Let\u2019s face it, global warming is real, and it\u2019s already affecting millions worldwide. Japan is also bearing the brunt of hot summer days, prompting manufacturers to come up with innovative ways of cooling down in the peak heat. There are personal fans to direct chilled air at the most sensitive neck areas that cool down the whole body, or the more radical solutions like the human refrigerator<\/a> to walk into and have the next-generation cooling effect.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve come across another interesting personal cooling solution that comes from the land of the rising Sun, and is equally out of the box for everyday use. The solution takes the popular Yofuku no Aoyama formal attire and outfits it with fans to provide active cooling to settle down the extreme heat build-up on hot days. Called the Kuchofuku Air-Conditioned Short Sleeve Work Shirt, the attire developed in collaboration with fan-equipped fashion maker FZN is meant for people exposed to extreme daytime heat.<\/p>\n

Designer: Yofuku no Aoyama<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

If you are in Japan, Yofuku no Aoyama is a household name when you need to be dressed for important events or meetings with clients. They\u2019ve got the idea to keep you well dressed all day long without any uncomfortable feeling triggered by the lack of proper cooling outdoors. This seemingly normal button-up shirt has the understated summer business look, but on the inside, it comes loaded with two active cooling fans. Who could have thought of that? Although it does look a little bulged up on the sides, which can make you seem slightly fatty on the sides. That\u2019s because of the wearable cooling fan system taking up the space, and the fans engaged during use.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The fans have three operating settings: direct cool air inwards, keeping the wearer comfortable when the Sun is beating down hard. Although not as foolproof as the human cooling refrigerator mentioned earlier, this one does provide temporary relief. At the highest settings, it can stretch for around 3.5 hours, while at the lowest operation mode the wearer can enjoy cool air for around 10 hours. We\u2019ve seen such solutions in the past coming from Japan, mostly targeted for field workers, but they are mostly gear and nothing like apparel. This one changes the outlook, as it is a blue-collar uniform disguised as a cool-down solution for more formal business settings.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

From the front, the Kuchofuku Air-Conditioned Short Sleeve Work Shirt doesn\u2019t give away the innards, but from the back, the fans can be visible. That means you\u2019ll either have to mask it with some blazer, or not expose to onlookers from the side profile. You\u2019ll also have to be mindful of the 95 grams added weight of each of the fans, and the 165 grams rechargeable battery pack. I hope the weight distribution is done better on this formal shirt; it\u2019ll feel like carrying a sizeable phone or battery bank.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The short-sleeved shirt meant to be worn hustling for a day\u2019s meetings from one location to the other is available in blue or gray colors, in medium, large, or XL sizes. It can be bought right away from the Yofuku no Aoyama stores or the company\u2019s online shop for 17,490 yen (approximately $111).<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
