Drip-Dry Bullfighters

The invention of the drip-dry matador suit, announced in February 1973, was certainly an important moment in the history of fashion. [The Day (Feb 24 1973), Evening Independing (Mar 27, 1973)]

Does this mean that the matador need not change costume between fights if it is dirty? Just give him a bar of soap and hose him down?

Another thought occurred about urine but I didn't want to pursue it for a cheap laugh...

I saw a bull fight back in the 60's in Barcelona. It was quite a spectacle!
But the suit of lights is so tight I don't think the matadors could pee if they had to!

KDP, we are all about cheap laughs around here honey. You should know that by now!
As far as the suit, $600? I only paid $20 for the dress I got married in 22 years ago. (23 in Feb)
