Client Presentation Feedback
When we presented our updated design to the Star Harbor Team they were impressed by the creativity of our approach. Of all the many designs that they reviewed, they said that ours was unique to incorporate the karate gi. Overall, they liked the inclusive sizing design, but wanted more features to ensure that jacket top would not fly up exposing the wearers midriff during zero g flights. If given more time, our team would have liked to incorporate internal cinch system that would keep the top and bottom garments together.
