Threadsmiths – The Cavalier Dress Shirt

Threadsmiths is a company based out of Melborne, Australia which has developed a patented hydrophobic nanotechnology application that repels water and dirt. Early last year, we featured an article on their first product, the Cavalier T-Shirt. Since then, they’ve developed an addition to their product line, the Cavalier Dress Shirt, and sent SSD one for review.

The Cavalier Dress Shirt is a premium 100% white cotton dress shirt complete with mother of pearl buttons, and is treated with Threadsmiths patented hydrophobic nanotechnology application. Like the Cavalier T-Shirt, it comes in a fairly slim fit, so ordering a size up is recommended.

Also like the Cavalier t-shirt, the Cavalier Dress Shirt is great at repelling virtually any water-based substances. Seen above, we’ve covered the shirt in water, juice, and soy sauce. As a reminder, the coating does not work well against oil-based liquids.

The amount of fluid we covered the shirt in is extreme, and also required a couple of minutes in a hot shower to completely remove. Considering the amount of colored fluid that was on the shirt, that’s still pretty impressive, especially since a regular white dress shirt would be all but ruined by that point. Typically, an amount of water equivalent to a large bottle is all that is needed to remove a spill.

The benefit of a hydrophobic and stain-resistant white dress shirt speaks for itself, and we’re eager to see what Threadsmiths will be offering next. The Cavalier Dress Shirt is currently available in White, sizes XS-XXXL. Threadsmiths also offers the Cavalier T-Shirt in White, Grey, and Black for men and women.

Threadsmiths – The Cavalier T-Shirt

Threadsmiths is a company based out of Melborne, Australia which has developed a patented hydrophobic nanotechnology application that repels water and dirt. The first product to feature this hydrophobic application is the Cavalier t-shirt.

The Cavalier is a 100% cotton white t-shirt. Given the color, this makes the hydrophobic application a perfect addition. It comes in a slim fit, so ordering a size up is recommended. The Cavalier is fully machine washable, and its water repellency can be reactivated every few washes by tumble drying at normal to low heat. The Cavalier also comes in black.

Here you can see liquids such as water and juice also being repelled by the shirt. The coating is effective against virtually any water-based substances, including maple syrup, chocolate sauce, hot sauce, red wine, and more. It does not work well against oil-based liquids, however.

Seeing the aftermath of the colored liquids, you may feel the shirt has been stained. However, as demonstrated in the video below, application of additional water will quickly remove the ‘set-in’ stains. Typically, an amount equivalent to a large bottle of water is all that is needed.

Threadsmiths has developed an impressive hydrophobic application. We look forward to seeing what future products will also feature these same hydrophobic properties. Plus, having a white t-shirt that you don’t have to worry about staining is a nice bonus.
