The LOOMIA H1 jacket is a heated jacket for the woman who seeks seamless comfort as she traverses her day. Created by Madison Maxey, Founder and chief innovation officer of New York-based Loomia, the coat was designed as a transitional layer for changing climates and temperatures.
The Brooklyn Fashion + Design Accelerator is helping Loomia source sustainable fabrics from our textile library and will be fulfilling the production run from pre-sale orders. Currently Maxey is using a wool tweed for the prototype and working with the BF+DA to source a washable wool for the full run. The insulation layer is Polartec.
Maxey says at the jacket’s heart is a thin, flexible, wire-free circuit board called the Loomia Electronic Layer (LEL).
“The LEL works as a plug-and-play component à la Gore-Tex or the YKK zipper, which clothing makers can integrate into their garments instead of having to build and test their own circuit board from scratch,” says Maxey.
