Bulletproof clothes attract sales despite staggering prices ahead of World Cup 2010
Colombia-based fashion designer Miguel Caballero has come up with a bulletproof clothing range ahead of the World Cup in South Africa. As of this writing, massive requests have been made for the purchase of the product.
The designer clothes are said to withstand machine-gun fire and what’s gaining more attention is the fact that this bulletproof product can pass off as a stylish gear. This new line of vests that can protect oneself from knives and bullets will be released in time for the World Cup 2010 this June.
One of the major retailers of the Caballero line is Harrods department store in London with prices starting at a thousand pounds.
Prominent leaders such as British Prime Minister Gordon Brown and United States President Barack Obama are reportedly buying this item.
According to the designer, the bulletproof vest can withstand a 9mm handgun, mini submachine gun and Magnum 44 among others.
