The music player will go in a hidden pocket. For passengers who are directed to work with boring and filled his pockets, a shirt design company offers the perfect solution to keep them entertained along the way: a tie with a hidden pocket to store the iPod.

Thomas Pink, the British brand of shirts, is launching the "Commuter Tie" in its main collection for autumn-winter 2009/2010.

The necktie, silk, has a small pocket on the back designed to hold an iPod nano or mp3 player.

"The music player is placed in the pocket to avoid exposure of your valuable online devices or damage the suit," the company said in a statement.

An additional cloth tape keeps cables, including headphones, out of sight and close to the body.
