Mar 24 2008Shirt Allegedly Protects From Knife Slashes
This shirt from Nihon Uni of Japan allegedly protects its wearer from knife attacks. But be warned -- only slashes, NOT stabs. They cost anywhere from $190-$522 for short-sleeved models and $220-$590 for the long. The shirts are constructed of a ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene fiber that's 3x the strength of cotton. Apparently they were designed to address the recent increase in knife attacks on convenience store clerks and children in Japan. If these really help then I'm all for them. However I'm going to hold out for the stab proof version myself. When the wife gets mad she doesn't get all slashy on me, she gets stabby. And, on more than one occasion, shooty.
Meshy T-shirt from Japan protects you from Knife attacks but not Shurikens [newlaunches]

It obviously doesn't protect you from lopsided breasts though

@1, I think the lopsidedness is due to her posture, really.

Lopsided or not, she looks like a mannequin

Ok so they're aimed at people who work at convenience stores and children....hmmm, so for that price, do they actually expect to sell any, especially to those they're marketing to?
She does look a bit plastic, and the lopsideness is due to the way she's standing.

Lopsided or not.....still a very nice looking pair of "sweater-kittens".

You don't want Mr. Stabby. A sample of his efficient work:

That shirt just makes me want to stab the model with my mutton dagger.

Dear clem,
Mutton makes a poor dagger. It has a tendency to get soft and floppy just a the moment of contact. I suggest you use a metal next time to make your daggers.
Please see the fact sheet on our website for further information.

This shirt obviously only works to protect the front of the wearer, from the way she is standing, she clearly has a knife in the back.

well, now that I know this, I'll be sure to stab people instead of slashing... Takes all the fun out of it though...

slash proof maybe, but not grope proof. UNGH!

Who "slashes" these days? Bullet proof would be more useful! I don't advise the purchase of this product usless you are, in fact, a tire.
