I do have some questions about its viability though. First, they say that these hoodies are for kids who live in more dangerous neighborhoods. Yet numbers support that if your 'hood's dangerous it's likely also poor, and at $130 a pop (or £65) it's unlikely that the hoodies intended audience can afford them. Secondly, just because it's slash proof doesn't mean it can prevent someone from jacking you for your slash-proof hoodie. And lastly, there's the question of even if this does take off in Europe could it ever make it's way to the States? Because slash-proof definitely doesn't equate to bullet proof.
On a slightly unrelated topic: in light of today's tragedy in Blacksburg could someone in Washington please, for the love of God, renew the gun control debate? It's time to tell Charlton Heston and Ted Nugent to f- off. I'm not saying abolish guns, that would be absolutely impossible, but it should nearly impossible to obtain a gun and law enforcement needs to crack down on the black market for these weapons. Then maybe a slash-proof hoodie would make some sense in this country.
