Clothing For Gadget Guys

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the right-here-in-my-pocket dept.

Andru Edwards writes "In an article looking at the advancements in clothing for gear loving professionals, it becomes apparent that you no longer need to sacrifice your gadgets for style. SCOTTeVEST has recently released a sport jacket, khakis, and tie all specifically tailored with hidden pockets and compartments for businessmen who don't want to leave their tech at home. The clothing includes an integrated tunnel system which allows you to hide all the wires affiliated with your devices within the lining of the item, aptly dubbed the "Personal Area Network"."

      These are functional, not really for style. Lance Armstrong has been seen using them (may have helped design them), as they are designed for sports where wires can get in the way. http://www.engadget.com/entry/3238124135734335/

    For those looking for good quality and style, do a search for 5.11 FBI pants on Google.

    They're a cross between normal kahkis and cargo pants, and they are very comfortable to wear.

    I don't believe it either--if he really had one of these jackets, he could have run the wires better than this.

  4. TEC for women? It's called a purse! by rynthetyn · · Score: 2, Informative

    Unlike men's clothing designers, who have largely ignored the need to tote around technology (leading to a market for TEC products), handbag designers have responded quite rapidly to the need to tote around massive quantities of technology.

    Most handbags sold today have specific compartments for phones, PDAs, pens, etc. About six years ago, before I went to college, I worked selling handbags at a big name department store, and even then, there were quite a few bags with specific cell phone pockets, because if nothing else in fashion is, handbag design is very much driven by consumer specifications.
