Threads of Apollo - Leather Jackets You Deserve

Created by Wakkas

ToA is a men's luxury leather apparel brand based out of Vancouver BC. We understand apparel is vital in feeling confident. What we don’t understand is why quality apparel, like a full-grain leather jacket, costs half a pay cheque? It shouldn’t. and that is where we come in. We are a brand by flawed young adults for flawed young adults. For us this is personal. We want to help the only way we know how. We are determined in providing quality and fresh leather jackets at an affordable price.

We were a bit ahead of schedule and so if can get these surveys in before this week ends, we hope to get these jackets in everybody's hand before the New Year!

If you guys have any questions or issues regarding the survey please let me know.

Funded, Inner Pocket Design Change & More!
over 8 years ago – Fri, Oct 20, 2017 at 02:35:19 PM

Hey guys!

The campaign has been officially funded with approximately two days left to go!!! This is truly amazing. I want to thank all of you for your support and feedback thus far. 

We still have some time so if you've already backed the campaign and know someone else that might be interested, refer them and  let me know who it is after that person has backed the campaign. I will include your name in a contest where you can potentially win a jacket of any style, size and colour (that includes burgundy for the Ares, black for the Icarus and brown for the Achilles)!

Exciting Design Change - Tablet Pocket (Unlocked at $11500)!

We  have been thinking of ways to improve the jackets. Though our own testing and the feedback we were getting, we decided that, although having different sizes of pockets inside was great; none of them were big enough to fit books, e-readers or tablets. We want this jacket to be used for all types of individuals in all sorts of scenarios. After much thought, we decided to reduce the inner pockets from 5 to 4 with one large pocket able to fit books, e-readers and even an 12.9 inch IPad Pro! This pocket will now be part of all ToA jackets once we reach $11500!

What is next?

Now that the campaign has been funded; we are getting ready to create the surveys via backerkit. We will get them out as soon as we can after the campaign. In the survey, you'll be able to choose your jacket(s) and/or gloves, the size(s) and also enter in your  information for shipping costs and delivery for when the jackets and/or gloves are ready to be shipped.

We will also include additional options. For example, if you want to add a pair of gloves to you order, change the lining to all Satin and of a particular colour, custom sizing and potentially other options. 

I have been in touch with the manufactures (we have separate ones for the jackets and gloves) and have informed them about the size of the orders. Once we receive payment from Kickstarter, the manufacturing process will begin shortly after. We hope to get these jackets and gloves to you guys much sooner than the expected ETA. We will keep you up to date with the process. 

We will also update the FAQ as well as send out emails regarding return policies and exchanges.

After receiving goods

After you guys have received your jackets and/or gloves, we will be contacting each and everyone of you for your valuable feedback. The more honest and detailed, the better. Moving forward, we want to be constantly improving and want to be able to provide the best jackets and gloves you guys deserve!

Special Announcements Including a Lottery!!
over 8 years ago – Mon, Oct 02, 2017 at 01:14:39 AM

Hello!

First off, thank you to anyone who attended the live stream.

I have some very exciting announcements!

Exciting Changes:

1) I have listened to a lot of feedback and have decided to get rid of the first stretch goal. Sizes XS and XXL do not have to be unlocked and are now available!

2) I have updated the FAQ with estimated shipping charges, information on duties as well as where the sizing and measurements can be found. If anyone has any more  questions and concerns please let me know.

3) Stretch goals have now been modified!! Colours will be unlocked at $30,000 and free shipping at $100,000.

Contest/Lottery:

4) Are you already a backer or thinking about backing? I have a very special offer!! If you and another person you refer backs this project, your name will be put into a lottery for a chance to win a free ToA jacket of any style, size and colour (regardless of if we meet the stretch goal) as well as one pair of ToA gloves!! Just send me a message letting me know which backer you referred and I will enter your name. The draw will be held after the campaign and is applicable if this campaign gets fully funded. Right now we will limit this to one person but if we get enough traction then I have increase the amount of people who can win!

Live Stream!!!
over 8 years ago – Fri, Sep 29, 2017 at 06:04:17 PM

Hey guys!

So instead of showing pictures of the jackets, I decided why not show you! I will be doing my first ever liver stream on Sunday, October 1st at 12:00pm PST.

I will also answer any questions or concerns you guys might have and also just talk more about why this project is important to me.
