Dressed Not to be Killed

For the English socialite worried about getting shot, oversize
paramilitary gear simply won't do. Fortunately, London's superrich can
now maintain their security without sacrificing style. On July 14,
Miguel Caballero, the world's only producer of "designer bulletproof
fashion," started selling his high-security garments at posh London
department store Harrods. His new collection includes blazers, raincoats
and suede jackets, some replete with a comforting stab-proof lining.
Customers get to select from three levels of ballistic protection. For
instance, a polo shirt that can withstand a slug from a 9-mm revolver
costs roughly $7,500; a version for about $9,800 protects wearers from
automatic weapons, including mini-Uzis.

Another article I ran across covering this says Caballero does not
use Kevlar, the composition of the lining in his clothing is a secret.
I wonder if it comes out of Japan....
