grooveRider iPod shirt

by Scott McNulty Oct 18th 2006 at 3:30PM

URBAN TOOL, an Australian company, has just released the grooveRider, a shirt with iPod controls built into it using 'smart fabric.' The front of the shirt has all the buttons you need to control your iPod (video, mini, and nano supported) whilst it is nestled snuggly in a pocket. Cable routing ensures that you won't hook your earphones on anything while you are grooving with this shirt.

The shirt costs $198 AUD (which is around $150), so if you have a need to look like an urban tool this is the shirt for you (and you should pose just like the dude in the picture for the full effect).

How do you wash it, though? It says washable, but I would think the wear and tear would ruin the connections quickly.

Damn it...here I thought you meant Grooverider like "Mysteries of Funk" Grooverider.

Sigh...that explains the completely lame capitalization of the name...and why TUAW would care about it.

URBAN TOOL sums up the look nicely.

So, you have to touch yourself to use your iPod?
