"Armor Jacket: Available in a wide selection of tailoring, from chic
street styling to the harsh ribbed and padded aesthetic of macho
militarism, these jackets offer substantial protection."

I'm curious as to what a full flak jacket with "chic street styling"
looks like. :)

Well, it's street-chic. I doubt that this is anything like "trés chic"
from the BBB, but more like current style which is appreciated by street
types. Or, maybe it really is chic clothing. I just never thought that
Armor Jackets should look anything like normal clothing... especially
not in Seattle, where a full jacket may seem strange with the higher
temperature there. Hey, it even depends on the time of the year!
