usually, an arrow could not pierce it
Whacky stuff!
Just occurs to me that the surcoats that soldiers used to wear over their armour may have been made of silk. That would actually make quite a bit of sense if the silk slowed down the arrow and protected the soldier should the armour be penetrated.
But it is just conjecture.
