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)

Flint And Tinder USA’s “10-Year Hoodie” Breaks Kickstarter Records

March 11th - via: style.mtv.com
"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)

Flint and Tinder 10-Year Hoodie - Hooded Sweatshirt Made to Last a Decade

March 8th - via: esquire.com
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)
