SCOTTEVEST's line of "Technology Enabled Clothing" includes a
TEC Sport Jacket with 14 hidden pockets, a baseball cap with hidden earloops,
and a "gadget tie" with a hidden zipper pocket for keys, candy, or credit
cards. There's even a limited edition of the Three.0 SeV jacket in black
leather. I didn't test any of these, but I did try a pair of all-cotton SeV
Hidden Cargo Pants (see accompanying product and X-ray photos).
 My
college-age son, who doesn't go anywhere without a cell phone, immediately saw
the utility of SeV's technology-enabled trousers. He drew my attention to the
"NoBulge" layered pockets, which consist of two deep pockets within each side
pocket opening. These make it possible to carry a cell phone, MP3 player, keys,
coins, Kleenex, and other items at the same time without scratching the
electronic devices or covering them with lint. Other features include a Personal
Area Network (PAN) for wiring, magnetic closures, a hidden pen pocket, and
hidden drawstring waist adjustment.
I've been wearing the trousers for about a month now, and
they're extremely comfortable and practical. However, I wouldn't carry my wallet
in them while traveling in crowded cities, since I'm right-handed and the
zippered security compartment in the left side pocket is hard for me to use. (For
money and credit cards, I prefer the hidden
security pockets of my Ex Officio and REI travel shirts or the zippered inside pockets of the SeV vest.)
Note: SCOTTEVEST recently introduced a companion product, SeV
Hidden Cargo Shorts, which offer the same features in a shorter length.
