Almost every day something new and geeky finds its way to an Etsy store and often it’s difficult to keep up with all new awesome items on Etsy – or we think they’re cool but just not cool enough. This time though, user SceeneShoes caught my attention with a serious of handmade bras aimed at [...]

ClothesHacking: T-Shirt Displays New E-Mail Messages
Posted on April 2, 2010 Written by 3 Comments
Oh, the things people do to be different. Take this guy, for example. He went ahead and created one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen, and I highly doubt that anyone anywhere will ever own one of these shirts other than him. Why? Probably because it’s not machine washable, but things with a chipset [...]
WTFJeans – Geek Friendly Clothing
Posted on March 16, 2010 Written by 3 Comments
At my last job, one of the IT guys used to wear these jeans with rhinestones and patterns imprinted on them. We joked a lot about his “bedazzled” jeans and his preference to wear sandals with everything, so seeing the picture above made me think of him. That, and debate whether or not this is [...]
For the PA love of your life: the AV tee
Posted on February 8, 2010 Written by Leave a Comment
If your significant other is a PA or home audio/cinema nut, then you could do worse than buy them this audio-visual tee-shirt from Threadless. On the back of the shirt we have all the standard connectors you could want, from the (nearly) bygone SCART and S-VIDEO through to HDMI and digital inputs/outputs. On the front, [...]
Drum Kit tee: be careful what you press
Posted on December 21, 2009 Written by Leave a Comment
You’ve seen clothing with iPod controls built-in, right? This tee shirt takes the concept a little further. Attached to the front is a drum kit printed on a touch-sensitive pad, and when you press various parts of it, an appropriate sound is played. There’s an embedded speaker (as you’d expect) and it’s all driven from [...]
Get Pac-Man and Tetris on your tee

At first I wondered why these two pieces of clothing had to be conceptual, but I guess if you actually wanted to sell them legitimately you’d need the permission of Namco/Midway and Alexey Pajitnov.

What are you going to go to your next fancy dress party as? Historical or film characters are obvious choices. Game characters are the de facto standard for a budding geek, but actual toys surely take things a step further.
Half-functional keyboard pants for typing on the go
Posted on May 13, 2009 Written by 5 Comments
Firstly let me say that, as a Brit, the first mental image I had upon reading about “keyboard pants” wasn’t the best, but once I saw a picture it all became clear. That still doesn’t mean I fully understand why anyone would want a QWERTY keyboard – a pink, flexible, half-functional silicone keyboard – split [...]
"At" Cufflinks: hope your shirt doesn't get spam on it
Posted on April 21, 2009 Written by Leave a Comment
Found these while surfing around eBay today. I wear cufflinks about once a year, if that (and I already have a nice blue marble-effect pair) but if I wanted to wear something that, literally, symbolizes email and Twitter, I could do worse than this pair of @ links.
