How much do you really love your pet dog? Enough to buy it the world’s first 24K gold jacket encrusted with Swarovski crystals and black diamonds? It’s “only” $137,000 and it’s armored, meaning it will protect your pooch from bites and even knife slashes.

你有多愛你的寵物狗?愛到可以送它全球首款鑲有施華洛世奇水晶和黑鑽的24K黃金夾克嗎?這件夾克“僅售”13.7萬美元，而且可以像鎧甲一樣，保護你的狗狗不被咬傷或被刀劃傷。

The world’s most expensive dog jacket is the result of a collaboration between Doggy Armour and VeryFirstTo. The lavish canine garment is made of “Golden Textile” 24K gold Nano coated fabrics, which apparently “has the authentic values of gold itself and embraces 99.99% gold that is nano-structured”. Clients also have the option to have the jacket decorated with either 20 Swarovski crystals, or 20 black diamonds.

這件全球最昂貴的狗夾克是Doggy Armour和VeryFirstTo網站合作推出的，由24K黃金納米塗層織物製成，這種材料極其奢華，“具有黃金的真實價值，並含有純度爲99.99%的納米結構黃金”。買家還可以選擇在夾克上裝飾20顆施華洛世奇水晶或20顆黑鑽。

But if the “wow” factor of this lavish doggy jacket isn’t enough, maybe its protective features will convince you that this thing is worth the asking price of $137,000.

如果這件狗夾克的奢華材質還不足以讓你眼前一亮，那麼它的高保護性能或許能說服你，它絕對物有所值。

According to the VeryFirstTo website, the super-lightweight garment is enough to protect your pooch from bites or even knife wounds. Pure gold is not the toughest material in the world, but this nano-fabric is apparently 15 times tougher than steel and 8 times tougher than Kevlar.

據VeryFirstTo網站介紹，這件重量超輕的夾克可以保護你的狗不被咬傷，甚至可以防刀砍。雖然金子不是世界上最硬的材質，但據稱這種納米織物比鋼材堅硬15倍，比凱夫拉爾纖維堅硬8倍。

“Thanks to Doggy Armour your precious pooch will both be well protected and resplendent in glittering gold. You’ll never see a more golden Labrador, dashing Dachshund, cavalier King Charles Spaniel, or pompous Pomeranian,” VeryFirstTo founder Marcel Knobil said.

VeryFirstTo網站創始人馬塞爾?諾比爾表示：“多虧了Doggy Armor，這件耀眼的金夾克將讓你心愛的小狗得到更好的'保護，變得光彩奪目。沒有它，你永遠沒機會看到毛髮更加金光閃閃的拉布拉多，更時髦的臘腸，更有貴族範兒的查爾斯王犬，或是氣質更尊貴的博美。”

As you’d expect, the $137,000 price tag of this 24K gold dog jacket also includes a bespoke tailoring service to ensure a ‘best in show’ fit.

正如你所預料的那樣，爲了確保上身效果完美，這件售價13.7萬美元的24K黃金狗夾克提供量身定製服務。

So if you wanted to get your pooch something special and luxurious for its birthday, this jacket fits the bill.

所以如果你想在狗狗生日時送它一份別緻奢華的生日禮物，那這件外套剛剛適合。
