Having raised €4.2million, the jacket has raised 229 times its original target, with a month still left to go on their funding run.

The impressive total means the travel jacket has become the 11th most funded project ever, and the sum raised is the most ever for a clothing product. Number one on the list is Star Citizen, a video game which raised over $87million in 2014.

The jacket consists of 14 main features, including pockets for your phone, passport, sunglasses and even a pocket blanket.

Although the jackets aren’t available now, they are available to pre-order, with the jackets aiming to be ready for November, just in time for Christmas.
