Maybe it spreads like a fungus, all you'd have to do is spray it on your shoulders and sides and it would spread over to form in the back.

It also shows why the Scouts are right with the 'Be Prepared' motto. I'm likely guessing that those EMT scissors weren't borrowed from the first aid kit. :>
BUt yeah, it does have useful... applications *snerk*, in say the outdoor supplies industry. I could see it being very useful with some work.
It's a good idea that is really looking for an application.
Yep, too bad that application ISN'T clothing....
A looser weave than grandma's oversized knit stocking caps.
Unattached fibers hanging all over the place.
Lumpy/Furry and doesn't even actually cover most places (easily see through).
Obviously quite fragile from how delicately he was holding it.
Built up in layers rather than an actual solid piece of fabric.
I can think of a few things it might be used for with some refinement,
but actual spray-on clothing isn't one of them.
Edit: And I love the final "let's spray paint on a few green swirly patterns...there NOW it's clothing !!!"

Hello, my name is Soulwind and I have Alt-Itis.
survivalist gear is a good ap for it. Should market it that way more.

This will never catch on. I can't imagian trying to cover my body in stray paint is easier then putting on some underware, pants, and a shirt. I have alot of body to cover, would prolly need 2 cans and some help to get good coverage on my back.. so no, i'll stick with slacks and a tee shirt. Thanks anyways.
I'm also not digging the idea of a full body wax the first time i'd have to use the stuff...

If you can't learn to do something well... learn to enjoy doing it poorly...
another thing you could do with it, depending on how sticky it is and such is you could give a quick extra layer to say a dress or something so that if it's a cold night and you want to wear said dress you still could, without ruining the dress itself to add that extra insulation, because you could apply to the dress's inside and not have any extra thread marks or anything like that
It would also help provide coverage for for ladies that are afraid of a wardrobe malfunction with outfits that they can't wear a bra with.
So there are plenty of potential uses for this... just not as advertised as full clothing. For that, they'd need a wide spray and a machine that can hit both sides. They'd also make it less see through before it catches on en-masse for anything other than people that like the look and don't mind wearing mesh and such
That would also be totally impractical - you just need to make sure you're not outside too long, and use some double-sided tape 
The whole spray-on clothing thing in general is over-complicating something that's so simple we figured out the basics for it thousands of years ago

I don't know of any self-respecting backpacker who would take an AEROSOL CAN with them for any reason. Heck, the super serious ones even remove the tags from their clothing to cut down on weight.
And if you're "car camping", well, I still don't see a need for it.
Useless product is useless.

Those ultra-light backpackers overdo it, IMO. For your weekend/day hiker, it might be something to consider, maybe even so far as thru-hikers, but the guys who plan out every gram of weight? Ya, it's not for them.

You need a second person you're extreeemely comfortable with to help you.
It's insanely unflattering.
Does not account for body hair.
By the looks of it, you could
-Take the time to spray on your own shirt
or
-Drive 20 minutes to the store, buy a new shirt, head back home, and possibly wash and dry your new shirt in LESS time than it would take you to spray on said shirt.
It's an interesting start though, I'll give them that much.
Maybe adapt it to the spray-on-tan booths?
Tales of Judgment. Also here, instead of that other place.
good luck D.B.B.

um... Now for something completely different.
Yeah I thought SPIDERMAN when I saw the spray fabric.

There is nothing efficient, environmentally friendly, or useful about this product.
In my book, it is epic fail.

All I can say is that if you had to cut her out of them, it became "shear" fabulousness.
Clicking on the linked image above will take you off the City of Heroes site. However, the guides will be linked back here.

What if it offered a form of synthetic flesh/binding agent to protect a wound sustained on trail (think bio-foam from Halo)? Or for the hiker who gets in over his head and ends up with ripped clothing or finds that the trail is covered in nettles or other thorny agents while he's only wearing shorts?|

I can definitely see usage there.

Hello, my name is Soulwind and I have Alt-Itis.
One use I can think of for it is making costumes and stuff like that. Make a mold then spray the stuff overtop in layers, maybe top with liquid latex to waterpoof/add strength and flexibility...
Granted its never going to match a talented tailor, but for someone who isnt experienced in it...
Jay Doherty: Yes, there was this one night that I was ready to go home but had to drop the browns off at the super bowl before I left for home. While on the throne it hit me. I stayed for a few more hours and that why we have the pain pads in the game.
gonna be fun spraying that onto your back to make a full shirt
