# Stretchy Stain-Repelling Suits The X Suit is Wrinkle-Resistant, Odor-Resistant and Comfortable By Mary Van Puymbroeck | Published 2017-07-17 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stainrepelling-suit References: [kickstarter](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1419588848/the-x-suit-the-suit-of-the-future?ref=nav_search) & [xsuit](http://www.xsuit.com/) The 'X Suit' is a stain-repelling suit infused with nano molecules that make it liquid-, odor- and wrinkle-resistant. The X Suit has an anti-microbial lining that lets the wearer stretch and move without having to worry about [emitting odor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wellen-patinatech-tshirt). This stain-repelling suit is so good at what it does that a whole glass of red wine can be poured directly on the suit and it will wipe away clean. The X Suit can also be stuffed into a bag for on-the-go use and it won't wrinkle or become creased. This high-tech suit was recently launched on [Kickstarter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/graftek-basics) and has already exceeded its funding goals. The X Suit comes in two styles -- a corporate option with fine tailoring details and a sport option with a detachable hood and casual cuffs. Both are available in a light gray and black but a charcoal option will become unlocked if Kickstarter funding reaches $750,000. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.1/10 - Popularity: 52% | Activity: 63% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Stain-repelling Clothing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop fabric treatments that repel stains to create low-maintenance and easy-to-clean clothing options. - **Nano-material Infused Products:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Utilize nano molecules in various consumer products to enhance their functionality, such as stain resistance, wrinkle resistance, and odor control. - **Multi-functional Apparel:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design clothing that serves multiple purposes, combining style, comfort, and performance into a single garment. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion and Apparel:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate advanced fabric technologies into the fashion industry to create innovative, high-performance clothing options. - **Textile and Fabric:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop and market novel fabric treatments and coatings that enhance the functionality and durability of textiles. - **Consumer Goods:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Apply emerging materials science and nanotechnology to develop consumer goods with enhanced features like stain resistance, wrinkle resistance, and odor control. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Crowdfunded Graphene-Infused Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/graftek-basics.md) - [Hydrophobic Technical Tees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/technical-tee.md) - [Rugged Graphene Clothing Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/graphenex-everything-proof-kit.md) - [Performance-Focused Casual Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lee-x.md) - [Protective Cut-Proof Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/armortex-jacket.md) - [State-Of-The-Art Exoskeleton Technology](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/exoskeleton-technology.md) - [Protective Silver-Infused Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shielding-jacket.md) - [Menswear Brand Expansions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/silver-denim-collection.md) - [Metal-Infused Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stone-islands-metal-mesh-jacket.md)
