Australian Wool Innovation Ltd. designers say they've created a suit that won't take you to the cleaners.
The merino men's suit has been specially designed to be taken into the shower, lathered up and soaked clean.
"Put [it] on a hanger as normal and then go to the shower. Set the shower around 40 degrees centigrade," Jimmy Jackson, the group's product development manager, told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.
"You douse the [suit with] soap [and] water for about three or four minutes; you hang it up then to dry.
Jackson said the suit, which is expected to be available next year, dries within two hours.
