Datta Phuge of Pimpri-Chinchwad, India, spent £14,000 on a solid gold shirt in the hope it will attract female attention. The shirt is woven through with 24-karat gold thread and complete with its own matching cuffs and a set of rings crafted from left-over gold.
‘I know I am not the best looking man in the world but surely no woman could fail to be dazzled by this shirt?’ he explained
‘The gold shirt has been one of my dreams,’ Mr Phuge told Indian newspaper the Pune Mirror.
‘It will be an embellishment to my reputation as the ‘Gold man of Pimpri”‘ Mr Phuge said.
