Ancient \"Kevlar\"

[Dan Howard]

Layered textile armour has been used all over the world for thousands of years and there are plenty of surviving examples. In all of that time not a single one has ever been demonstrated to have been made using glue - without exception the layers on extant examples are quilted. In addition, nobody has ever produced a single document in all of that history that even mentions glued linen armour or any other kind of glued armour. It is certainly possible that glue was used given the experiments that demonstrate its effectiveness, but it is definitely not plausible given the available evidence.
