The Anxious Jacket anxiously greets or repels people, depending on the mood of the wearer. It is for the socially anxious souls who are at a loss for words when confronted with various social situations.
DESCRIPTION
The Jacket has two modes: extrovert and introvert mode. When The Jacket is zipped down it is in extrovert mode: when people approach The Jacket it greets and compliments them, flashing friendly pastel colors intended to attract passersby. When The Jacket is zipped up, it is in introvert mode: when people approach the jacket it sounds an alarm telling them to stay away, while flashing blindingly bright colors that are reminiscent of the lights on police cars.
