BH: Kim, it's easy to get lost in all the sexiness of all the potential future spider silk uses, but aren't the initial agreements going to cover mundane silk uses, like sports apparel or silk ties and suits?

KT: Well, that is what we initially thought when we saw this material for the first time, but, since that time, we have been talking with companies, including defense contractors, who have approached us about applications for Monster Silk. In some cases, the companies who are contacting us have been educating us about the potential of Monster Silk for their particular applications; applications that that company knows about because of their particular product line. So, in short, the market for Monster silk may be broader than we first realized when the product was developed in the laboratory.

No it's vastly superior to regular silk. It is being sought after for use in the technical market, thus it is a technical fiber. As has been stated, this is not going to be used for clothing for a while.
