A fresh new shirt delivered at the push of a button is now on offer for travellers in the US.

在美国的旅客们现在只需按一个按钮，就能买到一件崭新的衬衫。

Japanese fashion brand Uniqlo has installed a vending¹ machine dispensing² clothing at Oakland Airport in California.

Nine other machines will pop up at airports and malls at sites including Los Angeles, Houston and New York in the coming months.

They will stock men and women's shirts and lightweight jackets.

Uniqlo USA chief executive Hiroshi Taki said the technology brought "convenience to travellers looking for a warm jacket without the bulk or a versatile³ undershirt".

The company hopes the gimmick⁴ will help entice⁵ customers to the Asian brand, which has struggled in its attempts to penetrate⁶ the US market.

Airports and malls were selected as high-traffic locations to supplement its 45 stores in the country.
