::New Additions and Editions
Here at KOYONO we’ve already begun to ponder 2006 and what we’ve accomplished. A quick mea culpa and a boast:
1) We’ve added so many new products that people are having a hard time picking which one is the perfect one for them.
2) Our blog seems to be as interesting to people as our products.

We are dedicated to innovation and entrepreneurship as a culture and, as many of you have found, our blog, theblackcoat.com, is a representation of that. Aside from matters of products and commerce, we are sharing what we learn about running a virtual manufacturing company (our friends at Coghead recently taught us to refer to this format as a Bedouin company) or operating as an effective business person or citizen or GAI (genius, artist, or innovator). Thanks in part to Jay’s recent insights into how to make his Mac and his BlackBerry Pearl work magic together, our blog is seeing as much traffic as our website. Keep the comments coming. We are also looking for more KOYONO Ambassadors. If you would like to attend swanky events and spread the word about KOYONO, let us know. |

“I wear or carry the BlackCoat Sport all the time, it is the perfect companion for commuting on my Vespa. I really like it a lot.”
Guido Van Nispen, KOYONO Ambassador to The Netherlands
All of the coats that have been announced this year are finally in stock. It has been a learning experience for us as we moved to off-shore manufacturing (on more than one continent). We are ecstatic about the quality of the craftsmanship in these garments and relieved to finally have them in our hands. The stretch cotton jackets that have just arrived are made with Nanotex® fabric that repels water but breathes like cotton. Nanotechnology is used to transform the molecular structures of fibers and create fabrics that offer unsurpassed performance and comfort.
::Outerwear with nanotechnology featured on KOYONO.com this month:
BlackCoat Work: These new coats have just been received and are shipping to customers. Work comes in black and SandStone. ($199)
BlackCoat Surf: A brand new hybrid shirt/jacket format that makes it easier to carry gadgets when a full jacket is more than you need. Maintain that layered look even when it’s warm. Made with ultra-breathable yet water-resistant stretch cotton by Nanotex and with a slimming cut perfect for beach and boardwalk. ($169)
“Clothier Koyono walks a fine line with its iPod-controlling sports jacket. One button too many in the wrong place, one little ounce of extra heft in the wrong spot, and this piece of apparel would be relegated to the interesting-but-unwearable pile of techie togs.Thankfully, someone at Koyono knows the difference between cool and dorky.”
