grooveRider iPod shirt
URBAN TOOL, an Australian company, has just released the grooveRider, a shirt with iPod controls built into it using 'smart fabric.' The front of the shirt has all the buttons you need to control your iPod (video, mini, and nano supported) whilst it is nestled snuggly in a pocket. Cable routing ensures that you won't hook your earphones on anything while you are grooving with this shirt.The shirt costs $198 AUD (which is around $150), so if you have a need to look like an urban tool this is the shirt for you (and you should pose just like the dude in the picture for the full effect).[via Engadget]
URBAN TOOL's grooveRider iPod shirt
Just in case Ermenegildo Zegna's luxurious iPod jacket was a tad rich for your blood, or you just want that same utility in an everyday shirt, Australia's URBAN TOOL has you covered. Presumably designed for the always pleasant Aussie climate, this lightweight garment sports a joey-approved "secure pocket" to hold your iPod, nano, or mini, while the "smart fabric interface" allows you to control your 'Pod with the touch of a finger. If you're down with donning tees that resemble a scrub top, and don't mind fondling your own chest to crank up the volume or skip a track, the grooveRider shirt comes in black, khaki, and "savannah" colors, while boasting the ability to survive a wash cycle without any loss of button functionality. So if wheeling around that scroll wheel is just too inconvenient for you, this debatably fashionable iPod controller can simplify things for a whopping AUD$198 ($149).[Via AVing]
