Preview of New Tropical Weight Travel Vest/Jacket-Update From Herbie Hancock
Hi Scott,
I wear your Scottevest jackets pretty much every day. They really come in handy at airport security and I see a lot of those. I'm in France on a European and US tour until mid August. Brian, my keyboard tech, has purchased a few of your jackets on his own.
Take care,
Herbie

Watch Scott be interviewed
Today's blog post is a bit different. It is a video of me being interviewed by Matthew Scott. The background is below. It is a bit long, and in 2 parts, so feel no obligation to watch it, but I think that Matthew's questions were VERY good and thought provoking. Let me know your thoughts.
BTW, I am wearing a first sample of a new light weight jacket, which I am loving.
See below for the context of the interview.

Preview of New Ask Scott Feature on Website-Your Comments needed ASAP
We are busy working on implementing the Ask Scott Feature on the new website. This will be based upon the coolest gadget EVER seen, an iPhone/Blackberry Killer looking device, which will be the screen upon which videos will play and give explanations and tours of SeV products, etc. We are working on editing the videos and building the killer device. So, basically I need comments ASAP to get to my graphic designer. The comp is here.
It sounds real choppy on my computer, but not sure if that is only on mine. Let me know your thoughts.
Also, we are going to hide some easter eggs, and super secret buttons/features in this device.
Let us know your thoughts overall.
I really appreciate the feedback.
Scott
it is shown below from blip, which appears and sounds much smoother but resolution is still not high enough; thoughts?

Subject: Re: Online Order
I first saw the jackets on Magellan's website a few months ago. I love techy gadgets and this was a jacket for techies. I ordered two Rodeos in Small and Large.
Sent from my iPhone
Hi Scott,
Yes, my jackets arrived today. The Rodeo, which is for me, is gorgeous. I don't know why you discontinued them. I would have ordered one for my husband. And that's too bad about the solar cell add-on panel. It would have been perfect for those trips to wayward places, which we seem to do on a regular basis, the latest being Easter Island in January. They are all those photographers, scientists, and filmmakers who are in the middle of nowhere. My husband will appreciate the other jacket I did get for him. The weather in France has been cool and windy. He packed for hot.
As all my friends know, I am the ultimate gadget girl. In fact, as soon as I rediscovered your jackets, I sent an email to some of my similarly-gadgetized friends. I'll forward you the email, since I think you will get a kick out of it. The recipients include a producer and director of documentaries, the president of the Explorer's Club, an extreme medicine doctor who treated survivors on that deadly Everest expedition in 1997, a National Geographic photographer and producer wife, who shoot photos and video of weird things in jungles, a MacArthur Fellow biologist who goes to the Galapagos every few months, a word-record spearfisherwoman, a director of Special Projects with the MIT Media Lab, and others. I can guarantee you that they will all order jackets! One told me he'd been using the same old "safari" jacket because he needed all those pockets. Two others were with me when we got sent back to the airline desk in China because of the new 7 kg limit for carryon....
I think the jacket recommendation will make the circles of all the Explorer's Club members.
If you do find another Rodeo in a Large, let me know. Thanks!
all best,
Amy

39 pockets, check it out.
You can carry a week's worth of reading, chewing gum and cameras, phones and their chargers, portable toilet and toilet paper, iPod and ham radio, dog food and two small dogs, emergency medical kit and portable exerciser, binoculars, extra change of clothes and newborn child, slippers and chess set, minibar and more, then stick out your tongue at the guy standing next to the scale over at Security. Laugh to yourself: "I'm hauling 42 extra kilos, baby! Eat my luggage tags."
I got one in microsuede for me, one in black for Lou.
Coming to a Metal Detector near you. See it soon on the savanah, the desert, the volcano, the next adventure.

Thank you again for your help
We wanted to thank everyone again for your help in identifying the bugs on our new site! This has been an amazing and busy couple of weeks for SeV with the launch, the sale, the video and now moving our warehouse to Chicago. The support of all our fans was amazing, and as always, you challenge us to continually improve ourselves.
The major bugs in the site (so it seems) are traceable back to the very cool, but very problematic "iTunes Scroller" that we used to show product photos. We have decided that it needs to go, and have set up a page design that will replace it. We are hoping that this will fix 95% of all site issues, but would truly appreciate it if we could call upon you to take a quick look and let us know if you see any problems or have any concerns. Just ONE page has been developed (we're heavily testing it now) - http://www.scottevest.com/v3_store/microfleece_pullover_clean.shtml - so please, tell us what you think. Is this an improvement or are we back to the drawing board?
Again… thank you….
Regards,
Scott

Final Notice for Secret Sale-ends tomorrow at Midnight
This is your final reminder that the Secret Sale is ending at midnight, on Tuesday, June 10th (that's tomorrow!). Here's the video version from last week if you'd prefer to watch instead of read: YouTube or on Blip.tv (better quality).
Due to moving to a new warehouse in Chicago, all orders received after midnight tomorrow will NOT ship until the week of June 23rd, and the coupon code ("NEWSITE") for 20% off will no longer work. So, you only have 36 hours left to take advantage of these great savings! With Father's Day coming up this Sunday, it's not too late to order dad something really unique and save 20%. (if he doesn't like it, you can return it (other than the clearance items).
Here's the bullet points of other important stuff:
· Father's Day - With Father's Day coming up this Sunday, it's not too late to order dad something really unique and save 20%. (if he doesn't like it, you can return it (other than the clearance items). Our TEC Hat was selected by Good Housekeeping as one of this year's top gifts for Dads and Grads! (and if you hurry there's still time to get one at the sale price in time for Father's Day- only $16 with the coupon code). Check the UPS estimated ship time map here. you may need to ship faster to get your gifts in time. Also, you can see a rough cut of our video for the TEC Hat here - (to see some more sneak previews, click here, or please check out the Travel Vest Promo here if you missed it last time.)
· We REALLY appreciate all the comments from the new website. We are in the process of making the corrections to bugs that you have brought to our attention - please continue to send us reports of errors/bugs to errors@scottevest.com or preferably post them to the blog here. All relevant details, such as your browser, computer type, connection, etc. would be most appreciated.
· We relaunched the SeV Forum here and have some good conversations starting up. not to mention the "Secret Pocket Club" for our best fans. shhhhh..
Okay, back to the SALE. How does the sale work? Use this secret coupon code ("NEWSITE"), which will save you 20% off ANYTHING, including the already super reduced Sale Items, giving you an effective savings of 60% off the Sale Items. We would post a chart of available sizes of the Sale Items but it changes so fast as things are selling out very fast.
As always, the fine print:
· Use Coupon Code "NEWSITE" at checkout (right under where you select shipping method) to get the price reduction
· This is only for newsletter subscribers and prior customers, but we have no way of policing this -so the honor code is in effect. There will be no mention of the sale on the site.
· Not valid with prior purchases
· The Sale Items are FINAL-no returns or exchanges. All other items can be returned/exchanged per our policy.
· Sizes are selling out FAST and will not be replenished. Only while supplies last.
· Sale ends Tuesday, June 10 at midnight, in your time zone. NO EXTENSIONS.
Your loyalty means a lot to us! Thanks again for your continued support!
Sincerely,
Scott

SeV Launches New Website-Secret Sale Save up to 60% Off One Week Only-Help us Find the Bugs! Perfect Father’s Day Gift
We have tons to report. You can either read this boring email or you can watch a short video on YouTube or on Blip.tv (better quality) explaining how the sale works.
So, you ask, why are we having a secret sale now? Good question. Three (3) reasons:
(1) We just launched our new website. I think you will find the new site to be MUCH better and easier to use. However, we are still working out the kinks. So, we decided to enlist your help in debugging the site.
(2) We have outgrown (more than 2347% growth rate thanks to you) our warehouse in Ketchum, Idaho and are moving our fulfillment to Chicago (HQ will remain here). Anything we sell now we don’t have to ship to Chicago, so we wanted to pass on the savings to our loyal customers. During the move (after the sale), shipping will be suspended for about a week, so now is the time to stock up if you think you will need any SeV’s. More details on this will be posted on the site, and we will notify you.
(3) Father’s Day and Graduation is fast approaching and SeV’s make great gifts! And, if you don’t order one now, due to reason 2 above, Dad won’t get one in time.
How does the sale work? I never thought you would ask.
Since we are asking you for something, we wanted to give you a secret coupon code (“NEWSITE”), which will save you 20% off ANYTHING, including the already super reduced Sale Items, giving you an effective savings of 60% off the Sale Items. Some examples of the deals on the Sale Items are shown below. Note that supplies are truly limited here, especially on the Sale stuff, so please don’t wait to place your order.
| Product | Regular Price | Sale Price | Secret Sale | Total Savings | Sizes Available* |
| $230 | $115 | $92 | $138 (60%) | S,M;XL-XXL(Tall) | |
| $100 | $50 | $40 | $60 (60%) | Only XXL | |
| $300 | $150 | $120 | $180 (60%) | Only XXL | |
| $200 | $100 | $80 | $120 (60%) | S, M XXL & XXXL | |
| $140 | $70 | $56 | $84 (60%) | Small Only |
*sizes as of the email; it will change quickly for sure.
The Coupon Code (“NEWSITE”) also saves you 20% off of the non sale items. For just some examples:
| Product | Regular Price | Sale Price with Coupon | Savings |
| Hidden Cargo Pants (in stock, finally!) | $60 | $48 | 20% |
| $35 | $28 | 20% | |
| $40 | $32 | 20% | |
| $100 | $80 | 20% | |
| Microfleece Pullovers (new colors!) | $60 | $48 | 20% |
| $120 | $96 | 20% | |
| $120 | $96 | 20% |
So, what do what do we have to do to earn such great savings? Well, other than enter the coupon code (“NEWSITE”) in the coupon code box at checkout, nothing is required, BUT we ask that if you find any errors on the website, you let us know either via email (errors@scottevest.com) or preferably by posting your errors to our blog here. Screenshots or complete explanations are preferred. Please do not call us as we are busy packing up for the big move.
We really appreciate your help. Note that there are many missing videos (they are coming soon). Let me know if load times are high, if things don’t appear right, typographical stuff, etc.
As always, the fine print:
· Use Coupon Code “NEWSITE” at checkout (right under where you select shipping method) to get the price reduction
- · This is only for newsletter subscribers and prior customers, but we have no way of policing this –so the honor code is in effect. There will be no mention of the sale on the site.
- · Not valid with prior purchases
- · The Sale Items are FINAL-no returns or exchanges. All other items can be returned/exchanged per our policy.
- · Sizes are selling out FAST and will not be replenished. Only while supplies last.
- · Sale ends Tuesday, June 10 at midnight, in your time zone. NO EXTENSIONS.
- · Our $5 Ground Shipping is still in effect for Continental U.S. Orders. (we may have to increase this once we move)
BTW, any Illinois residents will want take advantage of this sale. Once we move to Chicago, we will have to start charging Illinois sales taxes of 8.5%.
I could go into all the news, e.g., LA Times featured SeV, etc., but I think I am on the limit of how much time you have to read this. Just check out our blog for news. If you do have 3 more minutes though, please check out our new video on the Travel Vest here. It is really slick. More videos like this are coming soon, so check back often.
Your loyalty means a lot to us! Thanks again for your continued support!

Scott
