Super-stylin' rags for rich, unpopular people

What do you get the stylish, ambitious young exec who has everything? Well, if he's got a price on his head- or he does a lot of business in volative Middle Eastern nations- then consult the expert services of Miguel Caballero, clothier to the paranoid jet-set.

Now here's a designer who knows how to marry high fashion with military-grade ballistic resistance. Whether it's attending that all-important 'special contractor' meeting in Baghdad's bustling financial center, or heading out for dinner and drinks in Beirut's 'party district', Miguel has you covered. Everything from bulletproof tuxedo suits to bulletproof 100% cotton t-shirts are on offer at the clothing line's official website. There's country-themed wear, strictly formal attire and even some beach-friendly duds, for the fun-loving beachcomber who's life is under constant threat.

Caballero also caters to tactical and private security clients, but the focus is most definitely on providing fashionable alternatives to those oh-so-clunky bulletproof vests currently sported by SWAT teams and visiting dignitaries. The bulletproof elements of each item are camouflaged for discretion and well-cushioned, and the thin, thermo-regulating materials provide extra comfort.

If you've got the money to spare- as you might imagine, these rags ain't cheap- then a closet full of Miguel Caballero might not be such a bad idea. After all, you can expect to be shot at quite a bit come December 21st, 2012.

I say, if you have to spend your days running for your life, can't you at least try to look fabulous whilst you're at it? After all, looking good is the first step towards feeling good, and feeling good is the first step towards surviving the End of Days.
