You can make decent armor from multiple layers of linen glued together. And multiple layers of silk (done in some manner I don't have the details for) work well against arrows.
Had a DM once who set up a side campaign where we were "us". Essentially transported to the fantasy world with our knowledge and skills intact. Bodies got a bit of a boost to get us up to "average" an areas we were particularly weak.
The results were a bit scary as some of us had retained *way* to much science/engineering know-how.
I figured out how to make calcium carbide and got rich selling explosion proof lamps to miners.
We will draw a curtain over the nuclear reactor plans... :-)
