Wipe Shirt for those who need cleaner glasses

by Gareth Mankoo

I hate my glasses getting stained with all those annoying fingerprints and water droplets. So I often go on to take my glasses off and wipe them carefully to the hem of my shirt. But alas, being synthetic only smudges the marks and makes the streetlights look like twinkling stars. Thankfully, the Wipe Shirt comes in as a hopeful medium to clean my spectacles without getting my shirt or eyes harmed. The shirt has a microfiber cloth for cleaning glasses or cellphone screens that often get stained.

The Wipe Shirt is the idea of designer duo, Katsunari and Ami Igarashi. It costs 13,650 yen ($151).
