    I have only heard some old-fashioned sailors and marketing people call it Dacron, everybody else has settled on polyester

      You’ll hear Dacron in the aviation industry, to refer to “naked cloth” coverings like you see on ultralights, in contrast to something like poly-fiber which is the modern equivalent of cloth and dope.
