bullet proof

[MrBern]

A stepped-up demand for vests, blazers and hoodies tough enough to deflect a .22-caliber blast but sleek enough for a night of clubbing suggests that body armor is not just for the security-conscious. Fake or real, it exerts a pull on those inclined to flaunt it as a flinty fashion statement.

“Tactical Corset.”

I could never pull off the corsetted look myself, but blessings to you, MrBern.

I've put brief thought into purchasing a bullet-resistant blazer in the past. I never really convinced myself to do it, but if I move to one of them-there big cities, I might be so inclined.
