Thank you for proving my point.  KBLB will not be selling spider silk, as the material you cite from their website makes clear.
KBLB introduced some sequences from spiders that strengthen silkworm proteins.  But the silkworms continue to produce fibroin proteins in a sericin cover.  That is a completely different protein structure than spidroin.
As I mentioned earlier, toughness is only one attribute of a material that consumers care about.  Washability is another.  Bam-1 Alpha will likely be a 'hand wash only' fabric.  That limits its value in clothing applications.
I appreciate your help in providing evidence from KBLB that buttresses my argument.
Much appreciated!
