Today on a whim I asked Ryan for a random search phrase. He came up with "nerdy clothing trends". The first result was an article from 2002 talking about the Scott eVest. The number of pockets piqued our interest, so we went to scottevest.com and checked them out. Hahaha! Hilariously great.
Up to 52 stealth pockets and a number of advanced features like embeddable solar panels to charge your devices. This clothing trend might not be as nerdy we thought. If I was lost in the woods, I hope I'd have my fully stocked jacket!

Make Your Own Nerdy Clothing
Most of the nerdy clothing I have seen is homemade. Many people are using sites like CafePress.com to make and sell their own stuff. Why let someone else decide what you wear?

Functional Clothing
True nerds know, clothing is functional. Form is secondary. Design is arbitrary. Does it work?
