The following collection and brand was inspired by my own skydiving ad-venture. I learned a lot from my skydiving instructors Adam and Aar-on. Following my jump, Aaron asked if I would be interested in making him a jumpsuit. I was, to say the least. Being that I am definately a “newbie” when it comes the skydiv-ing world I know very little about
skydiving attire. So, I began my research on sky-diving jumpsuits. Which, isn’t to say I hadn’t already looked them up before I made my first jump. A girl has to be dressed properly for all occasions!
This the first entry in my Log Book!
First, I will tell you a little about skydivers. They are good people who have safety in mind. Willing to help, eager to jump and make new friends who are also pas-sionate about SKYDIVING!

I be-lieve, that any jumper investing in a jumpsuit wants quality. I would like to provide time-less durable and stylish jumpsuits to jumpers. So I decided to cre-ate my own brand, Altico and provide jumpsuits to local skydivers.
slower. These are a few things I considered while designing this col-lection. Jumpers who jump in teams and groups teams desire spe-cific qualities in their jumpsuits. I believe experiencing this would benefit my future designs of suits that are made for those who jump in groups. My research into current jump-suit designs included fabric. I dis-covered that many designers use a Cordura®, Supplex® nylon and Spandex in their jumpsuits. My understanding is that they use spandex to help a ‘jumper’ ob-tain a faster fall rate and because of its elastic properties. Supplex® is used because of its high water and wind resistant properties. Sup-plex® also has high abrasion and tear resistant qualities. Cordura® was designed to be long-lasting and have resistance to abrasions and tears. Spandex is often used on
