Saw this on the news this morning. This company, started at MIT, is using space suit technology to improve men's business wear. From their website:
Ministry of Supply is creating the next generation of business wear. Started in late 2010 at MIT, Ministry of Supply has a vision for what business wear should be - truly adaptive to the human body. Our team combines diverse backgrounds, with past experiences working on the iPhone at Apple, designing with IDEO, doing investment banking in London, operations consulting at Deloitte, non-profit work, and yes, designing space suits at MIT...
Here is their Kickstarter page, which has more information.

As someone who has to wear a shirt and tie to work every day this interests me. The fact that it utilizes space tech is a cool bonus.

All times are CT (US)
