I guarantee that militaries the world around are always working on thinner, lighter, and stronger materials, yes.
But just regular suit-like material? No. Especially not for multiple hits from a rifle. Even if it did completely protect from penetration, you still experience the kinetic force, which is going to feel like getting kicked in the chest. You’re going to have a terribly sore bruise, if not broken ribs.
There are relatively thin and light materials (see the link in the other comment) but they’re only going to protect from small/medium pistol rounds, and they’re not always trustworthy after the first hit (though level IIIA will generally handle it).
To an extent, yes but they’re expensive. They also can’t stop bigger bullets, and for that matter they aren’t great at the smaller bullets.
Oh yes, spider silk for example is technically doable, but any of these won’t stop you from also almost certainly from dying too at even somewhat semi close range.
For example, certain tailors specialize in sale of woven Kevlar for suits and overcoats for execs doing business in certain areas of questionable security. Those clothes are however mostly only good for 9mm spray ricochet and shrapnel. For the most part you’re going to want to have a proper flak n plate if you want to have a greater likelihood of living lol.

Hacksmith did make one. They’ve got a video on YouTube about it and the making of.
Yes, Obama had them during his Presidency. Made by a South American tailor IIRC.
