Charged Cotton  is a sweatshirt that discreetly charges your phone while it’s in your pocket. It has a built in battery and embedded charging cable, and comes with a powered smart hanger that plugs into the wall.  The sweatshirt charges itself when placed on the hanger. This is done with internal wiring and convenient magnets that attach the charge points of the sweatshirt with the contacts on the hanger. One of the biggest problems with portable chargers is that it’s hard to remember to recharge them.  But to juice up Charged Cotton, simply do what you would normally do — throw it on the hanger! For washing, you are able to remove the battery from the sweatshirt, and if you want a bigger or smaller battery, you can even use your own! The discreet pouch holds the battery so securely and comfortably that you won’t even know it is there — until your phone runs low and you find you have the power that you need!
