Nikola Tesla t shirt by Emma Ridgway

£ 39.00

Nicola Tesla, 10 July 1856 - 7 January 1943, a Serbian American genius. Creativity and eccentricity are often bed fellows, Tesla had plenty of both. At his death aged 86 he was the holder of about 300 patents, not to mention myriad other inventions that he did not bother to file. He won the "War of Currents" but his success with the lesser war of radio, Marconi had the counter claim to being first, was less clear cut. Almost certainly his eccentricity cost him a Nobel Prize. This t shirt by Emma Ridgeway outsells all her other work combined.

Our t-shirts are unique for being wholly made with CoolMax freshFX. CoolMax is a patented fibre designed to wick perspiration and accelerate moisture evaporation, keeping wearers cooler and drier. This wicking feature of the fabric is made possible by micro channels engineered into the profile of and surface of the fibre. These channels are cleverly dimensioned to exploit the surface tension and capillary action of water. Being physical properties of the fibre, these channels endure and do not significantly diminish with wear or washing.

Antimicrobial (freshFX) treatment stops the propagation of odour producing bacteria. This is achieved by embedding silver salt crystals into the structure of the fibre. FreshFX treatment like the wicking is permanent and does not leach out with everyday use. These characteristics ensure the shirts remain cool, dry and odour free regardless of what you might do in them. Performance of the fabric is guaranteed through a certified and monitored manufacturing process.
