'World's Most Expensive Men's Suit'

Hey, fellas -- want to look like a million bucks? Literally?

Then plan a bank heist so you can cough up the £599,000 (about $899,000) needed to buy what is being dubbed as the "world's most expensive men's suit."

Men's Wearhouse this ain't. Created by British designer Stuart Hughes in partnership with Richard Jewels, the "R. Jewels Diamond Edition" luxury bespoke suit is made of the finest cashmere wool, silk, and some 480 diamonds, Hughes tells StyleList.

According to Hughes -- who specializes in luxury goods including a platinum iPad -- the suit was originally commissioned by a French client before Hughes decided to make three more.

"The diamonds are placed along contours of the cut, making it a pretty cool design," Hughes explained to us.

"So we hit the middle line of 'subtle but dangerous.'"

And pricey! Still, considering the suit took 600 hours to create and boasts a whopping total of 240 carats, we dare say it might be worth it.

At least that's what we'll be telling our bank manager... Lol

Strength....

Knowing others is intelligence, knowing yourself is true wisdom. Mastering others is strength, mastering yourself is true power. It takes more courage to reveal insecurities than to hide them, more strength to relate to people than to dominate them, more 'manhood' to abide by thought-out principles rather than blind reflex. Toughness is in the soul and spirit, not in muscles and an immature mind. Failure will never overtake me if my determination to succeed and overcome is strong enough. The strongest man in the world is he who stands most alone. What does not destroy us, makes us stronger. Confront the dark parts of yourself, and work to banish them with illumination and forgiveness. Your willingness to wrestle with your demons will cause your angels to sing. Use the pain as fuel, as a reminder of your strength and always remember God will never hold back any thing good from us.

Have a bless day,

- Juan C.
