full metal jacket

The Times of London knows how to cover style. There's an article about a shiny silver jacket that is supposed to conduct away static electricity, making the wearer better able to concentrate.

This sentence most likely came straight from the marketing people, and it's enough to make a physicist cringe:
"The fabric of this jacket is made with 11 per cent steel, which creates a non-conductive outershell that neutralises static charges."

This came from the guy who tried it out:
"The pub was the scene where the jacket came into its own, as the improved bar presence a large hooded silver coat lends a man should not be underestimated."
