You will probably still feel something, as 10 - 100 kv next to you will probably make quite a bit of current go through the wire, and will generate some kind of magnetic field. A chain mail shirt will also make you impervious to taser fire, unless they tase your junk or something.

It's a little more complicated than a tshirt, but it offers much more protection. The patent pending garment is overkill, relying on three different systems to defend against taser attacks. A simpler design would be nothing more than a conductive mesh that covers any vulnerable spot on the body. It's very simple: electricity follows the path of least resistance. For a person wearing a tshirt, the path of least resistance is the nervous system. If, however, you are wearing a thin wire mesh shirt, the path of least resistance is from one probe through the metal mesh direct to the other probe. Look up Faraday Cage. The principle is identical. So, if you want to make your own, go to the hardware store and look for aluminum window screen material. It's cheap. Next, line your clothing with this material. I recommend coveralls or a flight suit so it's difficult to get to your skin when they realize that it's not working. Actually, it’s pretty easy to defeat a tazer or stun gun.
