Eggshell Membranes Can Do More

Eggshell Pants

Japanese company Descente (which is like their version of Dupont), are selling pants that are lined with membranes found inside chicken eggs. Each pant needs eight eggs to completely line it. The membrane which is a protein, is turned into a powder after which it is attached to a fine polyester (not your grandma's polyester) fiber. Fabric made from this polyester is water resistant and dries faster than ordinary fibers. It also repels static leaving your pants wrinkle free.
