New Apparel for the iPod

Long Beach, Calif.–based Malachi and Company Inc. has released the second generation of its SyncWear MP3-compatible fitness shirts for men and women.

The company debuted the shirt before Christmas and sold out of the men’s model and came close with women’s styles. Now it has a new version with more pockets and a new name in SyncWear. It was previously called PodWear.

The short-sleeve fitness shirt features a dual-layer three-in-one side pocket to hold devices such as the iPod Nano. The shirt also has a cord-management system with two fabric loops along the side and shoulder area of the shirt. It also has a large outer pocket to stow loose cords.

The shirts are made with moisture-wicking polyester and retails for $33.99. Company principal James Lundberg said he is exploring wholesale opportunities. For more information, visit www.malachiandcompany.com. —Robert McAllister
