FL Natives Launch Kickstarter Campaign for "David Hyde Apparel"
First Anti-Sweat and Odor Men's Dress Shirt Is Brainchild of Boca Raton duo and UCF Alums
We all know a thing or two about sweating in Florida. Well, that may just be a thing of the past soon! This past Wednesday, David Hyde Apparel debuted the first, fully effective sweat-proof and stain-resistant men’s dress shirt on Kickstarter . In just three days, they've raised more than $8,000.
When asked, CEO and Co-Founder, David Schwartzberg reacted to initial funding: "We couldn't of asked for a better start to our campaign. In the first two days, we have funded more than 20% of our campaign goal, with 90 backers helping us raise a little over $8,000. The biggest obstacle we see now is making sure people hear about this at a nationwide scale. This Kickstarter campaign is a win-win situation for everyone. You can pre-order our sweat-proof dress shirts at an all time low price, while we can put the money towards our first production run, bringing David Hyde Apparel to fruition."
The groundbreaking clothing line is the brainchild of two recent University of Central Florida, David Schwartzberg and Jacob Boyer, who collectively designed this dress shirt to address the age-old problem of excessive sweating and unsightly, stubborn stain marks.
How does it work? Let's break it down: The fabric face is made of stretch cotton and treated with a chemical-free, hydrophobic solution. This enables the fabric to repel sweat and other liquids. The interior fabric is a moisture-wicking synthetic blend that dries two and a half times faster than ordinary cotton. Together, this combination pulls sweat away from skin – without showing through. The shirt will eventually retail for around $140.
