What the most-funded suit in Kickstarter history, the X-Suit, will look, feel and smell like
The designer behind a new concept in menswear explains why he thinks of its creation like a tech product versus a traditional fashion item.
He might have looked pretty sharp if you’d run into him at the Mint nightclub in Shanghai a few years ago, but Max Perez’s wardrobe hid an unkempt little secret.
“I was doing creative direction for the club, and I had to wear a suit all the time but I was also getting them dirty all the time. They were smelly,” he says. “I found it so uncomfortable.”
In other words, Perez was like a lot of guys who need to make a tough choice between being presentable and not finding themselves running up huge dry-cleaning bills and worrying about wrinkles every time they get on the plane. That, essentially, was the catalyst for the X-Suit, which he and his two partners describe as a “zero-maintenance” garment that will repel water and wine, stretch in four different ways and neutralize oudours, among other superpowers.

"The X Suit’s durable material also makes the suit easier to care for, and easier to manage while travelling. It can be rolled and folded into any bag, or worn for days without smelling or wrinkling. There is no downside to “the suit of the future.”"
"Spilt a glass of red? Don’t sweat it, it’s waterproof. Dropped food on yourself? Don’t sweat it, it’ll wash right off under a tap. Sweating it? Don’t sweat it, it’s impervious to odours. Sound too good to be true?"
That’s why the X Suit is pretty genius. It claims to be the world’s first full stretch suit. It’s extra comfortable and durable enough for every day use (rocking climbing in a suit, anyone?), while also being liquid and stain repellent, wrinkle resistant, and odor proof.
In a way, it’s a suit that gives you super powers… you can do all the things you’d normally never do in a suit.
"It's also wrinkle-proof, so you can ball it up in a suitcase. It has an odor-proof lining, so it won't get all stanky if you wear it 5 days in a row. It's so stain-resistant that you can pour red wine on it, and it beads right off.
And if that's still not DUDE enough for you, there's also a "sport" version with a detachable hoodie."
"For the wedding in the middle of a surprise rain storm comes the X Suit; an innovative suit that can withstand anything in its path."
