Loving my new Swacket

VFR800Essex

Delivered to the UK with only £11 extra to pay for customs/VAT/admin fee.

 

It's a tad too toasty in Blighty at present but will be used come Autumn.

Can you post some pics of the inside padding/liner?  It's hard to judge how thick it is on the website

The main jacket body is black and made from stretch material, medium thickness, maybe double the weight of a decent T-shirt material

Any grey sections are sewn over the black base. Looks like a medium grey denim weave.

The hood is double thickness of the black base material and is oversized for them Star Wars days.

The LTT logo looks to be a rubberized screen print.

 

Linus and team are true to their words. This is a very good quality item and i have purchased jackets that have been over twice this price and not a fraction of the quality.

 

The styling is muted with accent highlights, the orange edging, reflective strips and the two-tone colour.

 

Any other Q's, just ask away and i'll do me best to help.

Im glad you love it. We worked super hard on this one to get everything just right and while we get some satisfaction from making a buck (who doesn't?), its not nearly as much fun as seeing people wearing and loving the gear :D

I've decided to buy Swacket and the day I was ready to pay, they sold out. Is there any estimate on when will they be back in store?

Iirc, there's no ETA at this point in time, based on what they said on the wan show.

We are definitely working on it, but we aren't ready to share an exact timeframe yet since we don't want people to be disappointed when we don't hit it.

 

I can say though that we're stocking twice as many this time, so hopefully they'll last a little beyond the first rush of orders :P

Thank you for the answer, it's good to hear that there will be more! Also, is there any thread here which notifies of the availability of merch or should I keep checking the lttstore.com daily?

Hey Linus, I am wondering what size to pick. The LTT shirts M is a bit tight on me, but large is too loose.

Is there an option to return for a different size later?

I would get a large if I were you. The medium is a good/snug fit on me and our medium T-shirts are not tight on me.

 

We do allow people to swap sizes, but iirc the return shipping is on you so it can be kinda expensive.

Thanks Favebook for asking the exact question I came to this forum.

Just need to keep eyes open in case they go as fast last patch....

@LinusTech What happened to Swacket? I haven't seen it on the lttstore for quite some time. Is it ever coming back?

Most recently updated topic I found covering the Swacket. I've been checking daily since October 9th as it said restock would be between October 9th and November 9th but I checked just now and now the Swacket entry is entirely gone from the site. I have the same question as Favebook, is it ever coming back? I would really love to get one?

 

Or @ Linus:

All LTT stuff is top notch. Bloody lovely gear!!!

 

On the subject of merch, is there a possibility of a sports top version, something like this Supersparrow water bottle, something that would be great to place in my camera bag.

And im sure that LTT branded USB sticks and or SD Cards would sell like hot cakes as well.

 

Awaiting the day that LTT comes out with a LTT mouse and Keyboard.

Definitely something we're exploring (along with a larger water bottle), but nothing firm to share yet.

How warm is the swacket? In comparison to say, a basic fleece jacket from Walmart?
