JanSport used the canvas-like nylon in their original daypacks in the 1970s, and now exclusively uses polyester Cordura. [7] In the 1980s, 1000 denier (D) Cordura nylon was adopted for duffle bags. [8] During the 1990s, European workwear clothing brands adopted the 1000D and 500D fabric for reinforcements.
