The iPod Suit, an elegant gadget

Here’s a dashing and urbane suit designed by Bagir and Eleksen that transforms the suit’s lapel into a control panel for controlling iPods. Only by making the universal gesture of reaching for a weapon inside the jacket pocket to control the iPod. The suit is machine-washable and wrinkle-resistant, so no matter what sort of fights occur at the office, the iPod suit will be ready to go for another day’s adventure in no time.
The Marks & Spencer hands-free iPod suit - in wool with added Lycra and electronic wizardry - is going into nine stores. It is to be priced at £149 - £90 for the wired-for-sound jacket and £59 for the trousers. A spokeswoman for the store chain described it as a “classic black pinstripe, two-button, modern-cut suit”.
An iPod connector is sewn inside the pocket and the jacket includes a cunning system of loops to keep the earphone wires tidily out of sight. But there are also drawbacks - wearers will have to switch to manual and disconnect the device when they want to switch artists or albums.
“The cut of the suit follows the dictates of the latest fashion; hence from the outside it looks like a regular well-made suit,” said a statement from Bagir.
“With a few presses on the sleeve buttons, the wearer can easily play, pause and rewind the songs on his player, as well as adjust the volume.”
