California inventor Aamir Patel has designed a shirt that will be a lifesaver to klutzes everywhere.
Called the "Silic shirt," the garment repels liquids, meaning that such spills as water, wine, coke, maple syrup, ketchup and mustard won't be sticking to your shirt all day.
The fabric has "billions of particles of silica ... the hydrogen can't bond with the fibers," Patel explained to Yahoo! News.
Among Patel's top goals for the new garment, the inventor wanted to ensure that it wasn't bad for the consumer's health and also that it was "super soft."
The shirt is made with hydrophobic nanotechnology, which repels water similar to raindrops falling off a leaf.
Available in black or white, the "simple but bold" new garment has more than 2,000 backers so far on Kickstarter, where it's selling for $138.
The shirt is "soft and very breathable," according to the Kickstarter page, which says that the wearer's sweat will evaporate into the air instead of absorbing into the shirt.
The new company is partnering with a former designer from the Vera Wang Collection and has a production facility based in Silicon Valley.
Patel hopes to start an official website soon and seems to be on his way with $144,837 pledged so far.
In designing the garment, Patel wanted it to be comfortable and durable as well as water-repellent. The garment is fully machine and hand washable and will keep its hydrophobic properties for at least 80 washes.
"It's a shirt that's going to last a very long time," Patel said. "It's not going to crinkle up on the edges, around the collar. We were very particular about how we went about constructing the product."
