Inc. Magazine Lauds SCOTTEVEST as a Fast Growing Company to Watch in their Annual List

#77 Fastest Growing Consumer Products & Services Company in US, #1386 Overall

Ketchum, ID - August 24, 2011- SCOTTEVEST has gained a foothold as #77 of the top 500 fastest growing, privately-held Consumer Products & Services Companies according to the 2011 Inc. 500|5000 list.  SCOTTEVEST, an innovative clothing company based in Ketchum/Sun Valley, Idaho is also the #1386 overall fastest growing privately-held company in the US. SCOTTEVEST is stepping in some auspicious footsteps as many of today’s most successful U.S. companies first received national recognition via Inc. 500. This elite group includes Microsoft, Timberland, Vizio, Intuit, Jamba Juice, Oracle, and Zappos.com.

SCOTTEVEST is one of the first clothing brands launched entirely online and only began selling to select retailers this year. Scott Jordan, the innovative mind behind the company, began designing clothing as the solution to a problem: he wanted to carry and easily access all the gadgets he needed while air commuting weekly across the U.S.  Jordan, along with wife Laura, designed and manufactured a travel vest with unique pocket systems allowing the wearer to comfortably carry iPhones, iPads, passports, in an organized way without sacrificing style. Jordan later added to the pocket concept when his headphone wires got hung up in a doorjamb, by designing a patented system to keep wires from dangling off clothing and getting tangled. The couple continued to increase the SCOTTEVEST line from a simple vest to over thirty cleverly-pocketed garments for men and women.

As cited by Inc., SCOTTEVEST has had an impressive 205% three-year growth rate.  SeV’s 40% repeat customer rate can be attributed in part to CEO Scott Jordan’s loyal customer base fostered through the use of social media, a visually appealing website, and weekly YouTube videos, many of which regularly receive views in the thousands. In fact they have developed a sort of cult following with a weekly “Pocket Guide” and videos like “SCOTTEVEST Exposed: CEO Scott Jordan Undresses to Reveal New Travel Boxers” - a short featuring Jordan in his boxers.
