According to the Adam Ruins Everything tv show on the tv, (very funny show, recommended you watch) that John Smith made the first fabric, most likely to express that he wasn't lame. if you want to watch the video I'll leave a link below, be warned not for kiddy kiddos. Video does NOT belong to me, all credit to the show. I was just pointing out what I saw.
