Limited to 400 Founder Jackets — once they’re gone, they’re gone.
I’ve launched too many “surefire” ideas to count—far ahead of their time and invariably derailed by the real world. In 2014 it was e-bikes; by 2020 it was a social-impact startup. Each time, I emerged with notebooks full of scribbles, dissertations stacked to the ceiling, and a business plan that read like a novel—and yet still something was missing.
Then, over coffee with a friend, I half-joked, “If only the shirt on my back was made of gold.” They laughed—until the seed of possibility took root. What if every stitch could hold value? What if your everyday garment could literally be your bank?
That same evening, I poured my scattered notes into a custom AI model I’d trained on years of research and personal journals. In moments, the flood of disconnected ideas coalesced into three deceptively simple questions:
What if the shirt on your back could save you?
What if investing were as easy as buying a t-shirt?
What if that investment were… in yourself?
With that spark, TSOMB—The Shirt On My Back—was born.
A “company” is nothing more than a name on paper and a number in a register—a legal fiction we all trust to hire people, hold bank accounts, and transact billions every day. So why can’t an item of clothing do the same?
Imagine unzipping your TSOMB jacket and discovering 20 Vested Tokens (TSV) stitched into the seam. Real equity. No speculation, no loan—just ownership. Over the next year, dividends trickle in, paid directly into the tiny cold wallet tucked inside your pocket:
Sounds like science fiction? Or like the sort of “crazy” idea that makes you wonder why nobody tried it sooner.
Wearing TSOMB isn’t just a style choice; it’s a lifeline. Picture your friend stuck at a bus stop with no wallet and no phone. You hand them your coat, they scan a QR code, and boom—funds for a ticket, a hot meal, or an Uber home. Then they hand it back, and your equity—and your warmth—remains intact. That’s what it means to carry your bank on your back.
Why do we happily pay high prices to prestige brands only to parade their logo like unpaid billboards? Quality should speak for itself. TSOMB flips the branding paradox: minimalist, logo-free designs that spark the question, “What are you wearing?” The answer isn’t a flashy label—it’s your stake in a revolution.
Blockchain and crypto has gained a bad image due to the carbon heavy pools it uses to mine. Profit without purpose is hollow. From day one, every TSOMB garment carries a promise to:
A jacket that warms you and heals the planet—now that’s a conversation starter, and actively offsetting the carbon costs of the blockchain element from day one.
we explored how a passing joke—“if only my shirt was gold”—and a flicker of AI-driven insight ignited a movement. Now, let’s talk about how TSOMB sustains itself, scales its impact, and unites on-chain art with wearable equity.
We built the TSOMB Hedge Token (TSH) fund, a diversified engine that:
Each TSOMB sale fuels this self-sustaining engine of profit and purpose. No institutions required—our community raises its own capital, plants forests, and funds innovation.
TSOMB is the first 100% on-chain NFT marketplace where:
None of this would exist without AI’s role in shaping, testing, and scaling the vision. I trained a bespoke model on:
Today, our AI assists new members—answering questions, guiding them through whitepapers, and helping designers and developers prototype their own TSOMB integrations.
I know it sounds absurd—like Bitcoin once did when it first cracked $100. But contactless payments, online banking, and digital art all began as “crazy talk.” A self-funding jacket that plants forests, shares profits, and carries your savings? The people who laughed first will be the ones asking where to get theirs.
This isn’t just a product launch—it’s an invitation to co-create a fairer, greener future. Whether you’re a student, an artist, an engineer, or someone who believes in collective empowerment:
Strap on your TSOMB, zip up your courage—and let’s prove together that the simplest garment can spark the greatest revolution in fashion, finance, and our planet’s future.
