Ace Zipup: Elevated Activewear That Makes a Statement

Written by

Luxurious, performance-grade Festive-wear that’s versatile, signals confidence and sparks compliments
Check on Kickstarter

We create Performance Festive-wear™.  Men’s clothing designed to promote connection during standout moments without sacrificing comfort, re-wearability, or ease.

Kings wore crowns, robes, and gold. 
Today, men are left with muted tees, suits, and hoodies. 

Men’s style has evolved into separate uniforms that can’t cross occasions, from real life to celebration. This makes getting dressed feels like a chore…too plain, too uncomfortable, too fancy, too costume-y, too bare… just too much effort.

THE MIDDLE GROUND: Our first piece of Performance Festive-wear™. Incredibly soft and comfortable. Makes a statement without looking too try-hard. Wear across occasions: festivals, at the gym, the airport, or on the dance floor.

SIGNAL YOUR PRESENCE. This isn’t about trends. The cut, the pattern, the fit—they speak for you. Even when it’s layered over a tee, under a jacket, solo for festivities, or casual out and about.

SPARK COMPLIMENTS: Style is a fast track to your dream outcome. It helps start conversations that lead to connection, romance, opportunity…and those ‘exactly who I needed to meet’ moments.

STRONG SLEEVELESS CUT. Versatile athletic fit that’s structured where it counts (i.e the shoulders & chest), relaxed everywhere else...built for movement and confidence.

ELEVATED, YET BOLD PRINTS. The patterns speak volumes on your behalf. Inviting. Distinct. Memorable. Exclusively designed in-house for this launch, printed using our proprietary process.

ONE HOOD. TWO POWERS. Flip it up when the night gets cold or when you want a little space. Down, it’s relaxed and approachable. Up, it’s sharper, more focused. Your built-in presence switch.

SERIOUS PERFORMANCE. Outfit roulette on Amazon? We’ve been there. Unlike the cheap vests you’ve seen online, behind our shine is with fabric quality and utility features on-par with Vuori and Lululemon.

LUXURIOUS FEEL. Made with our performance knit that feels smooth and substantial the second it hits your skin. Think the softness of your favorite tee, leveled up with a weight and drape that feels premium, not flimsy. Breathable enough to move with you in the heat, yet structured enough to keep its shape.

VERSATILITY & EASE. Our first piece of Performance Festive-wear™ was created for every occasion. Designed to showcase your self-expression. One piece that flexes with your life: airport mornings, festival nights, everyday in-between.

We get it, not everyone wants to scream for attention. But you should still feel amazing in your fit.

LIMITED EDITION. Styles to match your mood: Shadow and Stealth for quieter, refined looks that work even for every day. Wilder & Wildest for fully printed, head-turning, conversation-starting moments.

MATCHING BANDANA. Made with the same silky, breathable fabric as the Ace Zipup. Add a touch of flair to any fit…or share the shine with your best friend (yes, even the four-legged kind).

BREATHABLE & NATURAL. Our proprietary fabric, AeroThread™, is a tree fiber-based blend —luxuriously soft, comfortable as your favorite tee, in an airy, breathable knit to withstand the heat.

DURABLE ZIPPERS & STITCHING: Wide-tooth zippers built for chaos. Smooth glide, zero snags. Reinforced stitching at every seam. Built for events that get messy, but stays sharp for the next.

POCKETS YOU CAN TRUST. No more overstuffed jeans or praying your phone makes it home. Two front zip pockets plus a hidden stash pocket keep your essentials safe, secure, and exactly where you need them.

LASTS THROUGH WASHES. Foil printing on premium fabric like the AeroThread™ is not traditionally done, and is notoriously hard. After months of R&D and testing, you get bold designs that last... on fabric that actually feels incredible.

TRIED ON REAL GUYS: We spent years of fit and fabric research, print testing, and global sourcing. Here’s how the Ace Zipup prototypes held up:

COMPLEMENTS YOUR WARDROBE.  No PhD in layering, no Pinterest boards required. Wear the Ace Zipup on its own, over plain t-shirt or tank. Pair with accessories to dress it up, or wear shorts or joggers to dress it down.

Congrats, you just out-styled 90% of guys. Get ready for compliments.

CONFIDENCE IS KING. When you have balance of mind, body, and soul, that’s true confidence. Wise, strong, and caring: the King archetype is the Mystic, Warrior, and Lover in harmony. Unmute your style, let the shine through, and step into your King energy.

IMAGINE THIS: the next tap on your shoulder isn’t someone squeezing past… it’s someone stopping to compliment your ‘fit.

And that moment? It’s ripe with potential.

STANDARD SIZING: The Ace Zip Up is offered in five versatile sizes (S, M, L, XL, 2XL) to fit most body types comfortably. The sizing will be true to size for typical US men’s sizes. Help us hit the milestones below, and we will be able to release a wider range of sizes to accommodate even more festive friends!

MACHINE WASHABLE, WRINKLE RESISTANT. We tested it through dust storms and repeat wash cycles. The Ace Zipup came out clean. Built for chaos, yet still looks like you planned it.

SPRING 2026: The Ace Zipup will arrive just in time for the summer season to complement your wardrobe and upgrade your vibe.
