For those of you who are too elegant to have an MP3 player sticking out of your pocket or poking from your bag during your daily commute, luxury shirt maker Thomas Pink may have the answer.

The shirt maker has unveiled its Commuter Tie that features a pocket in the back to store an iPod Nano.

"Technology has transformed the modern commute but it has also created a dilemma - how best to store gadgets safely and stylishly on the go?" the company said.

Thomas Pink said the design, featuring a small pocket on the reverse of the tie where the Nano can be stored, avoids wearers having gadgets on display "or damaging the line of one's suit".

An extra fabric loop keeps wires, including headphone wires, out of sight and close to the body, "leaving hands free to pick up a daily coffee or answer that all-important call," the shirt maker said.

The tie is priced at £55.
