$20,000 Custom Bulletproof Suit, Tailor Made

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.
This past year luxury tailor Garrison Bespoke worked alongside suppliers for the US 19th Special Forces in developing the custom bulletproof suit. Using nanotechnology, it’s comprised of the same carbon nanotubes designed for the US troops’ uniforms in Iraq.

The patented suit material is a lot thinner and flexible; fifty percent lighter than Kevlar (the material commonly used in bullet-proof gear). The entire suit acts like a shield, with nanotubes in the fabric hardening to block force from penetrating through.
If you want a Garrison Bespoke bulletproof suit prices start at $20,000.
The company “wanted to create a lightweight garment that not only looks professional, but can also act as reliable body armor. The idea was to create a stylish and discreet alternative to wearing a bulky bullet proof vest underneath a suit. This way, our clients, wouldn’t have to worry about looking awkward during meetings, and they can travel to work feeling comfortable, safe, and confident.”

Nice suit but you won’t find these in your local shops…..
It may be bulletproof but it’s not needle proof therfor anything with a long fine point will go right through it.
