Vile!
They keep on telling us that the likes of India is the dynamic future. Clearly, they haven't been there and all the other favoured off-shoring shit holes they adore.
It's Asia's answer to Mr T.
'An embellishment to my reputation as a complete clown' Mr Phuge said to sniggering reporters.
Never forget the joys of Mumbai: London and Paris real estate prices with all the joys of a third world infrastructure; a dystopian nightmare that actually exists.
I think that's awesome. It takes bling to a whole new level. Plus the craftsmanship is incredible.
Rappas can suck it!

its not £14,000 .. the daily mail halfwits misunderstood what an indian 'lakh' is .. the shirt cost £140,000 (makes sense as just an once is ~$1650). still with global currency debasement by the worlds central banks .. this might turn out to be a great trade as that gold isnt going anywhere .. prob a damn sight more prudent than T&A rtw shirts these days

i used to trade a lot of indian stock back in my trading days .. so became familiar with various indian units of measurement .. these tabloid fuckwits are such plonkers .. & most the british public read this rubbish!
a crore = 10m
lakh = 100,000
this geezer could be onto a winner .. i might buy some more gold for my own account looking at this .. with uncle benny manning the printing presses & now the japanese wanting to get back into action got to pay for all this clothing malarky somehow!

lt is high craftsmanship, but it still looks like an unironed short sleeve shirt. ln other words, vile!
Probably quite a heavy item....one thing is rather interesting though, I got a chuckle out of the shirt and felt sorry that someone would feel the need to make one...
Filmnoirbuff rather seems all too merry in ridiculing it--I suppose it confirms his "good taste". His immaculate old fashioned top down taste that all the other people at the banquet are starving for
