「散發酒氣的西裝」蘇格蘭酒品製造商研發氣味布料保存新技術
在正常情况下，如果你的衣服上有酒精味，意味著你已經喝茫了或是正在宿醉中。蘇格蘭人則是嘗試將蘇格蘭格子布和威士忌融合出一個全新的形象。蘇格蘭威士忌製造商約翰走路(Johnnie Walker)和知名布料商哈里斯(Harris Tweed Hebrides)合作，打造一個第一件能保留且自體散發威士忌酒香的布料。所有的技術開發都事由位於愛丁堡的赫瑞瓦特大學紡織設計學院進行研發完成，並進行測試。這項被稱作「水上阿爾巴(Aqua Alba)」的香味，是採用高科技超微膠囊化的香味保存技術，使香味能在多次洗滌或乾洗之後還能保持其香味，就像才剛剛把一瓶1000塊錢的威士忌淋到衣服上一樣。
意大利的時裝設計師安吉洛將會開發出一條適合此款布料的衣服生產線。預計約翰走路(Johnnie Walker)和知名布料商哈里斯(Harris Tweed Hebrides)也將合作開發出符合高端客戶的系列商品。或許不久的將來，你將可以在路上聞到有人穿著6000元一瓶的藍標約翰走路香氣西裝。
These clothes smell like Johnnie Walker whisky, on purpose
Usually, having the odor of alcoholic beverages clinging to your clothes means you've been over-imbibing or just plain clumsy with your cocktails. A new variation on the classic Scottish tweed fabric is going for a whiskey smell on purpose. Scotch maker Johnnie Walker and textiles maker Harris Tweed Hebrides have gotten together to create to a whisky-scented fabric.
The heavy lifting on the development process was done by Heriot-Watt University's School of Textiles and Design in Edinburgh and Galashiels, Scotland. The aroma is applied to the fabric using a micro-encapsulation technology that allows the scent to survive the dry-cleaning process so you can always smell like you just accidentally spilled a $30 bottle of blended Scotch on yourself. The scent has been named "Aqua Alba."
Italy-based fashion designer Angelos Bratis will be creating a line of clothing using the fabric. Perhaps Johnnie Walker and Harris Tweed Hebrides will one day offer even higher-end variations of the cloth. For example, you could conceivably wear a suit that smells like a $200 bottle of Johnnie Walker Blue.
No prices have been announced for clothes made from this fancy fabric, but a real Harris Tweed suit doesn't come cheap. If the Johnnie Walker jacket ends up being out of your budget, you could always get away with picking up a thrift-store coat and a bottle of Old Smuggler and doing it yourself, reapplying as needed since you probably don't want to actually drink Old Smuggler.
