First of all, let me say state that I am a huge fan of innovation. I find most 'new stuff' pretty exciting - and worringly seductive. Which is why I was surprised to be almost in tears on the tube earlier today reading a couple of articles in Metro.
There are two new products for kids/teenagers on the market. The first is UK made - a knife-proof hoodie made from Kevlar (like military body armour in Iraq), which recently protected a 15-year whilst he was slashed at a cash machine.
This is his hoodie. His back was OK, but his hands took a bit of punishment.
It would appear that "the hoodies have also proved a hit with female joggers and dog walkers - prompting makers Bladerunner to bring them out in baby blue and pink".
The second is from the US, and as this youtube promo shows, just as bleak.
Sigh.
This post has been somewhat of a revelation to me.
