FS 2019-20 Bross Hoodie PreSale PreOrder by maggot Demand !!
Ok this is now the thread for all things related to getting a Bross Hoodie
Please refresh this page with each visit as it is constantly being updated
By maggot demand......freeride systems bross hoodie project / presale / preorder
Scope of Work
1. We will be doing the zippered version
2. We will be doing a pullover version
3. We might make pants...but they take longer to make because i have to figure out a waistband material and make patterns from scratch and field test them....we don't make anything we haven't put thru the ringer....
Timeline for Project
1.updated 11.17.20 PreOrder Closed No New Orders
2. We will begin production within 2 days of Pre-order tabulation (update: 11.17.20 Fabric Ordered min 7 days to delivery) (update: 11.17.20 Pattern work on Schedule and will take 7-10 days to complete / should finish as fabric is delivered) (11.17.20 deciding whether to get a jump ordering the YKK zippers or wait for patterns to complete to confirm zipper sizes)
(11.17.20 we will be using the black freeride systems logo labels that we used on baselayer shirts/applying them down at the waist level front/ our embroider could not schedule us till after Jan 1 - so that obviously did not work)
12.4.20 fabric finally arrived , ykk zippers have been ordered, reworked patterns finished, cutting soon...
12.5.20 began spreading fabric for cutting today....cutting will run thru tues. monday will take pieces for outsourced embroidery...altho we decided today to add our own inhouse embroidery for 2021 so this will start saving a lot of time, speed up production and less logistics
12.24 sewing pullovers, sewing parts of zips that do not get embroidery, pullovers will finish earlier than zips, still waiting on embroidery vendor for 2 zip fabric pieces (chest/arm)....waiting now way too long...we are looking at our own inhouse embroidery machines tajima most likely, will not help this project speed up unfortunately....
12.28.20 pullovers finish this week , QC, then shipping by next week..... zip hoodies lag due to 3rd party contractor/vendor...
12.29.20 getting very close on pullovers (pic)
Attachment 355390
1/4/2021 Shipping many pullovers , Still waiting on 3rd party embroider to do their part on zip hoodie pieces of fabric....they have been holding the pieces of the garments since 12/10/20 wtf??? tail wags dog....
1.5.21 embroidered pieces finished today for zip hoodies and moved back to production facility
1.25.21 zip hoodies (and orders that have both zip and pullovers) to begin shipping this week Jan 25-29
3. We should complete job within about 30 days of Start of Production
Notes: We will not be continuously cutting and sewing this project from when it begins. We will cut, brand, then sew, trim out in segments as we can work in to our current work flow. This may mean that things sit for a week or so until we have a small window of opening. If this were a scheduled job with finite size,gender,fabric we would finish in a day from commencing work.

*Based on past work with the Bross 3.0 fabric in black which I think will be the same as this orange, I dont think making a pullover out of it will work very well. It does not have the stretch of the regular R-1 , but not absolutely sure til sample in hand
Fit , Sizing and Genders:
1. Bross 2.0 We will add tall sizes to the zip hoodies
2. Bross 3.0 will be made to same fit as Bross 2.0 by us making pattern changes to accommodate difference in fabric drape and stretch)
3. Do we need mens and womens cuts?
4. Pullover Hoodie measurements ( NON zippered garment) pic coming
Here are the 2013 measurements for a pullover hoodie in size Large (NO zipper)..... if there is demand
Freeride Systems Size Large (which is like XL in most other brands) applies to this garment as well as our Antero jackets
(note: this is different sizing than our baselayer shirts - which are about same as most other brands)
Length from neckline (not top of neck fabric/but the neck seam) down back to bottom hem 27 1/4"
Arms..center back to end of cuff 35 1/2"
pit to pit across front 25 3/4"
Colors, fabric weight and Specs:
update: The maggots have spoken and the smooth face of fabric will face out and forward
Limited fabric quantity as noted below
i will not finalize till i have fabric in hand and will post pics and compare to past productions
yay or nay these
Tentative Colors
1) Orange hardface, I believe Bross 3.0 weight fabric, orange background/ orange dots I think this even has DWR (just like the old black dot 3.0 Bross which fit tighter than reg 2.0 - however, i can adjust the pattern this go round to make the fit close to the same as the 2.0 - we skilled like that ! , Enough fabric to make 100 +- of these
2) Lime Green, I believe Bross 2.0 weight, oval grids instead of square......not sure on weight of this yet.... till in hand - maybe enough to make about 50 hoodies
3) Sand/Taupe, I believe Bross 2.0 weight, w square grids ......not sure on weight of this yet.... till in hand - maybe enough to make about 50 hoodies
4) Olive, I believe Bross 2.0 weight, square grids ......not sure on weight of this yet.... till in hand - maybe enough to make about 10-15 hoodies
5) SIDE NOTE also all those fabric colors we made base shirts from in last run are still around crimson , red, charcoal, purple.....too light for zip hoodie i think....hell we still have some of those shirts here: https://www.freeridesystems.com/prod...de-in-colorado
Lime Front (weight pretty close to past Bross 2.0) looks a little more vibrant green than pics appear
slightly stretched which is kind of what it looks like pressed against your body
