One of the more appealing things about Kickstarter, for me at least, is that it’s kind of like those Choose Your Own Adventure books from elementary school. Except, instead of helping you to avoid dragons while navigating a castle, your choices are actually shaping the marketplace. Essentially, Kickstarter allows you, the customer, to say “this is something I want to exist, so I can buy it.” Which is exactly how I feel about the Dark Navy Trench Coat from American Trench. Cut and sewn in the United States out of a water-repellent Egyptian cotton fabric from Italy, the slim-fit trench promises good looks, a great fit, and major protection – that is, as long as it gets made. The American Trench Kickstarter campaign ends on January, 30th 2013, and pledges of all sizes are welcome.
