OK, so we all know you already have a penchant for slick tunes and phat beats, or you wouldn’t be here, but this is one for my cyberspace peeps who like to combine that with a bit of a ramble. Now, when I say ‘ramble’ I don’t mean those of you who like witter on aimlessly for hours on end to anyone that will listen, about nothing in particular, on all manner of subjects, with no actual real point (and breathe).

All you style-conscious fashionistas want to look the part when you’re out hiking; you can’t just go out in any old togs. So what if I told you that you could do away with the unsightly iPod belt clip that has caused untold bruising to your hip as you’ve racked up the miles over the years, by seamlessly building it into an all-in-one get-up that is both practical and stylish? You’d say I was lying, right? Well, I’m not. German company Lodenfrey have developed exactly that.

iPod Lederhosen are here to stay people. Get on the bandwagon, or get left behind.
