CES (Consumer Electronic Show), the currently running MUST BE THERE event of the year for the technologists and techno community might not be a place you would expect to see a clothing company.

But both happens right now. And the clothing company that combines both and on top of it get coverage on our blog is ScotteVest, the company that created the by now legendary range of Technology Enabled clothing.

ScotteVest’s founder Scott Jordan is presenting his line of clothing during the CES in Las Vegas.
