iPod jacket available for pre-order

Koyono today announced that its first made-for-iPod garment, the BlackCoat Work, is on sale via the company's website. First unveiled in mid-January, the BlackCoat Work is a light jacket made from water resistant stretch cotton, and includes integrated controls for Apple's iPod digital media players. The fabric interfaces which enable the embedded controls are made from ElekTex--a unique five-layer laminate of electrically conductive materials that transforms fabric into an electronic touchpad. Koyono's BlackCoat Work stretch cotton jacket will begin shipping May 15th for $180. The company also announced that a limited-edition version of the garment made from Nextec Flathead nylon with Epic waterproofing is slated for shipment on March 30th for $250.
