What kind of cloth did Genghis Khan use in his armor?
score:17
Accepted answer
The Mongols wore silk underneath their armor. The benefit of using silk was that if a Mongol warrior was hit with an arrow the silk would not break and they could pull the arrow out by pulling on the silk on each side of the wound and the arrow would come out.
