The Italian fashion brand MUSIC and SONS address some clothing issues with thier T-Shirt collection.
The first problem they address is the wire management in our electronic devices by integrating headphone wires seamlessly into the T-Shirts.
MUSIC and SONS is also using naturally sustainable materials like BAMBOO in their products. This natural fiber is hypoallergenic, absorbent, and is naturally anti-bacterial so it will not hold odor. It also is the most sustainable of the natural fibers, reaching a mature height of 75 feet in just 45 to 60 days. And, because of its natural antibacterial properties, it needs no pesticides.
ORGANIC COTTON plays a big part in MUSIC and SONS T-Shirt collection as well and only 100% pure organically grown cotton is used.
Last but not least, all T-Shirts are hand printed

I love this shirt and I love this idea. Back in July, we had an article running about the Hotspot Bloom from Karen Lee, a former student from Parsons School of Design. She created in 2004 a concept to use a wearable flower with an integrated color LED to indicate if and how strong a WiFi signal is nearby.
The WiFi Detector Shirt is bringing this idea now – finally – to reality. According ThinkGeek, the WiFi Detector Shirt will be available at end of this month for $ 29.99

The BAMBOO fabric feels very good on the skin, soft and light. I appreciate the skills of Italian design and manufacturing, they make perfect fitting clothing like no other – I am always amazed by the sophisticated cut and the BLACK-eco is no exception. The printing is nicely done with the touch off being hand made, slight distortions that give character.
The earphone connector on the back is well hidden and hardly visible when no earphone is plugged in. Instead of using conductive yarn from the connector in the front pocket up to the earphone connector, a ‘normal’ very soft wire is used which is sewed into the seam on the side of the T-Shirt.
This might not be the most sophisticated integration of electronic components into fabrics but I ..read more

Uranium, the French company we reported about last year, has come up with a T-Shirt with an integrated Display. The cost of the, we admit good looking, T-Shirts with display comes to a total of around 145.- Euro.
As far as we can figure out with our limited French language knowledge, the different elements like the ‘Display prepared’ Shirt, the display unit (available in two different sizes), the charger and the USB data cable have to be bought separately. So, don’t forget to collect all items before you check out.
There’s no mention about the announced Jeans with Display anywhere on the online store. On one hand, it would be really cool to have a Jean as well, on the other hand, a display that is not made completely out of fabric would ..read more
