Butcher bra? Why stop there?
The question we get asked the most — well, not the most, but enough that we should remark upon it — is, “Where can I get a butcher bra?”
Now we don’t judge. You can wear whatever strikes your fancy under your clothes. Perhaps you are a masochistic version of Ed Wood, who, played by Johnny Depp, loudly proclaimed, “I like to wear women’s clothes! Panties! Brassieres! Sweaters! Pumps!” and you are just itching (no pun intended) to get yourself a chain mail bra. And like the industrious Mr. Wood, why stop there?
Yes, chain mail panties are within your reach, big guy. And practical, too. In the Atlantic story where he introduced the tantalizing specter of the butcher bra, Tom Mylan also warned of the danger of genital mutilation being a job hazard.
They are a couple of ways you can go about this. You might want to make your own garb, for, you know, the sakes of privacy and propriety. There are some pretty thorough tutorials on how to make and assemble pieces of chain mail, but exactly how to turn them into lingerie is up to you. But be creative. Since the untimely passing of Alexander McQueen the fashion world is hungry for fresh talent.
However, you need not do it yourself. As we mentioned previously, German supplier of butcher equipment Stahlnetz makes about every article of clothing out of “chainmesh” you can imagine, and what they don’t have (aforementioned panties and brassieres) they are only too happy to custom make. (Just as the Stahlnetz man seems only too happy to demonstrate how his glove will work.)
Take it from the Stahlnetz man, and be “safe and comfortable from head-to-toe.”
