Quoting a letter written by Crosman

"..a major change occurred. On 1 August 1862 the Military Storekeeper at the depot sent a letter to Colonel George H. Crosman, in command of the entire Philadelphia operation. In the letter he suggested the use of one inch wide cotton webbing for canteen straps, and enclosed a sample which has remained with the letter.13 The sample is a herringbone twill weave web, nearly identical to "engineer tape" in use today, although a bit heavier. This type of web had been used prior to the War to tie the doors on Sibley tents."
