Uzi-proof fashion.
Here’s a nice Valentine gift for that special person who likes casual, protection from the elements, and protection from Uzi’s & 44 magnums.
Plus it’s waterproof, with an optional stab-proof lining. It’s a bit pricier than one that protects you from bird shot. The sales rep wouldn’t say how much but our research guesses at about $10G’s USD. A less is more polo shirt is about $12G’s. Country of origin for bullet-proof apparel? You’re right! Columbia.
Designer: miguel caballero “The Armani of Armor”
Retailer: Harrods (London) and many other spots in Central America
