The gift that will save you money!
| By Richard ~ November 11th, 2010 ~ Wedding Planning | What Do You Think? |
Being a bit jaded about the “WIC” – Wedding Idustrial Complex” I don’t usually write or talk about products. There’s just too much out there. When I do, chances are that it’s a product that was never designed specifically for weddings, but whose wedding application is so clever that it makes me smile (some of you might recall that I describe “making people smile” as the ultimate test for wedding elements.)
Well, SCOTTEVEST made me smile – a big one. I’ve known about them for a while, but really started paying attention when the story broke about their ad being rejected by Delta Airlines in-flight magazine. And then it occurred to me, what a perfect gift for your bridal party.
The ad’s focus was on how Scottevest’s clothing can help you avoid airline baggage fees. Travel costs are often a serious issue for members of the wedding entourage; between the airfares, hotels, meals, attending your best friend’s wedding can be a bank busting endeavor. So what could be better than something practical (and a bit whimsical) that will make their travel experience easier and less expensive?
If you are still wondering what Scottevest is, it’s a company that makes jackets (and more) with lots of pockets, enough to carry your cell, your ipad and ipod, earbuds, camera, a water bottle, cigars, sunglasses and much more – maybe even a ring with a big fat diamond! In fact, I’m pretty sure that if you wear your suit (or tux) on the plane, underneath their new carry-on coat, you could probably get through the whole wedding weekend with nothing more than what you slip into your coat pockets!
I checked them out and purchased both a flannel jacket and a cotton hoodie, and am finding that some of my other jackets are sitting on their hangers. I am guessing that as soon as it gets really cold I will be ordering the Revolution Plus to replace my beloved Wellensteyn coat.
Imagine the glee of your friends when, as they are contemplating travel plans a few days before your wedding, they get a Scottevest jacket!
Note: after writing this, but before publishing, I found out about their newest item – boxer shorts with an iPhone pocket – what a great gift for the groomsmen!
