WTB: Helmut Lang Bulletproof Vest

Before Ye, Moncler and Rick Owens (to name a few) decided this sort of thing would be a good idea, the certified don himself put a fucking bullet proof vest down the runway as produced as part of his Autumn/Winter 1997 collection. Honestly, I’m not sure if he was the first to do this, but he might as well have been because this thing is legendary. Thanks to Lang, you can let everyone know you trap without going out and buying a real one, which will definitely get you put on some kind of hit list.


Speaking of airport security, don’t think for a second that you’ll be able to float into the VIP line at the Southwest Airlines gate wearing this shit. In fact, don’t wear it to school or like a bank or really anywhere, people WILL get the wrong idea. This shit is pretty much unwearable in 2016, which is why it’s wild that these routinely go for around $1,000. So in the event that you do rack out and buy one, make sure you post a ton of fit pics because at the end of the day the only thing this shit will protect you from is haters and smart financial decisions.
