A Columbian fashion designer seems to think you should run (away) in style.... There's a fair bit of ignorant anti-gun sniping in the article too, but whadda ya expect for a New Yorker? |

Doesn't stop me from wanting one if I ever visit the US, however. |

There is a bunch of armoured clothing in RL already, from "underwear" (well, concealed carry vests) to armoured jackets and trenchcoats.

Silk was really popular at one time. Not because it would stop the bullet, but would be less likely to tear and leave clothing in the wound and fester.
Also, if you're lucky enough, you could pull at the shirt and, pop, out comes the arrow or bullet. |
