Wool&Prince Self-cleaning Shirt: Cool Pick of the Week

A shirt that doesn’t have to be washed for 3 months?  Probably sounds unappealing to most of us, but not to the American design firm, Wool&Prince who have created and released for testing, a self-cleaning wool shirt.  The Wool&Prince Self-cleaning Shirt is currently being tested for smelliness and endurance with high-levels of activity and anxiety….basically, a long-running sweat test!

According to Wool&Prince, the shirt will not have to be washed for months, ironed at all because the fabric is naturally resistant to wrinkles, and it will still NOT SMELL!  The Wool&Prince Self-cleaning Shirt retail price has yet to be announced, but the price for testers and project funders was approximately 63 pounds.

 

Fun facts about WOOL: 

- Wool fibers can be bent and stretched 20,000 times without breaking (For perspective: cotton can only be bent/stretched 3,200 times.)

- Wool is much more efficient than other fabrics at absorbing sweat and as a result, does not accumulate odor.  This happens because the sweat actually evaporates into thin air before bacteria can develop on the surface.
