how many times have we seen a perfectly
good shirt ruined by coffee soda or
maybe some red wine or especially in the
morning when the baby gets something or
everything on you instead of in their
mouth and hey it's Florida we also get
very sweaty having some time since the
stains they're so hard to get out you're
just like I'm never wearing this again
well two guys who just graduated from
UCF came up with an idea that's making
those sweaty and messy situations a
thing of the past
Karolina Cardona is here with more on
this we can't wait to hear more about it
that's right this is something pretty
cool you guys it's a sweat proof dress
shirt made with special fabric that
basically stays clean and dry after
taking a spill and the coolest part it
also stays dry and it hides a lot of
that sweat from the shirt a good idea
especially for people who struggle with
excessive sweat for instance if you're
on your way to go at work it's a hot day
outside and you have to walk a few
blocks while this breakthrough invention
could be the answer to avoid those
uncomfortable moments of arriving with a
drenched shirt it was an idea that
became a dream and now it's a reality
for david Schwartzberg a New York native
while attending UCF he came up with his
own invention thought of it during
basketball season in high school you
know coming from New York I wasn't used
to the heat
and I'd had to go to class to class
wearing a dress shirt and arriving with
a sweaty shirt to class just wasn't the
best way to start his day but all these
inventions out there I thought you know
why can't there be a sweat proof dress
shirt while in his dorm room it came to
him and soon after got to work on a
sweat proof button-down shirt the
biggest part of our shirt is our patent
pending patch so we are the first
company in the United States actually in
the world to have a double side fabric
so the inside fabric is different than
the outside the inside fabric is
moisture wicking a material that keeps
you dry david says it dries two times
faster than the average cotton fabric
shirt so how do they keep it from
staining we treat the outside with a
hydrophobic solution to repel all water
oil and protein based liquids we tested
one of the shirts this is a soda
water try-try this side
those are the lights right off it's just
always been something that he had in the
back of his head that he wanted to do
his business partner and friend from
college remembers when two years ago
David told him he wanted to be his own
boss after a summer internship he was
doing door-to-door selling outside
wearing this exact kind of outfit he
said it was miserable now they're part
of the next generation of entrepreneurs
that are aiming to work with the
hospitality industry where we can
provide uniforms because I mean who
wouldn't want their their servers going
around with a sweat proof same proof
dress shirt at a fancy restaurant and
while they pursue that goal they're
setting an example for others to follow
their dreams
don't let the negativity get to you
always be optimistic about it and
definitely where there's a will there's
a way and perseverance is key for
success from now until Tuesday they are
live on Kickstarter their goal is to
raise thirty-five thousand dollars they
still have 10,000 left to reach that
goal
they say they aren't confident that they
will right now they are offering a
discount of thirty five to fifty percent
off the shirt is available in aqua a
light purple and also white once they
have the money they need they will be
ready to start production one of those I
would like them to make it just a little
bit longer and then I can belt it and
call it a night yeah well actually
they'd have not forgotten about us
because they do intend to in the future
bring out a line for us women so how
cool is that it's an awesome product
line the baby clothes everything oh my
goodness I can just the the the options
are endless really and I love how they
use its hydrophobic it just repels water
yeah it just flies right off and I tried
several times to make that soda stick
and it was just not stick yeah you were
determined you know what this is
actually a neat idea too for hey guys if
you're ever in an argument with your
significant other and she has a drink in
her hand well you don't have to worry
about now getting that shirt ruined I
think if that's happening in your life
you have bigger problems than your
[Laughter]
