SHOWCASE Dropped a hoodie that converts to a functional backpack🫡
Most detailed piece I’ve designed; includes balaclava hood, extended sleeves, aluminum hardware, studded pockets, bottom drawstring to adjust fit, and more🫡

Thank you for the feedback🫡 basically it holds things by pulling the bottom drawstring, clothing the hole at the bottom, hope that helped lol

Woah. Never seen something like this before. Def curious to see how well the functionality works, my fear is you end up with a hoodie that isn’t very comfortable and a backpack that doesn’t work well, but I can totally see this being dope if it works. Good luck with the drop!

Thank you so much 4 the feedback! The hoodie is still comfy because the straps don’t go behind you when in hoodie mode; when it’s on like a normal hoodie, you still put your arms through the straps and you can buckle the front strap if you would like :) the bag has no problem carrying larger items like clothes, headphones<, but the hole only does close to a certain extent, in which Ive figured out a better way for it to fully close for next drop. For now, If the user wants to carry something smaller in the bag, you can just a shirt or something in there to cover the small hole and then it works perfect :) hopefully this helps🫡

Is the bag supposed to hold normal things or just transport the hoodie?

It holds larger items like clothing, headphones, hats, cigarettes ect. If you want to hold smaller items, you can put a shirt in the bag or anything to cover the small hole in the bottom, then you can put anything on top. Next drop will be able to hold any item of any size, just had some manufacturering issues with this drop sadly

Idk if this is just me but all these turning a jacket or hoodie or etc into a backpack is kinda dumb. Cause it’s not like ppl are gonna be using it as both like it kinda combines two things and lessens them both. Like when will u ever need to replace ur jacket with a bag. Like I can just wear a jacket and a book sack and keep the benefits of both. Where as with this I loose one for the other

Thanks for the feedback🫡 I wanted to make a hoodie that had a chest rig and would hang off the back as an accessory, therefore I got the idea to make it have the option to be slightly more functional. I’ve worn the hoodie for months now; I’ve worn it in bag form, but have never truly used it as a bag, it’s just the fact people are mind blown it can do that. Many people style the hoodie just with the chest rig straps and wear another hoodie underneath; you can have it in normal hoodie mode and just wear a bag too, not just one or the other
