Personal Area Network Jacket

Filed in archive Products on June 5, 2006

It's obvious that military developments have some impact on Techwear. The review of the SCOTTeVEST Milan Leather Jacket reminds me of the picture from soldiers with uncountable stuff loaded. This "civil" jacket is kind of overloaded with pockets ;-) I mean 41 pockets - how will I ever remember where I had what? But maybe thats the trick: after I learned the place and meaning of every little pocket I will never ever buy another one.. :-)

Anyway, it includes a PAN - a personal area network to connect all these little electronic helpers we may need today.

Here are some of the features:

* Specialized pockets: earbud pocket, pen/stylus pockets, and bottle holder.
* Some pockets can be combined to form larger ones by unzipping the pocket separators.
* Lamb skin leather is amazing. The design is impeccable.
* Huge back pocket is great for magazines, files, and even a small laptop computer.
* Available in Chocolate Brown

Looking at the interior, you'll find a host of pockets, some with mesh finishes and individual zippers. The see-through mesh helps you in finding the item you need, which could range from flash memory cards, styli, or headphones. Other pockets are less obvious, keeping more expensive items hidden from view whether you have your jacket zipped up or not. A few pockets near the lower portion of the vest can open up to larger sizes via a Velcro strip.

You can run a headphone cord from a rubber clip near the collar of the jacket to the bottom interior pocket. That way you can keep your iPod or cell phone in an interior pocket with the cord hidden, rather than flapping around in the wind while you walk.
