9.http://www.dogonews.com/2013/5/3/hate-doing-laundry-you-are-going-to-love-this-shirtThough doing washing is relatively effortless,most people hate the work,which is probably why this new shirt produced by an American company,called Wool & Prince,is producing so much interest.
According to Mac Brown,the shirt's creator,the seemingly ordinary shirt can be worn for 100 straight days without washing!Of course,any shirt can be worn for that long,if smell is not a problem.However,the Wool & Prince shirt is different because it remains as fresh smelling as it was-the first day it was put on.And it never needs ironing,because it never wrinkles.
While that may sound magical and even impossible,it is true.The secret to their success lies in the raw material used to make the shirt-wool instead of cotton.
Not only are wool fibers about four times stronger than cotton,but thanks to the natural crimp(皱褶),they also do not wrinkle as easily.But most importantly,the fiber is better at allowing moisture to escape.Sweat in itself is not smelly.It just gets that way when in contact with the human skin.Therefore,the fact that the fabric allows it to go off gives the shirt the"super power"to stay fresh after so many wears.
You can get this magical shirt for $98,which is the current selling price on fund-raising site Kickstarter.The company hopes to use the funds collected to begin producing the shirts.If things go well,Wool & Prince is planning to introduce other clothing,including similar dresses for women.
Well,you've got your favorite pair of jeans already.You might as well add your new favorite shirts you'll never have to wash or hang up either.They are surely a perfect match!
