Nanotechnology: it's not just for breakfast anymore!

Speaking as someone currently producing enough pollen-induced phlegm to end world hunger as we know it, I gotta say, this looks cool:

NAGOYA — Textile maker Miyuki Keori Co said Monday it has developed a fabric it claims can prevent pollen from clinging to it with the help of nanotechnology, which could be a boon to people with hay fever. The company, controlled by Miyuki Holdings Co, said it plans to start selling men's winter suits made of the fabric between late August and September.

Only thing I don't get is: winter suits? Isn't that the only season us allergy sufferers don't have to worry about pollen? (Via Gizmodo.)
