Japan shirt maker launches ‘air-conditioned clothes’ to beat summer heat

Self-cooling clothes may seem like the stuff of science fiction, but one Japanese company has created such a product by incorporating fans into the fabric of its items.

Shirts and jackets made by Kuchou-fuku - literally “air-conditioned clothes” - keep the wearer comfortable even in sweltering heat.
Japanese workers can keep cool in these air-conditioned shirts thanks to fans in the fabric
The fans blow hot air across the skin keeping the wearer cool even in the hottest of conditions
And they are also environmentally friendly as they use just one-fiftieth of the energy of a small air conditioner unit.

“Until now, air-conditioning implied cooling the entire room. Now, we can cool just the body,” said Hiroshi Ichigaya, Kuchou-fuku’s CEO. Two small fans sewn into the back of each garment and powered by a pocket-sized rechargeable battery pack circulate air across the wearer’s skin, evaporating perspiration and keeping temperatures down - a welcome respite from Japan’s mid-summer humidity and record-breaking heat in recent days.
The self-cooling clothes come in 10 styles and a variety of colours, all priced at 11,000 yen ($96) and sold on the internet and at limited retailers.

The company has sold about 5,500 of the garments since they went on sale three years ago, mostly to factory workers.

But however cool the clothes are, they seem unlikely to catch on any time soon.

Because the fans puff out the garments with air, they give wearers a deceptively portly look.

“My daughter won’t wear them because the shape is no good,” Ichigaya admitted.
