The wonderful worlds of hi-tech and high fashion have collided yet again – this time to produce an iPod integrated jacket.

Los Angeles fashion house Kenpo have rolled out two iPod jackets especially for music lovers who want to keep warm and entertained this winter.

The Kenpo jackets are available in two ladies parka designs and four boating jacket/parka designs for the gents.

All items come with a five-button touchpad situated on the sleeve, made from “smart fabric touchpad technology” – a soft and unrestrictive material that allows users to navigate their iPod with ease.

The jackets also feature an interior pocket designed to accommodate an iPod or iPod mini.

Amazingly, these jackets are fully machine washable, self-powered and require no batteries.

Perfect for the winter, the Kenpo iPod jackets will be available from the company website next month.
