Levi's RedWire DLX iPod jeans

A quick heads-up to Fall '06.

Now we all know how hugely popular the iPod is. Billions and gazillion pieces sold worldwide. The final frontier for iPod accessories is clothing. And who's the latest to jump on that particular bandwagon? None other than jeans-maker Levis is keeping its date with technology. Come Fall and Levis will launch the new Levi's RedWire DLX Jeans worldwide.

Designed for both men and women, the jeans will seamlessly integrate iPod plug-and-play technology, using an iPod docking cradle, which will be invisibly housed within a side pocket.

Interestingly a special joystick remote control will be externally designed into the jeans' watch pocket to enable easy operation of the iPod. Four way controls will allow the wearer to easily navigate, play/pause, track forward, track back and adjust volume without removing the device from the pocket. Sounds groovy.... In addition, a handy retractable headphone unit has been built directly into the garment to help prevent tangles and efficiently manage the earphone wires.

Now we assume all of this will be detachable, if they have any intentions of letting you wash your jeans! Then again, jeans do look best when never, ever washed, so who knows.
