Banks in supermarkets, video screens in airplane seats, peanut butter in chocolate... all great and useful combinations. Now comes the newest, all-in-one solution that keeps you warm as it keeps you plugged in - the Hoodie Buddie!

From innovative creator and manufacturer Jerry Leigh Apparel, the Hoodie Buddie is a patent pending technology that features built-in, machine-washable headphones integrated into the drawstrings of a hoodie. Powered by HB3(TM) technology, everything you need is right in the jacket - from high-quality ear buds on the ends of the drawstrings, to a front pocket with an input jack for your iPod or cell phone.

The Hoodie Buddie is offered through an array of brands and retailers, and it is also available for licensing worldwide. The Paul Frank Hoodie Buddie, made of comfy 95% cotton and 5% spandex, is sold at Karmaloop.com and it is also coming soon to Macy's stores nationwide and online, retailing for approximately $39.99.
