A former Chicago lawyer who sells clothing that makes airport travel easier sees opportunity in the new iPad.

Scott Jordan proclaims on his website that his company sells the first and only clothing line with a pocket for the iPad. The website was also quick to note a Sunday article in the New York Times that reported on Jordan’s travel fashion savvy.

The Times told of Jordan’s 22-pocket Scottevest that holds an iPod, cell phone, glasses, wallet and other items. In the fall, Jordan plans to add a trench coat to his line that can hold a change of clothes and a laptop in its pockets. It also converts to a messenger bag that can be carried and stored on the plane.

Jordan came up with the idea for his travel vest when commuting between his Chicago home and a job in New Jersey, according to a 2003 article in American Way magazine.
