The Marks & Spencer hands-free iPod - cell phone business suit

suitpa.jpg Marks & Spencer is to stock a business suit for men too busy, or too lazy, to pull their iPods out of their pockets. The Guardian reports.

"The suit uses hi-tech "smart fabric" technology to build in lapel controls that allow the wearer to jump tracks on their MP3 player without the strain of actually removing the device from their pocket.

The Elektex fabric, developed by the Aim-listed Eleksen group, brings a whole new meaning to the term "lapel button". It claims to turn a standard lapel "into a five-button electronic control panel" and "transforms clothing into must-have fashion for the billion-dollar portable MP3 and mobile phone market"."

Dry clean only.
