Designed to last 100 years, the Century Jacket by LIVSN comes with free repairs for life

LIVSN Designs, an Arkansas-based outdoor apparel brand, recently launched its latest product on Kickstarter, where it promptly reached its funding goal well ahead of the deadline later this month. The Century Jacket is a craftsman-style garment designed for everyday use across various conditions and is constructed entirely from natural materials. According to LIVSN, it's designed to last 100 years.

The jacket's exterior shell is made from organic Ventile, a WWII-era cotton weave that's extremely durable and naturally water-repellent. Lined with moisture-wicking silk, it features lightweight insulation made of ethical wool. Available in olive green and blackish navy, the jacket is pre-selling for USD 439, with delivery expected in December 2023. LIVSN is confident enough in the product's quality that it's offering free lifetime repairs. The Century Jacket is the brand's fourth successful Kickstarter campaign.

Trend Bite

Endless and often mindless consumption seems deeply interwoven with modern life. But as the world grapples with climate doom and surging inequality, people are becoming increasingly aware of the detrimental effects of their unchecked buying habits. Brands like LIVSN are responding to that evolution.

By pioneering sustainable and mindful production, they're also creating better options for a small but growing group of conscious consumers. Offering versatile apparel designed for longevity and prioritizing ethical, eco-friendly materials, LIVSN both reflects a shift in mindset and enables responsible purchasing behavior. Your brand might not be able to create products that will outlive your customers. But whatever industry you're in, it's time to start pushing for longer lifespans and planning for non-obsolescence.
