This is possibly the coolest thing I have EVER seen, the Urban Security Suit designed by Tim Smit, is made of neoprene and lined with molded Kevlar, it also comes with stylish gas mask. Yes you could really use it in a war zone, and yes, it is quite ridiculous to consider how good you're looking while being shot at or gassed, but let's be honest, this would make one hell of a good looking soldier.
I suppose some interesting things to consider are the fact that this is obviously not uniform so would most likely to be worn by a rag-tag group of rebels, or by militants, not by any official armed forces. Perhaps this is terrorist-chic?
Obviously it's not actually meant to be genuinely worn in war as it's simply a piece of art, (although it would protect you if you needed it to), but it makes an interesting statement that war is so much a part of many peoples lives that, hey, why not have warfare fashion? Perhaps this is not so much a reality as an idea for a game or a story, but the idea that a war has been waged for so long that this kind of fashion for combat has emerged is certainly an interesting one. Food for thought at least.
Of course let's not forget the very coolest use for this piece of clothing, just how amazingly AWESOME (excuse the Americanism) would it be to show up at a club night like BangFace or to a festival wearing this thing? Frikkin' awesome is I think the appropriate answer here. I want one so very badly, although I would personally be content with a copy of the hoodie and the mask, I don't really need the Kevlar. Unfortunately I don't think they are on sale, but at the next masked themed club night I go to I am most definitely going to copy this outfit as well as I can. I mean my god! this is even cooler than my idea of wearing a mask of my own face over my face!
Also for your consideration, designer gas masks:
A bit to Bling if you ask me, but hey, maybe for the discerning rap artist with more money than taste?
