Hasta La Gadget!

Other than lasers and Elon Musk, magnets might be the most superhuman objects we have on this dear Earth of ours. They can make things fly, they can make things stick, they can demolish laptops, they can make you squeal and scream and feel like a kid. Another thing magnets can do? Make clothes. The two dresses above were "grown" using magnets.

Too lazy to wash your shirt after every wear? Then Wool & Prince’s button downs should be perfect for you!

Its makers boast that the shirt can be worn for a hundred days straight without washing it in between. The secret of the shirt lies in the material. It’s made from a unique cotton-soft wool fabric that took Wool & Prince six months to develop, and it looks like their efforts have paid off.

In fact, for care instructions, Wool & Prince says to “let the wool do the work” and only dry clean or gently wash the shirt “when absolutely necessary.”

The 100-day figure was the result of an experiment that the company had 15 wear testers do. Each of them wore the shirt for a hundred days while going about their usual business, from dancing at clubs to backpacking in the Andes. Wool & Prince described them as being “impressed” with the no-odor properties.

Apparently, they’re not the only ones impressed with the shirt. Wool & Prince’s campaign on Kickstarter has raised over $312,000 so far and they’re already sold out of their first batch of no-smell wool shirts.

But no worries – if you’re interested, you can still get on the waitlist. Or you could just use the washing machine.

Geeks travel with a lot of stuff, that is undeniable. You have your smartphone, your tablet, your MP3 player, your camera, your Wi-Fi dongle, comic books, your bottled water, and your smartphone just to name a few. That means when you leave the house, odds are you have to schlep a backpack everywhere, or the pockets of your pants are all puffy, heavy, and saggy. What you need is a better way to carry all of your gear.

ThinkGeek has teamed up with the geek clothing purveyors Scottevest to build a jacket that has a bunch of pockets called the Tropiformer. To quantify the technical term “a bunch of pockets” more precisely, the jacket specifically has 22 pockets. It doesn’t really look like it has 22 pockets from the outside, but it does. Among those plentiful pockets is a big pocket sized specifically for your tablet. It also has a pocket inside the left-hand flap with a clear material over the top so you to operate your smartphone without having to take it out. Handy, indeed.

The jacket comes in four different colors including blue, red, gray, and cement, and is made from a lightweight, water-resistant fabric. The sleeves are held on with magnets so you can rip them off easily during your Hulk fantasies, or if you get too hot. Check out the video below to see more jacket-of-many-pockets action.

You can order the Tropiformer jacket right now for $149.99(USD) over at ThinkGeek.
