I saw something about this a couple years ago. Hemp rope really is some tough stuff, so at the time that might have been similar strength of armor as covering yourself with chainmail, all before kevlar was invented (I think)..

Useful, yes. Practical, not really. Gotta give them an A for effort though, at least they were trying. 👍
