Dussault Apparel's Trashed Denim jeansIf you’re like me $20 – $40 on a pair of jeans is more than enough, heck I’d be happy in a $10 pair of shorts.

I can even understand a pair of Levi’s 501 jeans manufactured in the 1880s being purchased by a Japanese collector in 2005 for $60,000.

What I will never understand is the world’s most expensive jeans, so instead of writing some witty comments I’ll let the company’s press release speak for them, useful or useless, you decide:

RStuart Hughesichard Jewels of Manchester and Stuart Hughes of Liverpool got together, spent 600 hours and created a suite, but not just any suite, the world’s most expensive suite.

The suite is made from the finest silk and cashmere wool with 480 half carat diamonds outlining the suite.

If the world’s most expensive suite is exactly what you need to make yourself look good then you’d better hurry as only 3 are being made and one has already been sold, a size 41 long.

Don’t forget to bring along £599,000 or just under $900,000.00 USD, taxes extra, to pay for the suite. If you’re on the fence about buying one here’s a little nudge as you can do some good; 10% of each sale will go to the Haiti relief fund.

World's Most Expensive Polo Shirt

You may have thought that those polo shirts you see out on the golf course or even in your doctor’s office are expensive. But, if you want to be able to boast that you have the most expensive polo shirt out there, you’ll need to invest a great deal of money. But don’t worry, with these shirts, you won’t only be getting a great piece of fashion, you’ll also be getting an unrivaled personal security system.

The shirt is the Miguel Caballero Bulletproof Men’s Polo Shirt, and if you want one, it will set you back anywhere between $4,000 and $6,000. The shirt comes in blue, red, black, or white, and the secret of this shirt lies in its removable panels. There are three panels in total and they can be left empty, for when you’re sure you’re out of danger, or they can be stuffed with something that will keep you perfectly safe, no matter what kind of predicament you might find yourself in.

This stuffing is made from three grades of antiballistic protection, that is, protection that will save your life should you find yourself under fire. The antiballistic material has been proven to be so effective that the US Department of Justice has warranted that it will stand up to anything from a 9mm to an Uzi submachine or MP5 submachine gun. And, that’s only for the lower end selection. If you want to invest even more money for the highest level of protection that you can get, you can even find grades of these shirts that are stab-proof!

World's most expensive bustierFrom Wikipedia:

A bustier (alternately bustiere) is a form-fitting garment for women, which is traditionally worn as lingerie. Its primary purpose is to push up the bust by tightening against the upper midriff and forcing the breasts up, while gently shaping the waist. Nowadays, it might also be worn as a push-up bra under a low-backed dress, or as a camisole for outer wear. The bustier can also be worn as a half-slip under diaphanous upper garments if a bold display of the midriff is not desired.

A bustier resembles a basque, but is shorter. It reaches down only to the ribs or waist.

Modern bustiers are often made with mesh panels rather than the traditional boning.

Now, if your significant other actually has a practical use for a bustier then why would you not go out and buy one?

If you are someone that has way too much money and has no clue what to do with it then may we recommend the bustier that was created by Indian designer ORRA that is stuffed with…….diamonds and at a busty 1 million Euros or $1.3 million USD will bring out the bust best in your partner.
