Thomas Pink are certainly decent shirtmakers. The shirts aren’t insanely expensive, and they can stand a rigorous cold wash at 3 am with shaking hands, covered in blood. What? Anyway, Thomas Pink have updated their iPod Commuter Tie, which I have to say is a pretty surefire way to look like a wanker or an estate agent on the train to work. I can understand the rationale behind it – suits have had “phone pockets” for a while, to minimise ruining the line of the suit with a great big brick coming out of your side. Read more after the jump.
Its described as “a sophisticated 100% silk woven tie and useful mp3 storage device in one”. Oh please. The minute “in one” is added to any sentence, it instantly neutralises anything interesting or meritous said before. Cilit Bang is a window cleaner, descaler and multi surface cleaner in one. Don’t see me writing about that. I mean I will right now, when I say that it’s a great cleaning product. Bang! And the dirt is gone.
The Commuter tie is available in eight colours – gray, charcoal, purple, blue, green, orange, red and deep pink – and will be available from Thomas Pink stores from September 2009 or online at www.thomaspink.com, priced at $100. But can I please ask that if you buy one, which you are of course free to do, don’t wear it.
