An Indian textile magnate who made a fortune from his clothing empire is making sure the rest of the world knows about his success by having a shirt made out of pure gold.Although he left school without any qualifications Pankaj Parakh created a multi-million pound textile business in India.And now, to celebrate his upcoming 45th birthday on Friday, he has commissioned the solid gold shirt that weighs more than four kilos.

He said: 'I wanted to wear something special when I say my thanks for my success at a thanksgiving visit to the Siddhivinayak Temple of the Hindu elephant god in Mumbai.'And after paying just £127,000 to buy the gold and have it turned into a golden shirt, he thinks he got a good deal. 
According to local media the gold shirt has really got him noticed as he marched along the streets of his home in Yeola, 260 km from the city of Mumbai.He says he gets both admiring looks from women and envious looks from men.He said: 'I never go out with less than two to three kilos of gold jewellery.

The shirt that has seven solid gold buttons is due to be officially modelled by the clothing magnate on Friday, but he tried it on in advance after collecting it from the Shanti Jewellers at Parel in Mumbai, where a team of around 20 craftsmen collectively spent 3,200 hours over the past two months to 'stitch' it together.Despite being made of gold the shirt has been so carefully made that it is as flexible as a normal shirt, he claims, and also just as comfortable because there is a thin cloth lining the inside.
