Tired of the poor quality clothes, practically disposable and destined for planned obsolescence, the team members Flint and Tinder they decided to give life to a project for the realization of one hoodie which can last for a lifetime, or at least for the next ten years.

It is 10-year hoodie, whose construction is currently being financed through crowdfunding through the platform Kickstarter. A particularly resistant sweatshirt, accompanied by the 10-year warranty. And if it should get damaged or unravel in the meantime, the creators promise to be available for repairs. In their opinion, in fact, nothing should be disposable and clothing houses should always guarantee durable garments.

Often in the context of clothing true quality is not guaranteed by high prices. In fact, it may happen that even a high-priced garment can easily get damaged after only a few months of using it. The creators of the project speak of Planned obsolescence and stand up against it. Every piece of clothing should come with a durability guarantee, and their 10-year hoodie is probably the first example of this. The sweatshirt is guaranteed to be durable, made from sturdy materials and through reinforced stitching.

Its price is approximately EUR 68 ($ 89), less than ten euros for each year of warranty relating to the life of that item of clothing. The manufacturing materials come from the United States, the same place where the procedures necessary for its realization took place.

The guaranteed durability hoodie will soon be available for sale via worldwide shipping and may inspire clothing manufacturers to create durable and higher quality clothing.
