LONDON, Aug. 16 (UPI) -- Bulletproof designer fashion is now available through Britain's best-known retailer.

Harrods is now carrying a Colombian entrepreneur's line of luxury "ballistic daywear" for customers fearing personal attack. Included among those wanting the clothes are King Abdullah II of Jordan, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, Colombian President Alvaro Uribe and actor Steven Segal, The Daily Telegraph reported Saturday.

The customized clothing line includes a polo shirt, a blazer, a sports jacket, a biker jacket and a raincoat with prices ranging between $6,500 and $15,400. It is described as being wearable at parties even while tough enough to withstand fire from an Uzi machine gun.

Topics: Alvaro Uribe, Hugo Chavez, King Abdullah II, Steven Segal
