Ran across this story in Michael Matterson’s Early to Rise Newsletter and thought to myself, “I’ve worked a few sites where something like that would come in handy.
Miguel Caballero is making millions as the first designer to
introduce a line of fashionable bulletproof (and sometimes stab-proof)
clothing. Customers can invest in coats, business suits, leather
jackets, and dress shirts made with protective panels that can stand up
to a bullet from a 44 magnum handgun, a mini-Uzi, or an AK47. To give
you an idea of price, a polo shirt capable of deflecting a bullet from
a 9 mm automatic goes for $7,500.
Some of Caballero’s high-profile clients include King Abdullah of
Jordan, President of Venezuela Hugo Chavez, and actor Steven Segal.
