The iPod boom (including accessories) arrives everywhere and children are a good target for selling things that are related to it. In London, the company Marks & Spencer has put some school uniforms for sale that are specially designed for the Ipod. It seems that, in the interior part of the jacket, children will have a kind of pocket with a control panel to manage the player.

We have serious doubts that it is a recommended accessory for the back-to-school season, although it is clear that the more tech-savvy students will be asking for it. There are jackets, coats and complete uniforms and they are part of the 2008 Back to School collection. The panel has several pockets and lapels with player controls and it is made of polyester. It also has a protective layer made of recycled materials which are water-resistant. So, the students will be able to sing in the rain with no problems.

But don’t worry teachers! At this time, the uniforms are only in London, although to get them, people only need to browse the online Marks & Spencer store. But we won’t give more hints except that they are available in several sizes for children and teenagers from 10 to 17 years old and the price ranges from 11 to 37 euros.  

Another nightmare for teachers. If the students complement it with the Nokia Supernova, the result could be unpredictable.

The French Army has chosen the Kermel V50 and VMC40 fabrics to equip its soldiers within the framework of the FELIN program (Infantrymen with Integrated Liaison Equipment).

By combining extreme comfort, excellent durability and exceptional fire protection, these two fabrics are great options to improve the quality of camouflage uniforms. And this applies to both summer and winter uniforms. These uniforms have been tested by the French army successfully, and the first troops will be equipped at the end of 2008.

Kermel V50 is the ideal and durable solution for battle dress uniform. The softness of the Kermel fiber and the absorption capacity provide an extreme comfort. These properties, combined with an excellent thermal protection, make this uniform a garment that is perfectly adapted to summer and mid-season conditions.

Kermel VMC40 is the latest innovation in camouflage fabric. It is conceived to be used under humid conditions and cold weather. This material is extremely soft to the touch and very resistant. This new blend combines softness, humidity transfer, and fire resistance perfectly.
