While the market for a bulletproof three piece suit might not extend past the stylishly paranoid and James Bond, it’s nonetheless comforting to know that a lack of mass appeal for such an incredibly amusing piece of technology isn’t deterring someone out there from making it happen.
Made from a carbon nanotube fiber developed in conjunction with the US Army, the fine folks at Garrison Bespoke assure us that this suit is 50% lighter than your typical Kevlar vest, and is capable of stopping .22 and .40 caliber bullets. It doesn’t skimp on the style either, as the suit is made to fall in line with the rest of the high quality works that Garrison Bespoke is infamous for. It all fits into the designers overall goal for the project, which is to provide a discreet and comfortable practical alternative to the average bullet proof vest.
While the style is clear to anyone with eyes, most of us will just have to take the designer’s word on the functionality as these babies go for about $20,000 a pop. It’s a disheartening price tag to be sure, but since the odds are that you do not need this in your everyday life, feel free to sit back, admire this fun invention, and ponder what the end of “Scarface” would have looked like had Tony Montana been able to buy a few less exotic animals, and spring for some of these instead.
