The article presents the new and fashionable bullet-proof business suit from Garrison Bespoke. The author, Brian Dodson, explains how a normal looking suit can protect a human being from being killed and provides lot of details on the material out of which this suit consists. He states that it contains several sheets of carbon nanotube fabric in its lining. These sheets of carbon nanotubes are thinner and lighter than other materials, like Kevlar, normally used for the production of bulletproof vests. The author explains that the resistance of the suit to bullets and stabbing is due to carbon nanotubes, the strongest and stiffest materials yet discovered. There strength stems from the layers of carbon atoms. Carbon tends to form a very strong bond to itself. The more layers are used, the stronger the bond. As they tend to tighten their weave when a point force tries to "cut" them, they cause the knife to blunt and in this vein stop it from penetrating the fabric. The author tries to undermine these statements by providing the results of tests, that showed that not even a 9mm round can penetrate the different layers.
