Kickstarter dress shirt can be worn for 100 days without washing

This is 50% how you iron the shirt and 50% the shirt itself. Depending on the materials the shirt is made with, shrinkage of the thread and cloth fibers as a result of the first wash will remove any chances you have of making the shirt look like new. If you're lucky and get a shirt that washes well, everything else has to do with how you iron it. Typically, steam on the appropriate temperature setting will make the shirt look like new. You just have to watch how you go about refining creases and keep appropriate tension on the fabric. Some people like to use starch during the ironing process, but it causes the fabric to look unnaturally stiff.

Thank you! Too much of a science to my mind. I can calculate primes from 1 to 101 under a minute in my head, but the finesse of cloth ironing will delude me forever. Easier to get your wife do it for you or just buy a new shirt.

Women like that still exist? My last girlfriend dumped me a few weeks after I made a joke about her doing laundry -- a JOKE!!! ...I envy you, sir!

Wives do laundry, girlfriends don't Don't envy me, I buy new shirts instead.

Delude? Surely you mean elude. Then again, maybe not. Who the hell would want to wear a shirt for 100 days anyway?

Apparently, Mac Bishop does.

Apart from him. Kinda reminds me of my days in grade 8. In fact I enjoyed grade 8 so much I spent 7 years there.

Sorry... I would not feel comfortable on wearing a shirt 100 days with out a wash. I wash underwear, pants, socks... Why not wash the shirt? Oh god. Wearing a 100 day unwashed shirt on a date or at work? Uh-uh. Is this for the slightly moneyed homeless? No thanks. I like my Tide smell.

I wash underwear, pants, socks... Why not wash the shirt?

I think the idea was to try one item first. those other items are next. O.O

Because it's baffling at some point

I am actually more concerned that a marketing grad knows so much about developing his own fabric...

Cool, now the homeless can smell better and look better... >.>

Not possible!!

1. The shirt will probably have a premium price.
2. If the shirt is still in good condition, it wouldn't be offered as an option.
3. It would take more than a shirt to make those conditions possible.

Awesome. Too bad that is pretty unsanitary to think of.

Extremely, in fact.

Really man you are being a germophobe here to the extreme.

Sounds to me like the typical "first world problem" type of person who has been indoctrinated with BS about germs and crap everywhere thats just waiting to pounce on you and kill you.

Here enjoy reading about the millions of germs and bacteria that live on you right now: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_skin#Hygiene_and_skin_care

Also the ad does NOT say that the user wont need to wash for 100 days, it just uses the natural water resistant properties of wool which means the surface of the wool fibers are almost always dry unless submerged in liquid. So as almost all bacteria/germs require moisture to survive this makes the shirt very resistant to that kind of problem.

Wearing a shirt for 100 days without washing it is 100% disgusting. If you dont think that, I dont know what to tell you.
