前一阵子，一款有33 pockets, removable sleeves and a hood的运动夹克非常流行。问题是，How many pockets are too many? 也许只有邦德在安置他那些spy gadgets的时候才需要这么多的口袋。那么，时下最流行的服饰是什么？当然是iPod服装了！音乐播放器iPod已经成为很多人的生活必备品，时尚界现在把iPod融入服装，149英镑（不到300美元）就能享受这种新科技。对于喜欢随时随地听音乐，却又懒得掏出播放器调节的时尚人士来说，这无疑是个非常酷的产品。

Jackets and Coats for the iPod Enthusiast

The suit jacket integrates ElekTex smart fabric touchpad technology, which transforms a lapel into a 5-button electronic control panel. The five button control system provides play, pause, volume, and track forward/backward control. These controls allow for full functionality of your iPod without having to remove it from the coat.
这种衣服使用了称为Elektex的“聪明布料”工艺，把衣领变成有5个按钮的控制器——包括播放、暂停、音量、曲目前进/后退按钮。有了这些按钮，使用者无需把iPod从口袋里拿出来便可以完成所有的操作。

How to use Elektex 使用方法：
The following simple steps describe how one uses the Elektex iPod controls in a Koyono Made for iPod jacket.

1 Select Playlist. 选择播放曲目
2 Lock the iPod. 给iPod上锁
3 Connect iPod. 将iPod与服装提供的插头连接
4 Store iPod in special pocket. 将iPod放入特制的衣袋
5 Unlock control pad by pressing the Forward button for 3 seconds. 按住前进按钮3秒解锁控制面板
6 Select the desired function. Control pad automatically locks after 10 seconds. 执行想要的操作。控制面板10秒后自动上锁。

毫无疑问，时尚的iPod服装既fashionable又functional。It's machine-washable and wrinkle-resistant, so ideal for day-to-day use in the office. 这种衣服可以机洗并且还是防皱面料，所以非常适于作办公着装。当然啦，before washing the coats, remove the electronic box that links your iPod to the control pad，洗涤时千万不要把这些电子控件丢进洗衣机。
