In 1985, the Innovative Design Fund placed an ad in Scientific American offering up to $10,000 to support clever prototypes for clothing, home decor, and textiles. William Freeman Ph.D., then an electrical engineer at Polaroid and now an MIT professor, saw it and submitted a novel idea: a three-sided zipper. Instead of fastening pants, it'd be like a switch that seamlessly flipped chairs, tents, and purses between soft and rigid states, making them easier to pack and put together.
Back when i was 16 I was hoping I’d see the day when the triple zipper became a reality. I never gave up hope. Here we are today. At long last. Take my money.
My and my best bro’s pants will never be unteathered. Just like our brohood.
