Socks will be made from a mix of cotton, recycled polyester and carbonized coffee, which will filter and absorb sweat and odor to keep feet cool. After a long day, traditional dress socks are not always very gentle to the feet, what with all the heat and sweat they keep in. But this new technology can provide new levels of comfort that were not previously possible. Carbonized coffee is a weapon against odor, attracting molecules (composed mostly of carbon) with its spongy...

I suggest using a new tactic to encourage people to shop by using QR coded clothes and automated dressing rooms. The store will contain multiple styles of clothes, but only one item in each style will actually be on display. The items will be hung on racks so customers can check the brands and styling, and will each be tagged with a QR code. When the customer scans the code with the store's app, they will be directed to a dressing room where the item in their size will be delivered...

The jacket will be basically a wearable bag, carrying your gear and clothing and leaving your hands free. The jacket will be a lightweight vest with twelve pockets hidden in the lining and two zip pockets on the outside. The jacket will hold up to 11 pounds of clothes, including a pair of jeans, a sweater, and four t-shirts, and will be made of durable ripstop Nylon and polyester with a microfleece- lined collar.

A new method of manufacturing blue jeans is making them greener while saving energy and materials. The advanced denim process will reduce the amount of water necessary to make a pair of jeans by up to 92 percent while also generating 87 percent less cotton waste, and producing less greenhouse gasses and waste-water. The process will use a single dyeing vat and replace conventional indigo dyes with eco-advanced liquid sulfur dyes that will require only one sugar-based reducing...

I wish there was a chef jacket with nano-fabric. It would be water resistant, stain resistant, anti-microbial and moisturize release & breathable. Nanotechnology is a technology based on the manipulation of individual atoms and molecules to build structures to complex, atomic specifications. These proprietary technologies would alter fabrics at the molecular level, creating advanced performance and durability through the life of the fabric.

A new coating for fabric will be able to use sunlight to self clean, removing stains and dirt. The coating will contain a combination of titanium dioxide and nitrogen. Silver iodide nanoparticles added to the coating will improve the fabric's sensitivity to light. Exposing the treated fabric to sunlight will break down the dirt and kills microbes. The coating will retain its efficiency, even after repeated washings. Current light-activated self-cleaning coatings differ from...

Aspiring musicians can now create loops on the move with the Electronic Drum Machine shirt, which comes with several drum sounds and an amplifier. The shirt includes an adjustable volume amp that attaches to the use's belt. Drummers can choose from nine different drum kits, and the beats can be recorded as loops up the three minutes long. The amplifier and drum pads are removable for laundry day.

The search for the perfect pair of jeans will get easier with the launch of this idea. Why not mail custom made jeans directly to person's door. Customers will first visit an office where they will be scanned in the company's pre-existing 3D scanners. The data will then be analyzed by custom software, allowing customers to choose from varying styles of wash, rise, or fit. The jeans will be manufactured at a central facility and mailed to the client. The system is supposed to...

Why not create a new fabric able to release active substances over time, delivering medicines through the skin of the wearer? The fabric will include a 'donor layer' which will coat each fiber. The wearer's own body warmth, perspiration, and vibration will cause the fabric to release its medicine at a controllable rate. The fabric will be washed in any conventional washing machine and then re-supplied with medicine.
