Knox Urbane armoured shirt

I wear jackets that fit me, but in-built armour is still regularly loose and out of position. Armoured shirts hold the protective bits tightly in place, so they stay there in moments of extreme G-force and severe impact. The only problem with Knox’s shirt is a tendency for the stitching to unravel. I’ve fixed mine with needle and thread. Twice.
