American startup Hercleon has introduced an innovative t-shirt called the HercShirt V5.0, which, according to its creators, can stay fresh for up to 30 days without a single wash.
According to the developers, this effect is achieved through seven "odor-fighting elements" woven directly into the fabric's structure:
Copper and silver play the main role. They possess powerful antimicrobial properties and destroy bacteria that feed on sweat and release metabolic waste products that create unpleasant odors.

Porous minerals in the material's composition act as an absorbent (similar to cat litter), soaking up foreign smells.
Zinc neutralizes sulfur compounds (stress sweat), while two more secret elements fight ammonia and hormonal odors.
The invention was created by Cameroon-born Wenceslaus Muenyi. The idea came to him while traveling, when his clothes inevitably started smelling bad after just a couple of days.
The startup offers t-shirts in three levels of odor protection:
Budget — designed for 3 days of wear.
Standard — stays fresh for up to two weeks.
Max — the flagship version, allowing the wearer to keep and wear the item without washing for a whole month.
This convenience is not cheap: a single Max version t-shirt will cost buyers $79.
The creators honestly warn: the t-shirt protects specifically against sweat odor, but it is not self-cleaning. If you spill coffee on it or get food stains on it, the spots won't go anywhere, and basic personal hygiene rules still apply.
