This was what I was remembering. Armed-robber Ned Kelly designed bulletproof armor like this for himself and his outlaw gang, in the later days of a sort of war they engaged in, during the 1870s, with the Australian police. Apparently, they used plow-moldboard steel as the raw material, which they heated in a forge and beat into the needed shapes.

Did the armor work?

Up to a point... wasn't a total failure. I believe one member of the gang was killed when a bullet strayed through some cranny or another.
