Fortier & Co. Makes Stylin’ Body Armor
(Luxist) Sure your coat can keep you dry but can it take care of you in case of attack? Fortier & Co. provides soft body armor which can be worn more discreetly than traditional body armor. The ballistic fiber is ten times stronger than steel but lightweight. Fortier & Co. works with brands like Burberry, Calvin Klein, Kenneth Cole and Columbia to create clothing that is stylish but secure. This Burberry double breasted trench has the classic check lining with zip-out wool warmer and over collar. It has integrated Twaron body armor and sells for $2,195 for the most basic level of protection.
Mystech: I’m every bit as surprised as you, honestly. I wonder if they need a ready-made spokes-model? In this case, I’d certainly work for “product”. 🙂
Just to clarify, I do not know these particular Fortiers, nor am I wearing their products at any given moment, so please don’t “Houdini” me by surprise. 🙂
That actually sounds pretty cool, I’d be interested in finding out what kind of protection they offer, and how much heavier the coats are. I’m waiting (probably for a while) for the gel-impregnated cloth to come out, that can stop a bullet with one layer.
