The newest additions to the successful BlackCoat line of outerwear will inspire men to more seamlessly balance work, travel and entertainment with maximum ease, style and comfort. Theses new outerwear forms, named Work, Sport, and Surf carry the Made for iPod label.
Along with the catwalk-ready forms and high-performance materials, they each include ElekTex, a smart fabric technology that has been integrated into the lapels as iPod control pads.
This allows the wearer to leave an iPod tucked away safely inside a specially-designed pocket but still have full control over all aspects of the iPod, including volume, track changes, and even the power switch. Each of the four new jackets includes advanced water protection and pocketing for commuting or travel.
KOYONO President, Jay Yoo adds, “Adding the ElekTex controls to this line creates what I call Wah-Wah Fashion. Just like Jimi Hendrix used the Wah-Wah pedal to finesse his tone, you can use the controls to finesse your environment. Every situation can now have the perfect soundtrack.”
