Stealth Clothing


The Daily Mail reports on "Stealth Wear"--fashions designed to block thermal signatures from being seen by thermal imagers. I gather from the article that it is not yet on sale, but will be expensive when it is finally available. The article notes:
The nickel-metalized fabrics he uses to create his new clothing line are very specialized and very expensive, he says.

He does plan to offer the clothing at a price, but don’t expect to see these products at Target or Conway.

Harvey’s ‘Stealth Wear’ has been on display at Primitive London, a network of underground designers and artists, since Thursday, January 17.
The designers didn't stop there. The article states:

The designers also created a special pouch for cell phones that shields them from trackers by blocking the radio signals that phones emit and a shirt that blocks detection of the wearer’s heart.
Also:
In 2012 he introduced face makeup product called CVDazzle that allows the user to throw off face-recognition software.
