40% Off Summer Products--Secret Sale – One Week Only!
SAVE 40% on SeV Summer Collection!
SCOTTEVEST is celebrating Summer by giving our loyal customers a chance to stock up on SeV Summer clothing at 40% off. All sales are final—no returns or exchanges, but with prices like these, you can’t lose. Act fast, because we’re sure to sell out of some colors/sizes and won’t be restocking until 2009. See below for The Deals and How the Sale Works.
THE DEALS
| SeV Summer Collection | Regular Price | Price with Coupon Code SUMMERSALE | YOU SAVE |
| SeV Performance T-Shirt, Short Sleeve Colors: Black, Blue, Red, White, Olive,Smoke Sizes: Small-XXL | $35 | $21 | $14 |
| SeV Performance T-Shirt, Long Sleeve Colors: Black, Blue, Red, White, Olive, Smoke Sizes: Small-XXL | $40 | $24 | $16 |
| SeV Performance Polo Colors: Black, Red, White, Olive, Smoke Sizes: Small-XXXL | $45 | $27 | $18 |
| SeV Performance Q-Zip Colors: Black, Olive, Smoke Sizes: Small-XXL | $45 | $27 | $18 |
| Ultimate Cargo Pants | $100 | $60 | $40 |
If you are a fan of wicking, breathable, high-performance athletic apparel (or you just like to stay cool while looking cool), these products are made for you! Everyone who tries them, loves them… we've even been told that the material "seems to defy physics – I'm cooler wearing it on a hot day than not."
Because they're SCOTTEVEST products, they all contain special pockets that let you wire your iPod® and keep your earbuds under control. Runners, throw away that goofy armband! This is a much better way to carry your tunes, keys, ID and more. The T-shirts and Q-Zip have three pockets each, the Polo has one perfectly placed pocket, and the Ultimate Cargo Pants have FOURTEEN POCKETS.
To learn more about the products, check out my video demo of the SeV Summer Collection.
HOW THE SALE WORKS
- Add SeV Summer Collection products to your shopping cart and enter the coupon code SUMMERSALE in the coupon code box during checkout [left side, under shipping method and credit card]. When you go to the next page, the savings will be applied.
- ALL SALES FINAL—NO RETURNS OR EXCHANGES.
- As always, $5 UPS Ground shipping for orders shipped within the United States.
- Sale prices valid on in stock items only.
- Cannot be applied to prior purchases.
- Cannot be combined with any other offer.
- This is a Secret Sale for newsletter subscribers and prior customers. We have no way of policing this, so the honor code is in effect.
- The sale ends on Thursday, July 31, 2008.

SCOTTEVEST Design Competition for TWiT Army Hoodie - $500 SeV Prize
SCOTTEVEST/SeV is the home of some great TWiT swag, including the Twit Logo Hat. We have offered other Twit Pride stuff before and we really want to create some more products for the Twit and Geek Community. This is where you come in.
As of… right now… we are launching a competition to design the new “Twit/Geek Army Uniform” as explained in this short recap video and the “whole story” video.
We’re not going to be developing a whole line of clothing to start, but we do have a brand new Cotton Hoodie in the pipeline, and this will be your canvas. We want some awesome ideas for the royal Twit/Geek treatment (although it need not include "TWiT" or the logo itself. This is to be a design applied to the SCOTTEVEST clothing that is inspired by, appreciated by and in homage to all things Twit/Geek.
We’ve considered embroidery and/or silk-screening – all ideas are fair game at this point. One cool idea is presented here, but using perhaps a combination of logos/text of TWiT, Leo, SCOTTEVEST, SeV, TEC, our US Patent No., pictures/sketches of various gadgets, binary code, and/or established in 2000, etc. You get the idea..
If your idea is the best, you’ll win $500 in SeV merchandise.
“But what if I’m not an artist?” you say. We still want to know what you want, what you NEED in Twit/Geek-inspired apparel. We are all ears, so post away!
Here are the general guidelines (more details to follow and in response to questions posted here in this forum):
* We are looking for graphic designs to apply to our new SCOTTEVEST Cotton Hoodie that really capture the Twit/Geek experience, but just look COOL in general. The Cotton Hoodie looks a lot like our Microfleece Hoodie, but this is a brand new product that will launch with YOUR design on it. To get an inside look at all the cool features for gadget lovers, check out the full sketches here.
* It need not use the word or logo TWiT, but should appeal to the TWiT army.
* This Twit Army Hoodie will be made in Charcoal Grey as the base color.
* Designs can be specified as embroidery, silk-screening, but we don’t expect you to know the ins and outs of clothing design. Understand that we may need to modify designs to make them more practical for production.
* We think tone-on-tone designs are really cool, but we’re not going to limit your creativity so have at it.
* We believe that the design should appear on the front chest panel or panels only, but let us know if you disagree.
* We will own any designs presented, and we reserve the right to offer 2nd, 3rd etc. place prizes for lesser amounts if there are a ton of good ideas presented.
* Do you want the real inside track about what we’re looking for?
How to do it:
* Download the SCOTTEVEST to sketch on
* E-mail your entry to twit@scottevest.com and enter as many times as you like
* Please include your name and e-mail address in your note
* All submissions need to reach SeV before August 20, 2008, and all submissions become the property of SCOTTEVEST
* Have questions? Post them on our this thread or visit the SeV Forum for more details-link to follow
I know I am forgetting some details, but please post questions here and/or email me at twit@scottevest.com, and I will answer them. Thanks so very much.
Here's the link to the video explanations again: short recap video and the “whole story” video.

Tongue Twister of the Day....One Smart Fellow, He Felt Smart
I bet you can't say this....Turn on your video camera before you start. Upload to YouTube, and tag and title as scottevest tongue twister and send me the link. One smart fellow, he felt smart. Two smart fellows, they felt smart. Three smart fellows, they all felt smart.
Now, after posting this, Jorge was the first to try it, and I have never seen anyone do this so well the first time. Moreover, his SeV behind him looks better than the studio i spent hours building. Either he is cheating with his super editing (dubbing my voice over his lips and changing the way i sound to sound like him) or he is just that good. Nice work Jorge!

The TWiT Netcast Network with Leo Laporte
Actually, there is some really interesting background about this particular show on HackerSafe. It is not video but audio, but from Leo's famous podcast. You will notice on our site I ultimately gave in and added it, after they showed it worked... Worked has there meaning not mine, e.g., it made people percieve they were more safe, but actually does very little beyond what we were doing. Interesting interview though.
Scott
PS: Check out our TWiT TEC hats here, only $15, and very cool.
Here's some Leo Videos now :-) He rocks!
