It's a short article describing the strange materials people are experimenting with to make clothing. There is mushrooms, pineapple, PVC, and others. It's light on details (maybe there are other better articles with more technical information), but I thought it was interesting and worth sharing and discussing.

    Far better to sell seven T-shirts, than one that may well last longer than all seven cotton shirts.

    Even cotton T-shirts outlast the logos printed on them. Lasting 7 times as long won't extend the usable lifetime (of the printed on advertising.) We'll need to research better T-shirt printing techniques first, and maybe slower growing kids.
