Urban Tool is a new age label based in Vienna, focusing on a new market between fashion, sport and mobile technology. Combining functionality and cool design, the Urban Tool products hold your personal items securely and comfortably in everyday life.



Urban Tool, has released, at the end of 2006, the grooveRider, a T-Shirt with iPod controls built into it using ’smart fabric.’ The front of the shirt has all the buttons needed to control an iPod (video, mini, and nano versions are supported).



The Urban Tool grooveRider t-shirt is a shirt to integrate your iPod in a secure pocket and to operate the

iPod directly through a smart fabric interface on the shirt. The shirt is connected to the iPod through

integrated wires and offers a special cable routing for headphones. You can start and stop your iPod, adjust the volume and choose tracks through the golden control panel.





Perfect carrying characteristics of the fabric make the shirt a very comfortable every day wear and all textile

parts including the fabric interface are washable with washing machine. The t-shirt is available for both men and women, in black. The material it's made of is a functional fabric for sport, breathable, with an 84% polyamid, 16% Lycra composition.



Offering not only efficiency, but also class and a clean style, the grooveRider iPod control t-shirt is perfect for leisure, sport, events and even traveling. The available sizes for women are XS, S and M, while those for men are M, L XL.



The grooveRider retails for 239..AUD, which is equivalent for 165 US dollars, a sum that seems to be worth paying for such an item, taking into consideration it's high-quality and stylish design too. For further information though, you'll have to contact the manufacturer directly.
