In Fashion, You’re Either In Or You’re Fighting Coughs And Sneezes

(Note to self a day later: When writing blog entries, remember to actually publish them, not just save them as drafts. Sorry, all.)

As a headache continues to ravage my head and various people suggest flu or house mould as possibilities for the fact that this headcold hasn’t shifted in weeks despite a useful amount of Theraflu, cold pills and Halls, the internet reminded me just how I could’ve avoided all of this… in style:

The suit is coated with the chemical titanium dioxide, which reacts to light to break down and kill the virus when it comes into contact with it, according to Junko Hirohata. The chemical is a common ingredient in toothpaste and cosmetics.

The suit – which is indistinguishable from any other worn by Japan’s legion of “salarymen” – comes in four colours and styles, which are medium grey, charcoal, navy and a grey pinstripe. It will go on sale for about £365.

Yes, it’s a flu-resistant business suit. There are times where I love science.

That toothpaste suit looks like it’s “made out of floss,” if you know what I mean…

And how is this supposed to protect you from ‘flu when there’s no protection for the fizzog?

Graeme: checked your gas appliances lately?
