Pankaj Parakh is an Indian textile magnate, who celebrated his 45th birthday this week by wearing a custom shirt made of 18 to 22 carat gold and going for a stroll in it. Though made of gold, the shirt is fully flexible and comfortable, absolutely smooth, can be washed and hung-dried, and if torn or damaged, can be repaired and modified with a lifetime guarantee of durability.

With the shirt and its seven gold buttons, Parakh hopes to enter the Guinness World Records and the Limca Book of Records.
