PERSEVERANCE and ugly first prototypes

The thing on the left is Warmfront protoytpe #1. ⠀
⠀
I wore this for a year - it was a WalMart thermal waffle undershirt that I cut up to test functionality, and see if this idea of a chest warmer would actually work. No business plan, no logo, no website.⠀
⠀
On the right is our current Koeslig winter design with a Polartec body and a custom sublimated collar from our friends at Phunkshun. ⠀
⠀
After sending out orders this week, I was reflecting on how far this idea, product and the company has evolved.⠀
⠀
About 3 years ago, I was sitting down late at night to work on The Warmfront - after a full day at a job. Honestly, I didn't care - I wasn't motivated. I remember feeling that nobody else cared about this thing. I spent that evening pondering whether or not to continue.⠀
⠀
I decided to commit - to doing one thing each day, that had a impact, big or small. Consistency. To improve. To ask for help. The product got better. The steps forward got bigger. Real things started happening.⠀
⠀
The first draft, first prototype, first rehearsal will always be ugly, rough and primitive. Probably the next few iterations too. But the key is to just keep going.⠀
