Sup guys! I'm a small entrepreneur with a terrible sleep pattern because I'm literally always thinking of coming up with something new and innovative. After months and months of hard work, I've launched my very first crowdfunding project I'd like to share to you guys on MyGaming, but more importantly, fellow South Africans.

Introducing: The Blue Crane Hoodie - Available for pre-order on Indiegogo

Here's our campaign video:

Leave Nothing Behind.

Life in the modern era can sometimes move at a blistering pace. We don't always know what to take with us and what to leave behind, but what if you never had to leave anything behind?​

Introducing the Blue Crane Hoodie, an all-in-one hoodie-and-bag that simplifies life and maximizes quality. Because we are proudly South African, our hoodie is stylized after South Africa's national bird to symbolize its travel and adventure styled features. The Blue Crane Hoodie is both a bag and a hoodie that carries all your essentials, as well as wows and marvels with exciting features.

Not just a bag. Not just a hoodie. It's both!

Whatever the journey, our hoodie is guaranteed to keep you up to the task. We've made it our goal to create an all-in-one hoodie-and-bag that is packed with creativity and innovation, but that is above all an everyday hoodie that you'll want to wear day in and day out.

From bag-to-hoodie or hoodie-to-bag in seconds!

The BC hoodie transforms from bag-to-hoodie or from hoodie-to-bag seamlessly in just a matter of seconds. You no longer have to carry around a bag and jacket separately. You no longer have to try and squish everything into your travel-sized bag. You no longer have to worry about being unprepared for a sudden change of weather. You no longer have to worry. Your day becomes just that little bit easier and less frustrating with the magic provided by the Blue Crane Hoodie.

As a hoodie, the Blue Crane hoodie is, in its most natural form, a stylish and modern everyday hoodie that has been crafted with intense care and an extreme attention to detail. We've focused on creating a hoodie that is luxurious in its feel and trendy in its look that is perfect for any occasion. Only after focusing on an alluring appearance does the focus shift to the features of the hoodie. And boy are the features a sight to behold as well. The BC hoodie is integrated with over 20 remarkable features that will make sure you're ready for whatever the journey of life will throw at you. It's currently available in black and grey, but if our campaign surpasses our expectations you can expect to see a few more colors announced.

Thanks for taking a moment to check it out! It really has been a 'blood sweat and tears' kind of story to get this thing going and all of this was done with the help of just two other people, my mom and a seamstress. Had to shoot all of the video footage from my iPhone 6 as well. So if any of you guys would be interested in a Blue Crane Hoodie and want to support the campaign, that would be amazing. If not, that's fine, tell your friends :)

Early backers can expect their hoodies to arrive in early June

If there's any bloggers that would like to maybe write an article about this, please do get in contact with me, that'd be awesome!

This is a very cool idea.

Is it possible to get two of the jackets on the earliest bird special?

[MENTION=1360]predatorx9[/MENTION] Order placed for two hoodies. I'm looking forward to them. All the best with the rest of the campaign. I'd recommend posting to reddit for more exposure if you haven't already.
 
Lucky order #13 FTW! Backed because it looks like a terrific product, and because it's fantastic to see another home-grown world-class pitch. Buy local MyGamers!

All the best for the rest of your funding drive [MENTION=1360]predatorx9[/MENTION]. (Keep an eye for an email from me in the next few days with some semi-related questions for you.)

Thanks you so much for supporting [MENTION=9032]StaggerLee[/MENTION]
I'll give reddit a go, but apparently if you're not an active member on there, other members won't really partake in- or discuss your thread. But worth a try anyway. Thank you for the suggestion :)

Thanks a mil [MENTION=15883]GregRedd[/MENTION] much appreciated! You won't be disappointed :)

Will look out for your mail.
 
Just as an added 2c - I would take one without all the bells and whistles just the thumb sleeves that turns into a bag. Aka at a lower price point, the top as awesome as it is, just falls outside what I would pay for it. Maybe if it was waterproof

Thanks for the suggestion [MENTION=2530]Wyvern[/MENTION] , if things go well from here I'll definitely look into bringing out different versions in the future.

Pleasure, as much as I want one the prices on them when not on special just makes it not affordable :(

To be honest, the bells and whistles are what sold it for me. A hoodie that can just turn into a bag isn't all that appealing to me. What I really wanted (and need) is multipurpose hoodie that I can use for travelling on the long flights to Europe. I currently use this big "plasticky" jacket that is not comfortable to sleep in (or on). I like the passport pocket and all the other extras. If, one day, I get to turn it into a bag and use it that way, it will just be a bonus.

The ability to turn it into a bag is completely lost on me... I cant think why anyone would want to do that, but hey maybe its just me? I really like the "gimmicky" things like the passport pocket, sleeve wallet, and the bottle opener and waterproof pocket makes my beer drinking a lot easier lol...

hehe see I would never put a drink in there, but turning a top into a bag in the cape is good. Since the weather here turns and carrying a top is mental
 
Thanks for the support so far guys! We're 70% funded! Just a heads up, 13 out of the 15 earliest bird perks have been claimed. 2 left if there's anyone else still looking to get it at the special price ;)
 
Quick update for those that are interested - we've surpassed our GOAL on Indiegogo! Took us around 10-11 days to hit our target. Massively, massively chuffed and completely humbled by all of the positivity I've received since launching the campaign. I'd still like to grow the campaign and get some eyes on it before it ends though. There's a lot of love for the product, but not a lot of people backing the it in the end :( I've been trying to reach the overseas market but I've been failing hard. Any suggestions?

Have you tried Reddit, Youtuber's/Twitch Streamers? Gizmodo? Popular Mechanics? There are a plethora of media outlets you can try.

he/she did add it to the southafrica reddit.

But also agree twitch streamer might do the trick but then it has to be someone with loads of followers.

Instagram/twitter/pinterest only thing is its so much work to do them all but if you can get someone to handle this it might be easier.

Also if your paying the proudlysa nonsese just for the logo since it not worth it they do nothing for you. We had it on baby shoes and nobody gave a flying fk that it was proudlysa.
