Retro Stonewashed Denim Jacket....Of the Future?  E-mail

Solar JacketDon Bogner Jeans' solar jacket and you have the power. The power to charge your iPod anyway. The jacket has several integrated solar patches, an internal battery for storing charge when none of your devices are low on juice, and Bogner promises that it delivers enough power to charge a laptop computer. yes, it is marginally environmentally useful, and solar powered clothing certainly seems geeky, but Bogner's execution strays wildly from cool and into unfortunately fashionable, ensuring that the Jacket's target demographic spends more time at the stylist than at LAN parties.

Kudos for a good idea, but I'll hold off on my purchase until they make one that looks like it will go well with my collection of Homestar Runner shirts.
