iPod users can now benefit from a new jacket that enables them to look hip while listening to the hippest tunes.

The new Kenpo “Jacket for ipod” has a specially constructed pocket that enables wearers to keep their device safe as well as easily manage to manoeuvre its control buttons.

It utilises patented “smart touch” fabric, which transforms the sleeve of the jacket into a control panel

“The Kenpo Jacket for iPod is the pinnacle of form, function and personal style, in that technology and fashion, the two factors that have the greatest influence on the daily lives of the consumer, are now fully integrated to create an entirely new lifestyle genre,” said Kenpo vice president Joel Bernstein.

“Both fashion and music have always defined and inspired attitudes and personal style, and now people have the opportunity to better control their own environment, while enhancing their everyday life by setting it to music.”
