Lock-on clothes

A while back, “slave” sent this picture of boots that are locked on with zip ties:

Dear Metal,

I really like your site, thanks for all your work on it.

30 hole boots, 60 zip ties pulled tight with pliers: If the chain locked to slave’s heavy metal collar is not long enough to allow slave to access any cutting tools, etc., then slave cannot remove his boots.

Nice idea, slave!

 

Speaking of lock-on clothes, a while back Mark sent this image of some cool leather gloves, which are apparently used at the rodeo:

However instead of leather laces to tie them up, perhaps they could be secured with padlocks to make for an un-removable leather gloved experience. It would be interesting to take a prisoner out to a leather bar with these locked on.

 

Does anyone else have any ideas for lock-on clothes?
