I did a little search for the ipod jeans I mentioned yesterday, that I first mentioned here twenty years ago. And I can save the results here for posterity! BBC reported on them and BBC are pretty good at keeping their old pages online. They said
Levi makes iPod controlling jeans
Denim giant Levi Strauss has designed a pair of jeans able to control a wearer's Apple iPod music player.
The RedWire DLX Jeans will have an iPod remote control and docking station fitted in its pockets, and comes complete with attached headphones.
To be launched in August, the jeans will cost approximately $200 (£114).
Levi Strauss is not the first to produce iPod-compatible clothing, but it is believed to be the first to do so for trousers or jeans.
No pictures have yet been revealed of the RedWire DLX, or details of how exactly the owner will be able to wash them.
Well there are pictures of them now as these guys are selling an original pair, for £400.
I'm not sure I would have liked them really. They look a bit like the twisted levis that I do still have, though they're a bit too ragged to be cool now. They're inbetween ripped jeans cool and well preserved old jeans, I don't think they're wearable. But anyway enough about my old trousers, if you were worried about putting your ipod through the washing machine it looks like the bit that controls the ipod is detachable.
Sadly I don't think there's any need for this with the bluetooth we have now.
