Employees at Kuchou-fuku in Tokyo don't mind that the temperature inside the office is about 100F.
YouTube: 'A Japanese company is promoting air-conditioned jackets and shirts. Self-cooling clothes may seem like the stuff of science fiction, but for this company they are good for business.
Shirts and jackets made by Kuchou-fuku -- meaning "air-conditioned clothes" -- keep the wearer comfortable even in sweltering heat.
Two small fans sewn into the back of each garment are powered by a pocket-sized rechargeable battery pack. The fans circulate air across the wearer's skin, evaporating perspiration and keeping temperatures down. And all this while only using one-50th of the energy of a small air conditioner.
This is a welcome respite from Japan's mid-summer humidity where the temperature has hovered around 38 degrees Celsius recently.'
