It's nasty out there.
And in a town with this much penchant for drizzle—not to mention the occasional
crime spree—an umbrella just isn't enough protection. Hence the Bulletproof
Raincoat.
Designed to fit the European Police Standard for bulletproof vests, this low-key zip-up will shield you from
wind, rain and a .44 Magnum. (Brush up on your kung fu and you'll be ready for anything.) Made of ballistic
polyester canvas, the stealth armor weighs less than seven pounds, so you won't look or feel like you're
covered in sheet metal. And because it's also stab-proof, you're immune to slashes from switchblades, ice
picks, hypodermic needles and broken bottles (in other words, perfect for Thursdays at the White
Horse).
The jacket comes from the English company Spycatcher, previously your overseas source for lo-jacks and cell
phone interceptors. They offer the same bulletproofing in a denim or bomber edition (in case you ever need to go undercover as a longshoreman). For the
boardroom, there's the Executive
Waistcoat, which can be worn under a suit jacket so that no one has to know about your
precautionary measures but you.
Because when it's time for annual performance reviews, there's a fine line between acute paranoia and shrewd
business sense.
