Truth be told, it's been
awhile since we've seen a gadget-laced
jacket that really caught our eye. There's the occasional
winter coat with a built-in iPod slot, and there's a few
unaffordable threads that don't much matter to the vast majority of you, but it's difficult to think of a single overcoat that's as connected as this. Teased by Scottevest, the forthcoming Carry-On-Jacket is as functional as it is delightful, with an internal pocket made specifically for touchscreen devices so you'll never even have to reach inside to skip tracks. There's also an internal Personal Area Network (PAN), a dedicated BlackBerry (or any smartphone, really) holder, passport pouch, a digital camera compartment,
iPad pocket (er, "PadPocket") and a separate area made specifically for those zip-locked liquids that you'll need easy access to at the
TSA screening zone. Needless to say, the avid traveler with a pinch of geek lust should be grinning from ear-to-ear just gazing at this masterpiece, and honestly, we could see this converting even the hardest of hardcore Rollaboard warriors. Now all we need is a price and release date, STAT.

Where's the buy button?
@Alv Man, buy this only if you want to "enjoy" a Terry frisk, search, and pat-down walking by cops in any major metropolitan area.
@Alv
Is that a roll of quarters in your pocket or is your iPad just happy to see me?
@Alv
Haha. Holy shit there's a pair of shoes in there. Seriously.
Why are there shoes on on a clean shirt?
@Alv I wonder if i can steal one of those jackets with one of those jackets
@Alv I can imagine going through the security at the airport like Neo in the matrix when they stop him in the building and he opens his vest and shows his guns, although instead of guns I have a bunch of electronic devices and liquids, which may get me in more trouble in a trench coat like apparel with wires running between all of the devices...
@MrFluffyThing I see another scenario, Apple Fanboy walks into a Microsoft Bar, he gets called and gets his iPhone out of the pocket and *boom* all MS guys look at him, he opens his jacket and boomerang-throws iPad at the guys and cuts their heads off and then does the Matrix fight with his White Apple headphones
@Alv Impressive. But can it multitask?
@Alv
LOL @ spies buying this ...
- "Wait, what was that noise in the shadows ?"
*clank* *clack* *clank* *clack*
@MrFluffyThing
"a bunch of electronic devices and liquids"--and a pair of shoes. if they haven't settled on the name yet, i nominate "the richard reid."
@okok only Apple Fanboys bought i
you buy this coat, and then you put another one in the clothes pocket and BAM! 100% MORE EFFICIENCY!!!!!!!!
@Alv It has a pocket for both your iPhone & your smartphone...
Because nothing says "additional screening" like a bulging tench coat.
@JonathanMurray This... dear god this. I can only imagine the length of time it will take to get through security wearing this.
@JonathanMurray I wear my Scottevest all the the time while traveling. This would be folded up and run through the scanner.
@JonathanMurray Read the bottom right corner of the ad.

i want one of these!
Do. Want. I have a feeling my padpocket or whatever its called would go to waste until the notion ink adam comes out!
Perfect for your inner kleptomaniac/pack rat.
not very fashionable lol, I wonder how popular this will be
Also available: satchels, briefcases, and coats that don't make you look like special needs.
I wonder how much explosives one could fit into this garment.
@Chas Percodani One doesn't need any, not when there are already pockets for liquids.
"I said ‘come in,’ don’t just stand there!”
“I said ‘come in,’ don’t just stand there!”
You can be fashion victim and commit a crime against fashion at the same time.
@magusxxx Well I for one welcome are new overcoat overlords.
@Pickaxe EDIT BUTTON #$%#%@#%@^$^$#^%
That's gonna be a bastardo to through security and then customs at the other end.
I really want so see the the face of the in airport security guy when someone comes with this jacket fully loaded. I don't think he/she will ever get in the plane.
If you really put all of that stuff in there it would weigh so much and you would totally look like an idiot especially if you tried to sit. The people who came up with this do know what backpacks exist right.
Oh noes! There's no pocket for a wallet, whatever to do??? :O lol
This reminds me of the travellers colostomy bag from the movie Euro Trip.
It also strikes me as the kind of thing that only people with autism of at least low levels would ever consider.
Pad Pocket? wtf kind of abomination is this
Do you take a Blackberry, an iPhone and an iPad into the shower ?
Not me !
"Do you kids like candy?"
This definitely won't make you look like a complete d bag and call for extra time at the security points
@Gi Like any other jacket, you'll have to take it off and run it through the X-Ray.
No thanks. I'll stick with my backpack. That thing can immobilize you!
Tech coat? lol. What else, USB friendly socks? Jeesh, get a life?
Wow, perfect for all my candy, milk and toys.
I'll be getting one of these for sure.
Go Go Gadget Coat!!
this is a KIRF of Inspector Gadget's coat.
Ka-boom
This might be the first time it has ever been said, but I think this belongs on Alt.
I have the ScottEVest and it's awesome for traveling. Well made and holds as much as an additional carry on bag!
A muggers paradise
i guess da designer probably has never gone to an airport coz if he has, he wudnt have designed this coz the person wearing this is probably gonna have a hard time clearing all those pockets at the security counter at the airport and then stuffing them back..
good one but a few drawback though!!
@ananworks I guess you have never been to an English class.
