Oooh, now this is interesting.  A triangular piece of solid circuit board
is probably not a good thing (corners being a nasty accident just waiting
to happen), but mounting a hexagonal board at the centre of a triangular
piece of cloth might do the trick...

Interesting thoughts on the thorax region.  It seems like an awkward place
to put actual circuitry (my preference being more under the arm, holster
style), but it would make a convenient place to route cables to and mount
connectors at.  For washable computing, where the connectors are
press-fasteners, I can't think of a better place to "press" them on. :-)
