History
Founded in 1952 as Eastern Canvas Products, the company initially manufactured durable gear for the United States military. In 1976, it transitioned to the consumer market, introducing the iconic Padded Pak'r backpack. The brand was the first to utilize Cordura fabric for consumer bags and pioneered the use of vibrant prints in luggage. This shift integrated military-grade construction into mainstream youth culture, establishing the backpack as a staple of urban fashion history.
