Gyms don’t faze the average person. But for the germophobic (did you wipe down the StairMaster?), automysophobic (is that dirt?), and bromidrophobic (what’s that stank?), they are hell on earth.
Fear not, freak. Every situation has a silver lining.
Literally. Est. 1887Ag, a new line of tees, is the fashion equivalent to molecular gastronomy. Combining 95 percent Supima cotton with 5 percent pure silver (Ag on the periodic table), the collection has style down to a science.
Check it: Silver neutralizes ammonia, protecting tees from nasty sweat spots. The line is also antimicrobial and helps regulate body temperature. A classic color scheme (black, gray, beige, and pink) makes it both wearable and practical.
Which means the next time you’re sweating it out, you won’t lose your cool.
Available at Haberdash, 1350 North Wells Street, between Schiller Street and Evergreen Avenue (312-440-1300 or haberdashmen.com); David Barton Gym, 600 West Chicago Avenue, at Larrabee Street (312-836-9127). Preorder women’s line online at est1887.com.
