$12,000 Caballero Polo Shirt will Let no bullet harm You

Miguel Caballero aka the Armani of armor has presented its latest clothing line with bulletproof shirt. It is lightweight, has removable ballistic panels which allow maximum flexibility and discretion while providing protection from weaponry ranging from a 9mm pistol to an Uzi. Harrods of London is now selling a $12,000 anti-ballistic polo shirt to clients such as Prince Felipe of Spain and Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez.

The polo shirt is from Caballero’s high-end Black Label line, virtually indistinguishable from Italian designer garments, which includes various leather jackets and even a bulletproof tuxedo shirt. However, since the linen-covered polo is by necessity quite thin, considerable skill and expense is involved in crafting it. Harrod’s is the first and only retail outlet for Caballero’s line outside of South and Central America, catering to demand to the increasing number of Russian oligarchs who are buying up London’s priciest real estate. However, U.S. residents can order custom-made garments directly from Caballero’s Bogota atelier, should you wish for a bulletproof cashmere topcoat, for instance.
