Indian clothing companies have introduced a range of smart garment for hard-working executives. The “IQ clothes” are shirts and trousers that emanate perfume, repel mosquitoes, keep you cool and remain spotless even when splashed with coffee.
Bangalore-based company Peter Kin International sells “mosquito repellent” shirts which receive a special wash treatment with a chemical that resists mosquitoes.
The “fragrance shirts” can smell of any any fragrance from fresh lime to strawberry to chocolate.
Madura Garments has launched “Icetouch” – shirts treated with finishing agents to allegedly keep the body five degrees cooler.
They also launched Van Heusen’s “Oxyrich” shirts that release “power-packed oxygen ions”, and promise to make “the wearer more alert and focused”.
U.S. company Arrow sells the “unstainables” clothes. A special technology attaches molecular structures to cotton fibers to create a barrier that causes liquids and stains to bead up on the surface and roll off.
