I know I’ve been going off on all these cool iPod gadgets but this is wild. This Koyono jacket is made of an electro-fabric called Elektex that is washable and waterproof, the iPod controls are built-in.

I have to admit that I am not all that keen on the design. My vision would be more along the lines of a sport jacket for the tech exec, but hey this is like a concept car, right? If this takes off, there are plenty of designs I would love to see - one involves incorporating directional speakers into the collar of the garment. I’ll be following this with interest.
