The Summer Oxford shirt with hidden microfiber cloth encourages lazy cleaning

Ever since we’ve been taught to clean surfaces with a piece of cloth, it’s been human instinct to wipe smartphones and glasses with a section of our shirt. It’s not our fault – most people don’t carry microfiber clothes everywhere they go, and the ends of our shirts are so much more convenient. Which is why this VoyVoy Summer Oxford shirt with a microfiber cloth sewn on the underside of the shirt makes so much sense. It’s not a solution mom would be proud of, but it’s one she secretly wish existed years before.

There’s no need to change your ritual or routine – the sewn-in cloth will guarantee a better clean than most shirt materials. It’s also safer on more delicate surfaces, like glasses with anti-reflective coating or camera lens.

New York-based designer Nat Disston said the inspiration for the shirt came after returning from a beach vacation. “I pulled my sunglasses out of my bag and began wiping some salt from the beach off the lenses with my shirt tail. That triggered the idea,” Disston tells Co.Design. Using your shirt to clean glass surfaces was never a taught concept, just an oddly common human behavior. You’re not supposed to clean things this way, but if you’re going to do it anyway, it might as well be optimized.

“I spent that week figuring out the logistics of the addition… [and] made a prototype myself that night to see how the patch looked, where it would go, and how big it would be,” he says. “I sourced a fabric that was machine washable, affordable, and a dense microfiber – perfect for cleaning glasses.”

If you’re thinking you could just go home, find one of those microfiber squares you get with new pairs of glasses and glue them onto your shirt to recreate Disston’s shirt, you’d be mistaken. “Fusing or bonding the fabric entirely would cause some issues – a strong bond may create a little stain on the front side of the shirt. It would also make this corner of the shirt tail very stiff. A lighter bond would compromise durability, as it could lose its bond with wear and tear,” Disston explains of his experiment in creating the final prototype. After coming up with the ideal solution, the final VoyVoy shirt shows no sign of a microfiber cloth underneath while staying lightweight and secure. Of course, it’s also handy for when you need to give your phone and glasses a quick wipe from all the fingerprint or rain smudges.

The first round of the VoyVoy Oxford shirt has already sold out, but you can get on the waitlist for the next round if you’re willing to fork $98 per shirt.

The Ioniq 5 is once again eligible for the $7,500 tax credit
2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5

After a brief and confusing absence, the Hyundai Ioniq 5 is once again eligible for the full $7,500 federal tax credit — and this time, it's sticking around (at least for now). So, what happened? Let’s unpack the ride.

The Ioniq 5, a sleek and tech-savvy electric crossover, initially made headlines not just for its design, but for being built at Hyundai’s brand-new Metaplant in Georgia. That domestic assembly qualified it for the EV tax credit under the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), which requires vehicles to be made in North America with batteries sourced from trade-friendly countries. But early in 2025, the Ioniq 5 vanished from the list. Why? Likely due to its battery packs, which were then still being sourced from SK On’s Hungarian facility.

Jeep Compass EV breaks cover—but will it come to the U.S.?
jeep compass ev us newjeepcompassfirsteditionhawaii  4

Jeep just pulled the wraps off the all-new Compass EV, and while it’s an exciting leap into the electric future, there's a catch—it might not make it to the U.S. anytime soon.
This is a brand new electric version of the Jeep Compass, and being built on Stellantis' STLA platform—the same architecture underpinning models like the Peugeot E-3008 and E-5008—it looks much slicker and packs a lot more inside than previous versions of the Compass.
Let’s start with what’s cool: the new Compass EV is packing up to 404 miles of range on a single charge, a 74 kWh battery, and fast-charging that gets you from 20% to 80% in about 30 minutes. Not bad for a compact SUV with Jeep's badge on the nose.
There are two versions: a front-wheel-drive model with 213 horsepower and a beefier all-wheel-drive version with 375 horsepower. That AWD setup isn’t just for looks—it can handle 20% inclines even without front traction, and comes with extra ground clearance and better off-road angles. In short, it’s still a Jeep.
The design's been refreshed too, and inside you’ll find the kind of tech and comfort you’d expect in a modern EV—sleek, smart, and ready for both city streets and dirt trails.
But here’s the thing: even though production starts soon in Italy, Jeep hasn’t said whether the Compass EV is coming to America. And the signs aren’t promising.
Plans to build it in Canada were recently put on hold, with production now delayed until at least early 2026. Some of that might have to do with possible U.S. tariffs on Canadian and Mexican vehicles—adding a layer of uncertainty to the whole rollout.
According to Kelley Blue Book, a Stellantis spokesperson confirmed that the company has “temporarily paused work on the next-generation Jeep Compass, including activities at” the Canadian plant that was originally meant to build the model. They added that Stellantis is “reassessing its product strategy in North America” to better match customer needs and demand for different powertrain options.
So while Europe and other markets are gearing up to get the Compass EV soon, American drivers might be left waiting—or miss out entirely.
That’s a shame, because on paper, this electric Jeep hits a lot of sweet spots. Let’s just hope it finds a way over here.
