They provide a fashionable place to deposit one’s nasal excretions, are a convenient place to dry one’s hands when caught without a towel, and are able to deflect bullets when one is caught in the middle of a gunfight. That’s right, the invention we’ve all been waiting for has finally arrived with the release of the ‘Bullet-Proof Gentleman’s Pocket Square’.</p> <p>The bullet-proof hanky is being sold exclusively at Iceland’s <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130421162219/http://liborius-boutique.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Liborius</a> and, although it is made from military grade Kevlar Arimid, (in lemon), the store and designer, “take NO responsibility for schmucks and wooden-heads who feel compelled to test the endurance or resistance of the textile in any way”. Not exactly a reassuring disclaimer, but for those James Bond types out there the Bullet-Proof Gentleman’s Square can also add a dash of color to a suit pocket as well as a bit of extra protection around the heart.</p> <p>The Bullet-Proof Gentleman’s Squares will be available in lots of 10 at a price TBA.</p> <p>Via: <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130421162219/http://www.gearfuse.com/bulletproof-handkerchief-is-as-classy-as-body-armor-gets/" target="_blank">GEARFUSE</a>.</p>   <div id="bottom_unit"> <script type="text/javascript"> </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130421162219js_/http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"></script> </div> </div>   <span class="title share_bar">Share</span> <div id="article_share_bar" class="dotsontop share_bar"> <div class="as_button fb_as_button"><div class="fb-like" data-href="http://www.gizmag.com/finally-a-bullet-proof-handkerchief/10173/" data-send="false" data-layout="box_count" data-show-faces="false"></div><script type="text/javascript">_ga.trackFacebook();</script></div> <div class="as_button"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130421162219/http://twitter.com/share" class="twitter-share-button" data-count="vertical" data-via="gizmag">Tweet</a></div> <div class="as_button"><div class="g-plusone" data-size="tall" data-href="http://www.gizmag.com/finally-a-bullet-proof-handkerchief/10173/"></div></div> <div class="as_button"><iframe style="overflow: hidden; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; " src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130421162219if_/http://badge.stumbleupon.com/badge/embed/5/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gizmag.com%2Ffinally-a-bullet-proof-handkerchief%2F10173%2F" width="50" height="60" id="iframe-stmblpn-widget-2"></iframe></div> <div class="as_button"><div class="pin-it-button" data-url="https://web.archive.org/web/20130421162219oe_/http://www.gizmag.com/finally-a-bullet-proof-handkerchief/10173/" data-image="http://images.gizmag.com/hero/10173_12100853810.jpg" data-description="The ‘Bullet-Proof Gentleman’s Pocket Square’ is made from military grade Kevlar Arimid, (in lemon), and is designed to add bit of extra protection around the heart as well as a dash of color to the dangerous living gentleman’s suit pocket.

In high school he upgraded to a 286 PC, and he's been following Moore's law ever since. This love of technology continued through a number of university courses and crappy jobs until 2008, when his interests found a home at Gizmag.   <a
