Bulletproof by appointment.

Caballero first started making bulletproof clothes in his native Colombia in the early 1990s. It was at the peak of the Medellin drug cartel's power, and Colombia was awash in violence. Now the multibillion-dollar drug trade is dominated by Mexican cartels. And as Mexican President Felipe Calderon confronts the gangs, violence here has skyrocketed, killing thousands. In one week in May, six high-ranking police officials, including the nation's top cop, were assassinated.

Starting at around $2,000, Caballero offers bulletproof business suits, long Burberry-type raincoats, slick biker jackets and a women's ski parka in orange with a fake fur collar.

"We can make any type of bulletproof vest," he says. "But the basis of the company is design, fashion, discretion. And what we are doing all the time — the discretion — we are working to develop the concept of fashion and, in this way, it's very comfortable and flexible."

Caballero insists that he only provides his products to "the good guys" and doesn't sell to drug dealers. He vets his clients against a terrorist watch list maintained by the U.S. Treasury Department.

The 'designer' items, created by Miguel Caballero will go on sale at Harrods later this week and are said to help protect the wearer against bullets, knives and other weapons.

The garments are slightly heavier than normal but the lining - a closely guarded secret - can stop high-velocity 9mm hardball and 44 Magnum rounds.

They have even been certified by the United States National Institute of Justice (up to level 111A)

Items in his latest collection include suede jackets, blazers and raincoats and Prince Felipe of Spain, King Abdullah of Jordan and Stephen Seagal are all said to be customers.
Caballero says the items will go on sale at the famous Knigtsbridge department store soon.
