Everyone has ideas, but not everyone has the money to make them reality. Sure you can ask your parents for extra cash, but that’s only going to take you so far—unless your parents are really rich. You can also chase down high-roller investors for seed money, and if you're lucky you can get Ashton Kutcher to invest. Another way however is using the power of the Internets. (Read More)

So many of you asked for it - 886 to be exact - and here it is: your very own pocket to keep whatever you please safe and secure, tucked away out of view in an extra deep pouch pocket on the inside of your sweatshirt! It measures 5 in. x 7 in. That's... (Read More)

We were going to wait to update you with the details of the inner pocket (with pictures) to announce this, but because of delays at our sample house that update is still a day or two off. We couldn't wait to share this anyway! Here's what's up... We... (Read More)

‘The clothes you are wearing were designed to fall apart. Really.’ Kickstarter is quickly becoming the home of life hacks. This project is a premium sweatshirt; designed for a lifetime, guaranteed for a decade and ships with the promise of free mending. (Read More)

Pre-production is in full effect! The first pile of yarn required to make the fabric, all 21,635 yards of it so far, has made its way from the spinners (where it went from cotton to yarn) to the knitters (where yarns become fabrics). At the volumes... (Read More)

Be advised, there’s a lot of words and even a video in this update. Don’t have time for all of that? Let us give it to you in just two words: THANK YOU!  We wanted to take this time to first share some facts, answer a few questions and finally,... (Read More)

"Buy less, but get more." Sounds great, right? But when you think about the way that a lot of us shop these days, not a whole lot of people are adhering to that way of thinking these days. Jake Bronstein, founder of Flint And Tinder USA, is trying to change the way that many people think about clothing, and it turns out, people are REALLY listening. Jake started a Kickstarter campaign to raise awareness about a disturbing concept that he heard about in a factory called "planned obsolescence," and to fund the idea that he has to make a statement about that concept, The 10-Year Hoodie. (Read More)

Flint and Tinder, the company that patriotically cradles your junk with premium, American-made underwear, is back with a new product: The 10-Year Hoodie ($89). Like the undies, the hoodies are made here in the States using super deluxe materials and impeccable craftsmanship. In fact, the sweatshirts are built to last a lifetime, and the company is so sure of their durability, they're providing a 10-year guarantee: If your hoodie gets a rip or tear, just mail it back and they'll mend it free of charge. Somewhere, Michael Cera is salivating at the notion. (Read More)

Ah, the hoodie. It's a divisive subject, to be sure, hailed by some as the only piece of warmth-providing knitwear a guy could ever need (incorrect), and by others as a sartorial signifier of the end of civility (also, probably, incorrect). Us here at the Style Blog? We say that it's a piece that should be employed sparingly, and, more often than not, within the comfort of one's own home. But no matter your stance on the hoodie itself, we think you should get behind the spirit of Flint and Tinder's most recent Kickstarter campaign. (Read More)
