Carry-All Coats

The New ScotteVest Coat is Designed to Replace Carry-On Luggage

— July 7, 2010 — Fashion
The newest ScotteVest coat is a pretty inventive piece of outdoor clothing. The idea behind the ScotteVest coat is that it is supposed to be able to replace traditional carry-on luggage by having areas in the coat to hold all your carry on needs.

The ScotteVest is able to hold an iPad, iPhone and iTouch (I'm not sure why you would need all three iDevices), shoes, shirts and ties and even water bottles and a tilly bag. The ScotteVest is pretty jam-packed with usable pocket space. The ScotteVest is also pretty ideal for those frequent flyers who had carry-on luggage.
