Shirt made of gold

A 32-year-old Indian businessman from Mumbai, India's largest city, ordered a luxurious shirt made of pure gold for $250,000.

What does a gold shirt look like?

The rich businessman's shirt features a gold collar, cuffs and six buttons, each adorned with Swarovski rhinestones. The basis of this shirt is white corduroy. Small gold plates are sewn on top of the soft material. The base is made to protect the skin from metal damage.

The idea for the original piece of clothing belongs to jeweler Tejpal Rank: “The idea for a shirt with gold weaving arose after I looked at the military attire of ancient rulers - such chain mail was worn by kings before battles.”

The golden robe consists of more than just a shirt. The set includes a gold belt with Swarovski crystals, large precious metal bracelets and a set of rings that can be worn on all fingers. But the large weaving chains that a businessman usually wears with such a shirt were made a little earlier.The Indian gave them to himself for his birthday.

How much gold did it take to make

The shirt was “sewn” according to an individual design. To make this unique shirt, 15 jewelers were involved, who worked all day for 14 days. It took 3,380 man-hours to manufacture.

But the overall weight of the shirt made is simply impressive. To make it, it took 3.2 kg of pure gold.

To realize this idea, the jewelers coated a specially made white corduroy shirt with gold.

This product even had a chest pocket sewn onto it. In general, in appearance, this is just a summer shirt with short sleeves.

Reference! The Indian businessman commented on his original order: “I’m not a very attractive man, but most likely no woman can resist this shirt. A shirt made of pure gold has long been my main dream, and now that I have fulfilled my dream, it will be proof of my reputation before my friends and business partners.”

Who is the owner of the golden shirt?

Indian businessman Datta Fuge decided to get rich, in the truest sense of the word. An Indian ordered a shirt worth 250 thousand dollars.

The financier told reporters from a local newspaper that he decided to get into the Guinness Book at the same time as the expensive clothing. According to a rich Indian, he has a great passion for jewelry made of expensive metal and has never before appeared in society without wearing more than 2-3 kilograms of jewelry on his neck and hands. Now the rich man notes that he will begin to appear in public places only surrounded by his bodyguards.

“When you put on something as expensive as a gold shirt, you need to be constantly alert and very careful.”

A wealthy financier is respected in India.He became famous not only as a great lover of expensive metal, but also through charity. Every year he pays for more than 150 complex operations for children who suffer from polio.

But as it became known in July 2016, Datta Fuge was killed. Four people were detained on suspicion of committing criminal acts. The fight probably happened over money.

According to the police, one of the suspects invited Datta and his eldest son to his birthday party, which took place in the town of Pune (160 km east of Mumbai).

When the businessman and his son arrived at the indicated location, they were attacked by several people armed with stones and knives. The police said that the son witnessed the murder of his father, and the criminals released him.
