Working on it. Like really.

Sure. It's no secret that there are knifeproof (already used that) and bulletproof textiles. But as far as I know, there is nothing to date that is as lightweight as a t-shirt. Artificial Spidersilk looks promising, though

Yes, but we don't want to make people more lethal.

Except for Ninjas. We would sell to Ninjas.

It so happened, that I recently talked to a friend who worked for a company creating kevlar vests. As far as I understood, it is, in fact not absorbing the energy (remember the energy conservation law) but deflecting it over the whole surface of the vest instead of a punctual hit. But I'm sure there are people here who can explain this much better.

Hi there and thank you for your question. We've just come back from Switzeland from our tech partner where they are working on making the fabric durable. It currently is reflecting 50% less light than any other high quality fabrics they tested it against. I hope this answers your questions.
