The fabric will be embedded with teeny scent capsules that release the scent as the wearer moves around, and will last through 30 washes.

All they need to do is raise $25,000, and voila! Musky-pear scented man-deroos for all. And as of this writing, it looks like they’re well on their way. If you want a piece of the action, you have 13 days to contribute. Allons-y!
