The suit with built-in AIR CONDITIONING: £1.9m waterproof garment is also covered in 880 diamonds and bulletproof

It might sound like something straight out of a James Bond film, but this diamond-encrusted, bulletproof suit could be yours - if you have a spare $3.2 million (£1.9 million).
Covered with more than 880 gems, the Diamond Armor suit repels both bullets and stains and even has built-in air conditioning to keep the wearer cool in hot climates, and temperature-raising situations.
Its makers, Zurich-based SuitArt describe the garment as the 'world's most expensive men's dress suit'.
