Building a JOHN WICK Bulletproof Suit

JOHN WICK: CHAPTER 4 is (rightfully) blowing up at the box office. An incredible achievement in aesthetics and action execution (not to mention assembly of badasses), the John Wick series has found incredible ways to constantly outdo itself.

One of those ways was introduced way back in JOHN WICK: CHAPTER 2 with the bulletproof suits that outfit the best assassins in the Wick Universe. In a legitimately unexpected move, Hacksmith Industries took the cool but seemingly impossible concept of a flexible suit made of bulletproof material and sought to turn it into a reality. It took almost a year and a painstaking methodology that blended form with function, but they (mostly) succeeded.

It’s a genuinely fascinating journey from idea to execution to endpoint that should be witnessed by all John Wick fans. If you like the video, consider subscribing to Hacksmith Industries’ YouTube channel and/or following them on Twitter.
