Fingers-On with the MP3 Lederhosen and Hunting Jacket

Consider the Bavarian hunting jacket with built-in MP3 controls. Consider it, and then wonder why you'd want to listen to oompah music while you blast away at anything in feathers, fur &mdash or if you're Dick Cheney, anyone who's standing too close to you. To drown out the screams, I suppose. There is also a pair of matching lederhosen as well, which we already covered earlier this year.

I know, I know. Back then I was stupid enough to think that the buttons controlled your cell phone and not your MP3 player. Why would you want a cell phone attached to your hunting pants, I thought? "Er, Hank? I just shot Buddy. He's on the floor and I don't think he's breathing. Can we get some damage limitation in asap, please?"). I blame an error on the picture caption, myself, but feel free to blame me if you want.

But when you start thigh slapping you'll interfere with the controls?

@Namster: So, it has a built-in Sony battery, right?

Those lederhosen have the "Play" und "Stop" buttons in the wrong place.

Personally.... I would NEVER be listening to an iPod while hunting.... just to avoid accidentally being shot by my hunting partner Dick C.....
Plus, you need to concentrate on the hunt.... don't you?!?!

I'd imagine that it's hard to hear deer or other prey while rocking out to those early Britney tunes.

Addy, you can play with my lederhosen any old ti--oh, who am I kidding, I don't even own lederhosen. I'm so sad.

German company Lodenfrey have displayed a pair of high-tech lederhosen with built-in iPod controls for when you want to rock out during your ambulatory yodel-wanders. Link (Thanks, Marilyn!)
