According to a tweet from a man named Kalu Aja, a West African hunters’ jacket has been listed for sale at an exorbitant price in the United States of America, Washington.
The jacket, which costs $4,500, has stunned netizens, while others have called it ridiculous.
Netizens have subsequently been astounded after learning the cost of the ‘hunters jacket,’ a garment that isn’t particularly valuable in Africa.
Many people consider this garment to be bulletproof or even spiritual armor that protects hunters in the woods.
However, the jacket appears to have amused many art fans on social media, who stated that given the protection it provides, it should cost more than $4,500.
Others, on the other hand, considered the jacket to be just a simple hunting jacket and did not see the need for it to be sold at such an exorbitant price.
