SMOOTH MOVE: CLOTHIER CREATES WRINKLE-REMOVING SHIRT
NEW YORK (Wireless Flash) Heres a hot gift for the person who hates to iron: A shirt that automatically unwrinkles itself. The Italian-made Oricalco shirt is made with a lightweight titanium alloy that straightens out when you blow it with a hair dryer. The only catch: The wrinkle-busting shirt sells for a whopping $4000. However, that didnt stop Popular Mechanics from picking the metal shirt as one of the best new products of 2001. Other products making the magazines Best of Whats New list include... A 4.5 pound U.S. military spy plane called the Dragon Eye that soldiers can carry in a backpack and can be launched by hand. Edible plastic wrap made by the USDA, including a peach-flavored film that, when heated, turns into a tasty glaze for ham. And the U.S. Armys SmarTruck which sports James Bond-style gadgets like electrified door handles, pepper spray jets and blinding headlights.
