Great week all around. We got closure rigid elements in the mesh, following the underlying surface, so we can now attach our QR or other tagging elements into those quite easily. This took much more fancy footwork than we were originally anticipating, but opens a lot of doors for us product-wise. We also made strides on improving the closure stability and strength, and improvements to our material science eval suite. Improvements we made to eyelets last week worked out great, and with these new, stronger closures, I’d like to start seeing how thin we can make the garment. Unfortunately, the new velcro hasn’t arrived yet, so I’ll have to test that out next week. We are also testing out some new ways to plane fit, I’ll be excited to see how that comes together. On the branding side, I’m playing with the name “starsocks” for our stockings, inspired by the patterns it left on my skin after extended wear with the too-tight one. Any thoughts would be appreciated!
