Survival Java Jacket

The Survival Java Jacket is a much better looking solution than that crappy, tree wasting, cardboard band which keeps your fingers from getting burned by your paper coffee cup. You know what I'm talking about. The Survival Java Jacket is made from a single 19½ foot piece of gutted paracord (which has a working strength of 300 lbs.). [You can also special order them with ungutted 450 or 550 paracord if you want more insulation (or load strength) but the look and feel is slightly less nice.] When slid onto a small or large Smegabucks or Dinky Donuts paper coffee cup, it is about 2" tall and 11" circumference and snugly embraces the cup.

Between uses, it is completely flexible and takes up virtually no room in your pocket, briefcase, backpack, or purse; so you can always have it with you when you start jonesing for some hot, black, caffeine. You could even wear it on your wrist between fixes. (I hear the chicks dig that.) And before I forget to mention it, you'll love the way it feels in your hand. If you think you know what paracord feels like - fuggetaboudit. Bracelets made from paracord tend to feel a bit coarse because the knots are tightly tied and rather bumpy. Because this knot is looser, this feels much smoother and softer - but still provides a good grip. It feels even better off the cup.

Technically speaking the Survival Java Jacket is a 21 part, 20 bight Turks Head knot with a Gaucho weave (over two, under two). Math geeks will appreciate that the paracord crosses over or under itself 20 times (n+1 = # of parts) from the bottom to the top and makes the trip from the bottom to the top 20 times (# of bights = # of times cord changes direction). The two ends are heat sealed together for a permanent connection.
