It is often said that money can't buy love.
But trying telling that to a wealthy Indian man who splashed out £14,000 on a solid gold shirt in the hope it will attract female attention.
Money-lender Datta Phuge 32, from Pimpri-Chinchwad, commissioned the shirt which took a team of 15 goldsmiths two weeks to make working 16 hours a day creating and weaving the gold threads.

Work of art: Money-lender Datta, 32, from Pimpri-Chinchwad, says the shirt took a team of 15 goldsmiths two weeks to make working 16 hours a day creating and weaving the gold threads
It comes 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.
The gaudy shirt was assembled on a fabric base of imported white velvet, and comes with six Swarovski crystal buttons and an intricate belt, also made of gold.

Surprisingly not as gaudy as I first thought. I've seen far worse in American hip-hop fashion.

He hasn't posted on here for about 2 weeks, I think he's on a business trip to india.

Where there is money, there are
girls cunts...

Either that article is completely retarded or drunk cause that shirt is over a half million dollars not 14 000 pounds
What they meant is he spend 14 000 pounds for the cost of making it only, the labour, not what he spent on the shirt which would be well over a half million dollar. I wonder how some of these retards have jobs as writers, what a dumb and misleading story

Pfft. BIG ACH laughs.

Works in India but not in The States.

'It will be an embellishment to my reputation as the ‘Gold man of Pimpri"' Mr Phuge said. :D

I hope for him, that thing can go into a washing machine.

Indian women are crazy up over gold jwelllery and use them to show their status in society.
More gold - higher status. Literally golddiggers
This guy probably did it to make headlines not get women though.
