In the rougher parts of PHOQUESTONE it is de rigueur to wear one of Huntsman's "bulletproof tweeds".

Phoquestone is full of football obsessed tossers and single mums..

Wearing tweed over here is the equivalent of sartorial suicide.

This guy has been around a while. His stuff is popular with people in the executive protection biz. It sure beats the Hell out of a wearing a vest.

Accessorize with one of these hankies.

I spent most of last summer in Bogota and heard about this guy. Although he started out responding to the demand during the height of the narco-terror days and had a thriving business throughout SA, he does hardly anything locally anymore -- it's all international, most of it seemingly in the Middle East.

Given that the drug operations and the FARC guys have been pushed out into the jungle these days, his move to foreign markets makes sense. Security (mostly private) is a booming business in Colombia -- you should have seen the look on my face the first time I arrived at my apartment building and was greeted by three armed guards and a bomb-sniffing dog!

Yet despite the overwhelming presence of guns and checkpoints wherever you went, the Colombians are a highly mannered people and I can honestly say that my best day with the TSA's finest was more aggravating than anything I experienced down there.

Although much has changed, my impression was that most people still think it is like it was in the 90s and stay away -- I got around a fair amount and didn't see any tourists.
