Busy executives in many countries, including India, can now have a unique suit which they can wear while taking a shower.

The garment that is expected to hit Indian market in near future has been specially designed so that it can be cleaned under the shower-head and there is no need for soaking, dry cleaning or even soaping.

The Japanese market has shown interest in the 'shower suit,' that has been described as 'revolutionary' by its inventor, Australian Wool Innovation (AWI), a research and marketing body which represents Australian wool growers, Australian Associated Press report said.

The suit could be worn in the shower, although it was probably better to drape it on a hanger and carry it instead, AWI Corporate Affairs Spokesman Stephen Feighan said.

"The idea is that you hang it up and then you give it a spray, leave it overnight and it's dry the next morning," Feighan said.

A Japanese researcher working for AWI invented the suit by combining three technologies which includes minimal lining that allows it to dry quickly.

Shower suit appealed to busy corporate people, particularly those who travelled frequently or stayed up late, Feighan said.

Feighan admitted he had not donned one of the suits yet, or tried to wash it in the shower, because they were cut to fit Japanese figures.

AWI believed the shower suit will spread from the Japanese market to Europe and India.

Feighan hoped the suit, made from local wool, would be available in Australia in 12 to 18 months' time.
