Miguel Caballero is not your regular fashion
designer, but he's well known and he's a legend in his lane.
For 25 years Caballero has been styling the world's VIPs with his
stylish, bulletproof clothing line that shares his name. His client list
includes Michael Bloomberg, Steven Seagal, King Fernando of Spain, and it's
rumored he made bulletproof attire for President Obama's 2009 inauguration.
He's also shot at every one of his employees and they've all survived
because he wants them to believe in the product they make.
In his words, "Several times I've shot my wife, I've shot my
lawyer, my brothers, and I've shot myself. It's in order to get a good quality
product."
Caballero makes everything from formal wear to raincoats and leather
jackets. The presidents of Kenya, Nigeria, El Salvador, Paraguay, Panama,
Guatemala, and Uruguay currently wear his threads. His tank tops, which retail
for $1,500, are the most popular item with world leaders.
Caballero's designs are certified by the National Institute of Justice
which means the U.S. government has signed off on their effectiveness. The
bulletproof tank top can withstand twelve bullets six in the back and six in
the front, from 9mm or .357 magnum rounds.
