The shirt that will make you hate laundry less

Laundry is a never ending cycle. It is a monster that keeps growing, and no matter how many loads you have done you're still rarely, if ever, caught up. So, how about a shirt that you don't have to wash? The "better button down" shirt by clothing company Wool & Prince only needs washing every 100 wears. That makes many people happy, from lazy sloths to hippies to busy parents.

The shirt is made out of a special wool blend. According to Yahoo! Shine's article "The Shirt You Don't Have to Wash," wool is six times more durable than cotton, is wrinkle resistant, and it absorbs sweat so it doesn't sit on the skin developing a must. Still, the company says the shirts, which retail at $98, are light and breathable because a fine wool thread is used.


This shirt is a great idea. It breaks the laundry cycle, unless you are a messy baby and spill something on the shirt. That cheese stain will not magically disappear no matter how many days you wait to wash. Even before this so called "miracle shirt," many people likely tried to go a few too many days before washing a shirt, but now you don't have to feel bad about it and you don't have to wonder if that shirt smells. The inspiration for the shirt came from men, and it seems the shirt is being marketed to men (it is a men's shirt, after all). I could say only time will tell if the idea is a hit, but a check of the company's website tells me the shirt is already sold out. Don't worry, if you join the company's newsletter you can be one of the first many to find out when it is back in stock.
