A new company called Vardama has created a fabric that repels all spills. Red wine, coffee any liquid will roll right off the fabric.
Equa-tek, as the fabric is called, involves attaching nano fibers to raw cotton before it is spun into yarn and it ends up feeling almost as soft as regular cotton. Unlike Teflon and scotch guard the liquid repellents are woven into the material rather then applied.
Currently the line consists of shirts, ties and suits but there is no reason this technology cannot be incorporated into all kinds of clothing, especially childrenswear.
The shirts are $125-135, ties $85 and suits $695 for a basic navy to $1,800 for a tux.
The shirts can be machine washed or dry cleaned.
Look for an expansion into womenswear, workwear and more in the near future.
