Blazers that Can Hold an iphone

Lauren Ingram wrote a short article in the 3/25 /26 WSJ, At Last, a Cure for iPhone Bulge: Smarter Tailoring. The article features 2 blazers with pockets that will hold iphones. The first jacket featured is:

“The Argent Double-Breasted blazer ($328, argentwork.com ) has a zipped compartment on the inside for stashing a phone. This pocket is placed low on the garment to minimize the risk that the device’s weight will compromise the way the blazer hangs. A semitransparent touch-screen-friendly mesh lets you quickly see who’s calling and swipe away notifications, while a small slit just above provides a handy route for your headphone cable.”

“Traditional tailoring techniques can ensure equally effective camouflage. The exterior pockets of Rag & Bone’s Howson Blazer ($650, rag-bone.com ) are pleated to give them more volume—so nobody will notice the iPhone or small tablet you’ve slipped inside. The bold, British-inspired striped pattern further blinds the eye to the tech inside. You also get an interior breast pocket that’s positioned a few inches higher than usual (not shown) so any phone bulge will be masked by the jacket’s more generous cut up top.”

“You can even see these smarts in fast fashion brands. Uniqlo’s lightweight-down quilted bomber jacket ($70, uniqlo.com ) is equipped with two interior pockets large enough to accommodate an iPad Mini. To prevent the hard edges of the tablet from showing through, the borders of these tech-friendly pockets sit right along the jacket’s zipper and lower hem, smartly masking two edges of the tablet.”
