Now, Blackwater's line of tactical clothing and gear is a fashion statement.

It probably helps that the owner of the fashion establishment in question is a former GIGN officer.

rofl.......fashion=madness

Holy shit- they stole my idea! :( I'm not joking.

I wanted to start an Urban Warfare clothing fad in the US. I thought it would be hilarious and kinda hot if everyone was walking around looking like a guerrilla/terrorist or what have you.

Chicks dig crye multicam.

"thats pretty"

Anyone got the jist of it? I won't load a site that requires me to allow it to run any scripts it likes.

PARIS -- According to an account from a reader who recently visited Paris, the secretive Blackwater security firm and private armed force now has invaded the boutiques of fashion-conscious Paris.

The company is headquartered in the rural eastern part of the state in Moyock, North Carolina, and has been in the news in recent years since it has been hired as armed contractor in Iraq and even in the wake of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans.

With over 7000 acres at its disposal, their base includes some of the largest private weapons training facilities in the world and the firm boasts its own helicopter fleet as well.

Reader Surprised At Seeing Blackwater

Reader Hal Bringman, who runs the public relations agency HBPR, said he was surprised to see the Blackwater gear on sale amidst all of the other French fashions and boutiques in Paris.

So I guess pretty soon we will start seeing the appearance of high school cliches wearing Blackwater merchandise collectively called "Mercs" or "Mercenaries".

yet another reason why uniforms are better

The clothes were spotted in a security store in the Gallerie des Arcades/Boutiques in the heart of Paris, Bringman says.

Wow. Uniforms in a uniform store. Those crazy frenchies, what will they think of next!!!????!!!!!!:eek:

Yeah, and since when is a security store a "chic Paris boutique?"

This article is so stupid that I'm rendered speechless.

Anyone have any ideas on sub catagories?
Jihadi Terror collection, WWII Memories collection, Desert Trooper collection, Jungle Warfare collection...

How about "The Longest Day Beachwear" or maybe "The Sands of Iwo Jima Swimsuit Collection"?

Clothing has always been tactical, and strategic, too. You have a date, you look in the closet and think, "Well, if I deploy this blouse with two ... no, three buttons undone, and the lacy bra in reserve just behind it ... and these pants, yes, talk about shock and awe ..." :D

and now promoting sarkosy ant the french UN lead mission in Libanon,we will clean it.

I agree wholeheartedly

Sweet - they should start a stealth line inspired from such titles as Splinter Cell and Metal Gear Solid

Great ideas - I hope to see you participating in this military fashion phenomenon when it explodes onto the world.

Just think - if a world war breaks out - you can be one of the first to camolfauge yourself and hopefully avoid attack. Maybe even get a few kills in yourself.

I'd like to see a Ghost in the Shell line with working thermoptics.
