The makers of a hooded jacket with a range of accessories for the smart drinker, including a hidden flask pocket and a bottle-opener zipper, sought to raise $50,000 when they Kickstarted the project in November. Now, with hours to go before the funding stage is over, the Drinking Jacket has raised a whopping $456,000, more than nine times the required amount.
Touted as "the ultimate gift for any drinker," the jacket also sports non-slip grips built right into the sleeves, a place to store your sunglasses, and a "beer koozie" pocket.

The Drinking Jacket was created by Zane Lamprey, host of the crowdfunded show "Chug", where Lamprey visits different foreign cities to learn about drinking culture.
If you’re looking to snag a Drinking Jacket of your very own at the Kickstarter price of $85, you’ll need to move quickly -- the project will accept funding for only a couple more hours.
According to the project page, The Drinking Jacket will retail for $95 + shipping.
