If there's one article of clothing that has defined the slacker-cum-dot com billionare over the last decade, it's the hoodie.
Couple that with a pair of earbuds you have what could arguably be the definitive portrait of the modern techie. Go to any coffee shop with free WiFi and check out the wardrobe choices of the huddled masses hunched over their laptops and you'll see what I mean.

Know what else you'll see? Hoodie drawstrings, unused and untied, dangling away as nothing more than accessories.
Naturally, HB3Labs has come up with way to put a little funtion into those do-nothing drawstrings with a line of garments that may be the Voltron of all techie threads: The Hoodiebuddie. It's a line of upper body wear that integrates earbud cords into the end of hoodie drawstrings, with a headphone jack in the front pocket.

The Hoodiebuddie lineup includes limited editions by California street artists, such as Skinner, Hannah Stouffer and Cat Cult. The hoodies are machine washable in cold water and come in a variety of colors and sizes for men and women. Also available are flannel hoodies and earbud equipped T-shirts without a hood.
