1. Has there been any information on how much more per yard dragon silk would cost the customer compared to traditional silk? Also, are the feel and look of dragon silk fabric as nice as that of traditional silk?

Can only assume it feels like silk. There is no reason it wouldn't that I can fathom. MS was said to be smoother than silk but IMO that could just be in the minds of those that touch it. Maybe an expert could feel the difference but I doubt we would be able to tell.

2. How great is the need for a stronger silk in some of these industries. The need for better protective outerwear/defense products is pretty clear , but how much do the other industries need something better than traditional silk and would it be cost effective for them? For example, why make a dress or sports jersey that never wears out if it means your sales are going to go down over time or that fashion trends would make a clothing item undesirable to wear long before it wears out?

You are restricting yourself too much.
I do not see a big call for DS ties to replace mundane silk ties.
And while tougher silk makes the shirt last longer I don't think quality has ever lost sales.
You sell 2 silk shirts for $50 each or 1 DS shirt for $100.
If it lasts twice as long sales are the same.

But restricting yourself to silk to silk replacement is your blind spot.
What about silk replacing nylon or cotton?

but how much do the other industries need something better than traditional silk and would it be cost effective for them?

For instance... How bad does the steel industry need cables that are stronger and 100 times lighter? Or boating industry need unbreakable fiberglass?

This wont happen for quite a few years but given the time to infiltrate the other industries and I think you will find that our silk isn't really designed to replace silk. Its meant to replace many other materials that have never been silk.
