Does Wearing This Make Me Geek With Money?
http://www.scottevest.com/htmlemail/feb2003/leatherpics.html
Okay, you may be familiar with how much I really like my SCOTTeVest and you may have even read my review of the vest. If you've ever wanted to see for yourself just how versatile this garment is, here's your chance to do it in style. Now, you can pre-order your Limited Edition Leather SCOTTeVest...for only $300.
This latest version of the multi-pocketed, multi-purpose vest/jacket has all of the features of its fabric cousins:
� 25+ hidden ergonomically designed pockets for all your stuff
� Soft silk like material interior
� Zip off sleeves
� Earbud/Headphone Pockets
� Removable, Expandable Coil Key Holder
� And a whole lot more...
If you want to step out in style with this carry-all, though, you'll have to wait a few months. You can pre-order today, but shipment isn't expected until September, 2003.
You can make fun of me all you want, but I recently found out just HOW useful my SCOTTeVest can be While at the Microsoft MVP Summit last week, I was able to carry all this stuff for five solid days without the need for a shoulder bag or case:
� Four Pocket PCs
� Two hands-free earbuds
� Two wireless phones
� CF WiFi card
� Several CF memory cards
� Wallet
� ...and a few personal items
And, believe it or not, neither the eVest nor I looked all bogged down; the SCOTTeVest really stores all this gear in style. So, you can go ahead and call me a Geek and make jokes, but I'll take the SCOTTeVest over Ed's Dockers Mobile Pants any day of the week!

Heck, I think the Evest is pretty nice looking with sleeves. It's only in it's "vest" form I'm quite iffy about it. This special design is great, but ouch. No way I can drop $300 for one.
I can't imagine why anyone would call This geeky, but This or This... yeah. I don't think I could wear that in public.

Ya know, I'm curious. This "call me a geek and make jokes" thing usually comes up when you talk about the eVest... but I don't believe I've ever seen anyone do so? So, is this really happening in real life or something? Because, well, I'd like to know if it really looks like the photos or people really think it's that bad. Or is this all a preemptive strike like "No whining!"?

Geek.....ha ha ha :lol:
just kidding. I think its great that fashion is taking a turn for convinience when it comes to technology. If I had a Mac (or maybe just a firewire port) I might be thinking of droping 500 muhlas for the Burton iPod jacket...although I dont ski :?
Have fun with your leather vest when it starts shipping
I'll be looking for a review :lol:

Geek...and...
"Two weasels are sitting on a bar stool. One starts to insult the other one. He screams, 'I slept with your mother!'
"The bar gets quiet as everyone listens to see what the other weasel will do.
"The first again yells, 'I SLEPT WITH YOUR MOTHER!'
"The other says: 'Go home dad, you're drunk."'

Seriously, I like this eVest a lot better than the original one (which I think looks like a fishermans vest). I'm glad to see some of this technology clothing trying to imitate regular fashion rather than going on the "they're geeks anyway so they won't care" philosophy. I know I've replaced all my dockers with mobile pants!
That said, you're still a geek, but a geek undercover (which is the coolest of the geeks!)

I doubt a wallet makes a guy geeky. :-)
I'm more curious why someone needs four Pocket PCs, two mobile phones and two hands-free earbuds. How many hands, mouths and ears does Brad have? :lol:
