A clothing company says it’s created a T-shirt you only need to wash once a month, even if you wear it every day.

HercLéon’s new HercShirt V5.0 is made with materials like copper, silver, zinc, gold, and volcanic ash woven directly into the fabric. The company says these materials help fight odor-causing bacteria, absorb moisture, and keep the shirt smelling fresh. It also says there are two secret ingredients in the fabric.

The premium version costs $79 and is advertised to stay odor-free for 30 days. There are also cheaper versions that claim to stay fresh for 3 days or 14 days between washes.

It’s worth noting these are the company’s claims. While some of the materials are known to help reduce bacteria, there isn’t independent research proving the shirt can stay odor-free for a full month of daily wear.
It’s great marketing anyway!
