Gold Shirt

Datta Phuge of Pimpri-Chinchwad, India, spent £14,000 on a solid gold shirt in the hope it will attract female attention. The shirt is woven through with 24-karat gold thread and complete with its own matching cuffs and a set of rings crafted from left-over gold. 'I know I am not the best looking man in the world but surely no woman could fail to be dazzled by this shirt?' he explained 'The gold shirt has been one of my dreams,' Mr Phuge told Indian newspaper the Pune Mirror. 'It will be an embellishment to my reputation as the ‘Gold man of Pimpri"' Mr Phuge said. Via neatorama, image via Dailymail

R2D2 hoodie that zips up all the way

SuperHeroStuff's R2D2 hoodie is a $70 way to keep warm and look like a droid ($73 if you want to look like an XXL droid). I dig the way it turns into a droid-inspired fencing mask if you zip it up all the way, and the way that this makes you into something like the real R2D2 in that you have no peripheral vision and are prone to being tipped over by malefactors.
