A new pair of jeans was on my shopping list for
Christmas. I was on the lookout for
something new and innovative when a friend recommended that I have a look at
the new Levi's Redwire DLX Jeans.
Levi's Redwire DLX Jeans
are a new range of 'iPod jeans' that features built-in headphones, joystick and
docking cradle.
The RedWire DLX range has been designed for both men and
women, and has a special side pocket with a white leather patch to store an
iPod.
A four-way joystick on the watch pocket allows the user to
play/pause, track forward/back and adjust the volume without removing the
player.
"In designing the jeans we considered both function and
fashion. The result is a uniquely functional, yet stylish, great fitting
jean," said Robert Hanson, Levi's US brand president.
Adding to the geek quotient are built-in, retractable
headphones and a docking cradle that allows users to look at their iPod screens
and control it via the jeans.
The company describes the jeans as "machine washable
once the iPod has been removed".
Though I love the idea, I don't know whether I will end up
buying a pair, carrying the iPod in my pocket seems to do the trick for me.
