STRENGTHS

• Apex of Comfort: Gildenweave is exceptionally soft, comfortably light, and modifiable to suit a wearer's taste in stretchiness, colouring, and even to some degree texture, making it a perfect choice for the rich and picky.
• Resilient: Despite its lightweight nature, the material is able to withstand blasters and kinetic weaponry reasonably well.

WEAKNESSES

• Energy Transference: While penetrating, tearing, or cutting Gildenweave is difficult indeed, the material does little to prevent the transference of kinetic energy - that vibroblade or slugthrower round might not go through, but it sure as hell will hurt.
• Exotic Weapons: Does literally nothing to stop lightsabers and the like, Gildenleaf's materials scientists aren't miracle workers.

DESCRIPTION
Developed in-house after a lengthy quarrel between Gildenleaf and its primary supplier of shell spider silk ended in litigation and the severance of all business links, Gildenweave quickly became the primary material used in most of the Zeltros-based company's higher-end clothing lines, its resistance to wear and tear ensuring that it sometimes made its way to the lower classes as well, usually in products meant to last a long time.

How exactly it is produced is strictly confidential, in theory anyway. In practice, Gildenleaf's relative lack of industrial facilities has forced it to rely heavily on external manufacturers, albeit ones bound by ironclad confidentiality agreements prescribing downright draconian penalties if breached.
