Commuter Tie to Carry Your iPod Nano

It would seem that people just can't stop finding new ways for you to carry around your iPod. Made by Pink "London's leading Jermym Street Shirt Maker" of 100% silk, the limited edition commuter tie features a pocket on the reverse to hold your iPod Nano and an extra fabric loop to keep headphone wires out of sight and close to your body. I'm not sure of there is something absolutely wrong with this idea or if it's rebelliously cool. Available for about $85.00US direct from Pink.

Alessi Watch

Full of Italian design goodness this watch by Alessi is one of my favourites. Features a integrated brown leather strap, light blue dial (mine has a white dial) and matte silver aluminum case. Not the most rugged of watches and the strap does change color as you perspire but it is beautiful looking timepiece. I always seemed to wear this watch when I was out and about in Bangkok - it has a certain casual elegance. A beautiful watch for a very reasonable price. $90.00US at Retromodern.

Paul Smith Target Cuff Links

I have one shirt and one shirt only that requires cuff links. It was bought by mistake but now that I have it I love it. If I really must ditch the t-shirt and I have the opportunity it's great fun to wear these acceptable pieces of jewelry by Paul Smith. These Target Cuff Links have the added benefit of hypnotizing all those around you. Could be fun with the right people. $108.00US at Neiman Marcus.

Lossless Wallet

When you get sucked into buying every kind of techie geek stuff imaginable (convergence, when, when?), it’s hard to find carrying cases that have enough individual pockets for all the different gadgets you want to carry around. Civilian Labs make a rather unique harness bag that allows you to carry all your gadgets at once. I wouldn't be caught dead wearing one in an urban area but I can certainly see their utility when you are traveling. The products I did like on their site were the above, the lossless wallet and the cell gear case. Though it conjures up memories of big bellied truck drivers, with large leather wallets hanging out their ass, the lossless wallet has a great deal of value to those of us worried about losing everything when in Bangkok. I've lost my mind there in the past but thats another story.

You can order from their site.
