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?
Two suggestions;
1. The old humane restraint locking belt used around the waist to keep jeans locked on.
2. Eyelets placed in the leather at the top of the zipper in a leather jacket. Pass a padlock through the eyelets and the zipper. Lock a warm leather jacket on over warm layers of clothing when taking a prisoner out to the bars. Watch him sweat.
The late Jim Stewarts’ website has a whole section devoted to locked on clothing: http://www.houdini-connections.co.uk/4-info/Topics/lock-on%20clothes.htm . There are some great ideas presented there.
I was once taken out with my hands cuffed into pockets, and that was definitely a memorable experience!
