I agree, hwpaintballer! It's stronger, more durable, resists water damage and makes a great tinder. Clothing is also much more durable. Jute rots too fast for any kind of structural use and is a much weaker fiber.

Here is a good quick reference for types of fiber:

I use hemp like crazy, cheap and strong, I got a couple hundred feet of it in my PSK.
