Allowing iPod-users to wear their music on their sleeve, Kenpo's technology enabled line of jackets employs ElekTex patented "smart fabric" touch pad technology to transform the sleeve into a 5-button electronic control panel for use with all iPod models (expect for the iPod Shuffle). The discreetly placed 100% fabric interface utilizes touch-sensitive buttons that are identical to those found on an iPod, meaning wearers can play, pause, track forward, track back, and change the volume levels without ever removing their iPod from the specially designed, padded interior pocket. Absent of any wires or a metal contact, the jacket is machine washable, completely self-powered and requires no batteries.

"Our expanded line of Kenpo Jackets for iPod integrates form and function with personal expression and style. Our jackets take technology and fashion and interweave them to create an exciting new soundtrack to everyday life," said Kenpo director Tom Krutilek. "Now iPod lovers have the opportunity to control their own environment in 15 more stylish ways."

Kenpo's Jacket for iPod is available in 15 men's and women's styles, has a suggested retail price range depending on style from $89 to $189 and are available at Nordstrom, DrJays.com, JC Penney, JCPenney.com, Belk, Bon-Ton, Carson Pirie Scott, Elder-Beerman, Younkers, Bergner's, Boston Store, Herberger's, Hammacher Schlemmer, Academy Sports and many other domestic and international stores.
