Afraid of swine flu? Wear this suit

If the new swine flu vaccine(甲流疫苗)doesn't give you the right dose of inner peace, there's another layer of protection at your disposal.It comes from Japan, which means it looks good, too.

The new anti - H1N1 suit doesn't just make you look dapper(衣冠楚楚), it supposedly also helps keep you disease - free.According to the U.K.Telegraph, Japanese menswear company Haruyama Trading has developed a suit that it claims can protect wearers from the H1N1 virus.The suit is coated with titanium dioxide (二氧化钛)—a chemical commonly used in toothpaste and cosmetics—that breaks down when reacting with light and supposedly kills the virus upon contact.Despite the new layer of protection, the suit seems pretty much like other suits commonly worn by Japanese white - collar workers.Each suit costs about $580.The suits go on sale Thursday and in four colors and styles, including medium gray, charcoal, navy, and a gray pinstripe.The company says the suit will retain its protective capability even after being washed multiple times.

Japan, like many other places in Asia, has been gripped by the swine flu since its outbreak a year ago.According to the World Health Organization, more than 340,000 people have been infected with H1N1 worldwide; the disease is responsible for 4, 100 deaths.Generally, most of the new cases were reported to take place in urban areas, where population density increases the risk of transmission.It's unclear if there will be a female version of the suit; it's also unknown when or if the suit will be on sale in the U.S.
