Levi's RedWire DLX iPod jeans

Ok, yeah, we get it already, we get it. The iPod's popular, bajillions and gamillions sold, etc., and  the final frontier for iPod accessories is clothing. Who's the latest to jump on that particular bandwagon? None other than Levi's, of course, whose forthcoming RedWire DLX jeans will have a built-in docking cradle (front or back pocket, we wonder?), and retractable headphones -- all of which we assume will be detachable if they have any intentions of letting you wash them. Then again, jeans do look best when never, ever washed, so who the hell knows.

[Thanks to everyone who sent this in]

This just in: the docking station will be fitted in the crotch area.

A jacket I can understand, I mean.. these are shit though.

Stupid idea Levis..

Now that's an interesting combo: an obsessively protected-from-scratches iPod, and fashionably worn, torn faded jeans.

Will they support the ipod with 10" screen? :P

i wasn't quite so sure that i wanted to kill myself before. now, not only am i certain of what i have to do, but i have been inspired to devise specific methods, plan out a materials budget, and create a short list of those i intend to take with me. the only question remaining: iCoffin, or iUrn?

Yes, but you need a wire because it hangs off your pe-...well, I think you know where it goes.

OK, call me lame, but I might actually consider wearing a pair when I travel. It's always a bit of a pain to stash my iPod somewhere on those 12-hour trans-oceanic flights. A jacket is usually too bulky to wear on the plane, and cargo pants are not as convenient as these would be with the built-in controls.

evo, jeans laced with wires and electronics gear sound like the perfect travel accessory, especially when going through airport security. Have a good flight, and an even better pre-boarding strip search! :)
