to make new products like the Century Jacket a reality.”
According to the announcement, Century Jackets are designed with a combination of cut, comfort, performance and materials. The exterior shell is made from a fully organic, sustainably grown cotton weave called Ventile, with a lightweight wool interior and 100% pure silk liner.
The jackets will be available for pre-order soon on the LIVSN website and are scheduled to arrive starting in December 2023.
