Merry Christmas from Scott
I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I hope everyone is enjoying their holiday. This is the first day off I have had in several months. I am off to the slopes this morning.
I am very excited about the new Donny D show to appear on Wednesday night. I saw the teasers, and I think it will be very cool.

Big Idea Air Date and Experience-CNBC 10pm ET Wednesday, December 26
I just got back from NYC from the taping of the Donny Deutsch, http://www.cnbc.com/id/22252097/site/14081545/. It was a very cool experience, much different than my first appearance, shown here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_L_dJZhZdW8
The new episode will air Wednesday (12/26) on CNBC at 10pm ET. I was part of the panel of "experts" on how to grow your business. I must admit that the other experts were VERY impressive, and I wasn't sure what to add at times, but I think it went ok anyway. I wore the new Travel Vest. This is the first time I have traveled with it and really loved the new design.
While there, I filmed an American Express commercial against a green screen. It was very cool, but also very hard. I had to imagine gadgets flying all around me, among other imaginary things. Unfortunately, CNBC decided at the last minute not to use the commercials. Bummer.
I hope everyone has a great holiday season.
We are shipping today until 3pm ET, so there is still time to get your SeV under the tree.

Scott Jordan: A True Entrepreneur
There is alot of hype around entrepreneurship. I don’t buy into the rags to riches stories since in between, there is always alot of hard work, heart ache and some luck.
Scott Jordan is a true American entrepreneur. I had the good fortune of working with Scott many years ago in Chicago when he first got started. He was a lawyer that was frustrated with trying to carry all of his gadgets, so he decided to do something about it. Investing his own money in an industry he did not know alot about, Scott created the first Scottevest jacket was born where you could carry all of your devices concealed and comfortably. He was at first concerned that he could not get any of the major retailers to carry the product. This did not hold Scott back- he went directly to the public garnering unprecedent media with his product in every major online and offline publication. Fast forward to today, where Scott now has an entire patented line and his products are available at major catalog companies. There aren’t better clothes to live and travel in!
Scott is featured in the new Bounce! book and I am now honored to join is board of advisors which includes Steve Wozniak, founder of Apple and Kenneth Klopp, founder of North Face.

SCOTTEVEST Featured in NY Times and WSJ-Selling Out Fast Due to Overwhelming Demand-Hurry While Supplies Last-
Dear Loyal SCOTTEVEST Newsletter Subscriber
Order Now for the Holidays- Not Enough SeV’s to Go around
In the past 2 weeks alone, we have been touted as the perfect holiday gift in the Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, and the San Diego Daily Transcript, with more coverage coming this week from NBC and the Washington Post. As a result, we are selling out of certain styles, sizes and colors. So, if you want to get something in time for the Holidays, do not delay. This is NOT marketing hype.
Now for the marketing hype: People all over the world are discovering that SeV’s make the perfect gift for the holidays; after all, what do you get someone who has a bunch of gadgets but no place to put them. For all you guys out there, consider buying your wife/girlfriend/mom/daughter an SeV for the holidays. The new women’s items have been here less than a week and are flying off the shelves.
We now have a full line of clothing with 19 different garments, ranging from jackets, vests, hoodies, pants, performance t-shirts and polos, as well as 2 new women’s garments.
Updates on availability on new items are below. Please refer to our size availability chart here for current information, as this information changes by the minute.
Men’s Travel Vest and Women’s Travel Vest: With tons of hidden pockets, and only $100, this is the new standard in travel vests. Most colors/sizes are now available, with some exceptions.
Men’s Essential Jacket and Women’s Essential Jacket: With tons of hidden pockets and removable sleeves, for only $120, it is a truly an essential part of any wardrobe. This jacket arrived early, and is shipping in most sizes/colors.
New Hoodie Colors: We added 2 new colors for the Ultimate Hoodie: Moss and Gun Metal Gray. These will be available in extra small for women and kids! These are expected around December 20, and are available for pre-order at $60 (a $10 savings).
These new products are in addition to the other new products introduced: Evolution (25 pockets, removable sleeves, waterproof fabric and only $150), Explorer (20 pockets, micro-suede fabric, Teflon® treated, and awesome styling, $200), and the new best seller, the TEC Shirt (8 pockets, great styling and only $70).
Important Information about the Holidays
Order sooner rather than later, as certain sizes and colors are already running low.
You get a discount for products on back-order, but most will arrive by the holidays –see the specific details page of the product for the ETA. Here’s the deal with pre/back-orders: your credit card won’t be charged until they ship, but don’t combine with in-stock items if you want the in-stock items to ship immediately.
If you are buying something as a gift, our 30 day return/exchange policy is extended; all you need to do is arrange to return or exchange by January 4, 2008. You don’t have to return by 1/4/08, just arrange an RMA before that date, even if it is beyond the 30 day policy.
If you don’t know the size or product they want, consider giving an SeV Gift Certificate.
We offer attractive gift boxes for just $10.

Gift Suggestions for Travelers
Travel presents a multitude of questions both simple (where to go and what to bring) and not so simple (like why is it sometimes more satisfying to plan a trip than it is to actually take one?). Here are a few gift suggestions that will help people of all ages pack up and go, stay on their feet and get a good night's sleep. We even have the big questions covered with a thought-provoking book about what travel means and what we can learn from it.
Scottevest microfleece hoodie
Who needs a man-purse when you can stow all your stuff in a lightweight fleece sweatshirt that won't bulk you up? Former corporate lawyer Scott Jordan sells technology-enabled clothing that makes sense whether you're working undercover or looking to speed through airport security checks. This garment has features you would expect -- zippered front, drawstring hood -- and more, including 11 pockets with magnetic closures to secure items of all sizes, from keys to water bottles. It also has a way to manage cellphone and music player wires, keeping travelers tangle-free.
PRICE: $70. Available at Scottevest.com and through sporting goods, clothing and travel retailers.

Some Essential Hardware (By PETER WAYNER
Published: November 30, 2007
For almost every lawyer, accountant, Wall Street executive or deal maker, the briefcase and the BlackBerry can be a lifeline to the office, particularly for those on the road for business or commuting from the suburbs. Executives these days can’t go anywhere without the cellphone or the BlackBerry, but there are other gadgets and high-tech devices that are also catching on — some for work, but many for relaxation.
The Scottevest Tactical System features extra pockets for gadgets and passageways for wires.

Vestimonial from Satisfied Customer
I just got this email, and wanted to share it with everyone. This makes it very worthwhile!
-----Original Message-----
From: "Cindy Conzaman"
Our jacket/vest just arrived. I can not tell you how great it is. We are so excited to go on our trip now. It is just the perfect item for my husband to take. I would not have had any idea about your company before Donny Deutsch. Great literature included to give ideas for the pockets, and superior quality. My husband loves the inside being so soft and that it will be both warm when needed and cool for other weather conditions. You have thought of everything. Get yourself on QVC and you would sell hundreds of thousands of your uniquely thought out concept.

Very proud owner of a superior product!
Beautiful Saturday in Sun Valley Idaho
It is an amazing day here in Sun Valley, Idaho, sunny and warm. People are discovering the hidden coupon codes in the catalog, and having fun doing so.
The 237D Secret sale is doing really well. I think we may do more secret limited sales to introduce new products to people.
I just learned that NBC will be featuring a number of our new products in December! Gotta love the media attention.
Thanks for reading. I will try to make this interesting and worth subscribing to.
BTW, I can't wait for the new Verizon Voyager phone! I am sick of my old Blackberry.
Stay Tuned....

Well, today is my second day as a blogger. There are so many exciting things happening here at www.scottevest.com, I am not sure where to start.
We are in the process of updating the website to make room for all the new items. It will launch next week, Monday hopefully. Our new catalog is going out next week as well. It really rocks.
Today, Herbie Hancock, the famous jazz musician, wrote from his Japanese tour to tell me how much he likes his SeV. Also, the famous director Michael Mann is considering giving the Fleece 4.0 jacket to the crew and cast of his new movie.
I will try to post everyday, perhaps even more often if time and events permit.
Stay tuned. It gets interesting from here.
