I wanted to thank everyone personally so i whipped out the ifun and made a lil' selfie video for you.

 STRETCH GOALS!

We are tracking our success on a site called kicktraq.com and it says we are trending toward between about $210K and $254K. More specifically, according to them, we should end up around $220K, IMPRESSIVE! So, here are some stretch goals that should motivate you to get out there and tell your buddies about the McCoy!

$220,000 - Limited, first edition, McCoy inside label with lot number and jacket number so you can always prove you were among the first.

$250,000 - Custom, individually pressed and numbered, military style dog tags. For all the real McCoys out there. You tell us what you want on it, and we do it to it!

Dudes and Ladies, we can do it. The more successful we are, the more rad gear we can make for you!

Thanks again, now lets finish strong!

TALL RIDERS, THIS IS FOR YOU!

Optional sleeve extensions for taller riders. Get the fit you want and the length you need!
Optional sleeve extensions for taller riders. Get the fit you want and the length you need!

Tall riders often struggle finding moto-gear that fits. Jackets that fit in the body never have long enough sleeves, sizing up to get more length in the sleeves leaves the torso hanging o you like a trash bag! Most companies focus on average size riders, but we went the extra mile to provide a simple and stylish solution so you can get the fit you want and the length you need! Check it out!

 Thanks again for your support, lets bring her home strong!

The Real McCoy, 400% Funded!
over 7 years ago – Wed, Aug 08, 2018 at 04:08:09 AM

Hey Tobackers! (Just own it.)

You are KILLING it! 

Thanks for everyone who has backed The McCoy Jacket. You will have one of the first of these jackets and we are already in the process of making them even more special for you. PLEASE SHARE WITH YOUR RIDING BUDDIES! It really makes a difference and allows us to continue to bring the most stylish moto-products available!

Here are some fun stats about the campaign thus far!

  • Best Day In Tobacco History
  • Fully funded in 24 min
  • 407% funded as of now
  • 198 Backers as of now

Jacket Size and what about the Duffel???

Many of you have been asking about the mysterious duffle bag and if you can add one to your pledge. The answer is yes you can, do not cancel your current pledge, simply adjust the level of your pledge up by $40. We are working on finishing the current sample and will get pictures to you as soon as we do. We launched the campaign before getting the sample back because we felt it necessary so we could get production of the jackets finished in the fall.

How does if fit? 

All personal info like, address, size, and jacket color will be collected after the campaign is finished. We will be doing a detailed size video to help you determine what size jacket you prefer. Stay tuned for an update for all those tall riders who can't find a jacket that fits!

Thanks again everybody, keep riding!

Dave
