Parachute Cord History

Parachute cord is a product of the Second World War, created during a shortage of silk after the attack on Pearl Harbor. Nylon was invented a few years before, and due to its strong, lightweight, and consistent synthetic material, it was the perfect replacement for silk, resulting in the creation of parachute cord, aka paracord.

Due to its high tensile strength, soldiers and sailors found many uses for paracord other than shroud lines, and it became a staple utility item for all branches of the military. As a modern “trench art,” paracord is tied into various useful items and accessories. The most common items are bracelets, given as gifts or sent home to loved ones.

Civilians wear these gift bracelets to show support for their friends and family in the military. The popularity of these bracelets encouraged the development of versions of paracord in many bright colours, combinations, and sizes.
