There are actually multiple people who warrant credit for the invention of the Kevlar bulletproof vest. The DuPont corporation developed Kevlar material. Richard Armellino marketed a Kevlar vest called the K-15 in 1975 and Richard Davis the first all Kevlar vest in 1976.

What is a bulletproof jacket made of?

A bullet proof jacket is made from several thin layers of a material known as kevlar ( Kevlar is a registered trade mark). Kevlar is a para-aramid synthetic fibre. Some vests also allow for metal plates to be inserted. While kevlar is light-weight, inserted metal plates make the vest heavier. Though if the vest stops a bullet, I doubt the wearer would mind how heavy the vest was.


Did bulletproof vest come from a aliens vest in the 60's?

No, Casimir Zeglen invented the first commercial vest in the late 1800s, made of silk. Kevlar was invented in the 60s, not used for vests till the 70s though. Now they are working on a new better type of armor called dragon skin. Tough stuff, but not alien as far as I know. If it was, then aliens must not be that advanced.
