How cool is this? ... with Carling.

how cool is this.

It's only a matter of time before Skynet becomes self aware...

Clothing brand Opening Ceremony has joined forces with battery makers mophie to create the world’s first smartphone-charging jacket. Batteries on smartphones are notoriously fickle and as a friend of ours says “you can forget about it once you turn on that feckin’ WiFi”. We hear you buddy, so perhaps this varsity jacket could be the ideal Christmas present for you. Inside the front pocket of the gold sleeved letterman jacket you will find a USB cord to charge your phone. How clever of them… 120495_4 The jacket is capable of charging your phone twice before it itself has to be recharged, so don’t you worry people, it doesn’t charge the jacket through black magic, it has to be plugged in as well... *JOE checks anxiously around the room for ghosts before returning to work*. The good news for all you money rich scoundrels out there is that the jacket will set you back a staggering €375, for that kind of money we could buy two phones and hold the second one in reserve until we need it. Still, it's very cool. Hat-tip to Elitedaily.
