hey everyone, my company is going to be making a new run of casual apparel for BASE jumpers and skydivers here in the next few months, so hit me up if you are interested and i will email you some pics when we finalize our next run! this round should prove to be pretty bad ass! the more accurate an idea how many people want the less likely i will run out of designs and sizes again, so let me know!

I can't wait for someone but Birdman to produce jeans worth 102EUR.

Can you let me know how that will improve my jumping or object access ?

You know when you are scared, you need your fav. pants, your fav sweather etc ;-) In the beginning I needed them all.

Haha, I wear a 20 year old jersey full of holes... it's just not the same without it.

thats our goal, we are making quality, appealing clothing for a reasonable cost... all the clothing i have seen out there that represents our sports are either cheesy as hell, low quality, or way over priced. as for now i just want to focus on casual apparel so that i can really help promote the sports and develop a solid reputation. nothing wrong with the old jerseys man, but sometimes its nice to have some new threads that will actually help you get some at the bar apres BASE!!!

I am not sure how comfortable I will feel scoping out a B while wearing my "BASE JUMPER wear" hoodie. Or how I will plea ignorance while trespassing on a piece of land with a tall A while wearing a beanie with "BASE Jumping is not a crime" written on it.

NickDG has said for years that BASE was good while it was underground. I think your idea is very unappealing to the sport staying low key. And what the hell is gonna prevent some douche from buying the gettup and getting laid at the cost of other people jumping ?

I'll stick with my logo-less clothing, I feel a bit more low key and less bust-able that way. YMMV

Honestly.....you will probably do quite well......
selling your BASE apparel at the dropzone.....
no shortage of takers for a
" my sport eats your sport ..." or " No Fear..."
type Tee or sweater.

Cant see many BASE jumpers would be interested.
I pick my clothing because its cheap, hard wearing , warm, stretchy, low profile etc not because of a logo, a statement or a graphic on it.
Technically appealing clothing, for sure.....show us what you got , but , I honestly cant see a want or need for 'casual' BASE clothing .....why ??

Although I do know a couple of people who cant' bear to jump in public without their 'Go Fast ' sweaters.......maybe I got it figured out all wrong

I think you're at the wrong forum.

good deal, then none of you get any good shit from me our stuff is nice and streachy, and it doesnt say stupid shit like "my sport eats yours for breakfast" im not into that lame ass false macho crap... im just making good looking clothing that is owned and operated by someone who is involved in the sport and helping sponsor BASE events around the world when i can! no harm in having a shirt that has a cool ass pattern and perhaps some writing on it that in no way gives you away as "about to break the law"... just figured it would be nice to have another option other than the mass produced crap available now, this stuff is made by my hands not little ones being paid nothing but if you want to prove how "underground" you are, then by all means keep it up soul jumper, i dont mind, but anyone who is interested in reppin our styz then thanks a bunch, its helping me fill my gas tank to get to the next object! but by all means dont play elitist with me, i have too many sports where people like to think they are the greatest of all time and try to dissuade any thing that isnt what they feel is the way it should be done, its all our sport and we all chose our own path, thats why we started this sport after all... that and i cant stand the elitist pussies who get mad about low pulls at the DZ all the time... in the end, im just throwing it out there, no need to take it but please dont give me shit im just trying to make it like anyone else and help give people something i would want at the same time.

Someone has to do this for the sheer laugh

( I ) gave you constructive feedback.....not shit.
The whole concept of 'apres BASE' clothing doesnt make any sense to me ( or I suspect most BASE jumpers)
I told you what is important to me in 'BASE clothing' ......and to share with me ( and us) what technical clothing you have, but you prefer to spend the majority of your post moaning at those who have responded , because they don't agree with your 'BASE clothing vision '??
....Nice strategy for a marketing and sales project.......good luck with that one.

i didnt pinpoint anyone out, lol and i wasnt moaning i find humor in about everything and have an asshole sense of humor sometimes oh well, i forget some people are sensitive... and as for apres BASE, it was just an example... it means clothing that can be worn anywhere any time. but then again, these little bickering semantic arguments is exactly why majority of my friends tell me to avoid these forums, to many people concerned with the number and validity of their posts vs having fun and talking to new people while trying to conquer the world probably wont see ya out there, but if ya do i would still welcome jumping with ya!

Of course you didnt mean to moan
.......but you did ( and again in your last post)

So....dont be shy...give us some details on this technical clothing you have, thats designed for BASE (not just apres BASE)
....show us its more than a Tee Shirt with a Logo.....unless of course thats what it is

lol youre from the uk you should recognize a sarcastic humor when you see it man, you guys invented that dry ass shit! if you are interested in seeing what we have dont be scared man, just send me a message and ill keep you posted im all about showin people what we have but im only going to show those who are interested, i dont chase people down... as i said, i make these by hand so its kind of a hobby to me. and the technic on the clothing is mainly thermal that all of our guy have loved! its super stretchy, and soft and slides well under a wingsuit. thhaaaatsss about all i have on technical lol... but wtf you have to start somewhere, im working with some guys in hungary on offering some equipment one day, such as containers and harness but as for now i am enjoying the art side of just designing some cool stuff so thats where im sticking, nothing too technical so that i dont over extend my self in design and manufacturing. ill post up some pics for you to all give me shit about when i have my next run in order but be easy, im fragile and bruise easy!

I like BASE related stuff.

That russian hoodie with the jumper giving the finger to the reaper is a classic. I keep forgetting to buy one when I go through the rare phases where I have a little money. The 'warning label T shirt by CR/Asylum is another good one.

Of course I wouldn't go jump an illegal object all dressed up in clothing full of BASE logo's and I don't know why that point seems to bring up so many reactions.

Bikers have biker graphics on their clothing, surfers wear surfer clothing, skydivers wear skydiver clothing, and I don't really see anything wrong with that. If it is good quality and has cool graphics, I would buy.

Wow it really seems like no one comprehended your post,or maybe they just didn't read it.I think it is a great idea,but I wouldn't wear my base t-shirts to an object.I understand that you are not saying that.I don't think people understand what casual clothes for the bar mean.It's not like you said a line of clothing to wear for while you are jumping.I say people can be REALLY IGNORANT,or just to lazy to read and comprehend what someone says.

Looks like you're not the only one looking to market to the BASE jumper community. Kenneth Cole just introduced a new line of dress shoes specifically for BASE jumpers.

Someone should explain to Kenneth Cole that there are no BASE jumpers in New York.

hahaha, i guess i should just pack it up then... i cant compete with those! all my plans for greatness have been foiled again.

hey thanks for the support everyone who has expressed interest here, and by sending me messages. i look forward to showing you guys the stuff we have!

Will there be female clothing?

we absolutely have female clothing! we do tank tops, short sleeve shirts and hoodies right now. as we go further i hope to offer dresses, shorts ect. ect. the girl stuff is less done up than the mens designs, so its a little more subtle for wearing around. i find that most girls have appreciated that! i come from a kayaking backround and that sport was the same way for a long time, they just started making PFDs made to fit woman, makes sense considering they are shaped differently in the torso area! so i feel ya and will do everything i can to help you girls rep the estrogen in a testosterone dominated sport.

Is the men's stuff kinda like this? (click for full size)

actually that is one of our designs! where did you get that pic, it shouldn't even be out yet... oh well now that the cat is out of the bag, there ya go everyone. the good news is that it totally keeps your appearance underground so they will never suspect youre about to jump off an object! they will just think youre on your way to gay 80s dress up party!

In the words of Hank Caylor:

That jacket is gayer than 2 dudes blowing 10 dudes

No offense to gay jumpers

something tells me that my BASE jumper model "Funky" doesnt mind being pointed out! oh and by the way inzite, Funky told me to let ya know how much he loves those BASE jumper shoes! comfortable, fashionable and great impact absorption not to mention grippy for those tuff to reach places!... his words not mine!

Hell yeah well keep us posted. Im totally interested.
