I use Gutermann upholstery thread, which plays nicely with my elderly Singer 99K and a denim needle.
I've been using it on PVC, Cordura and nylon webbing straps with some minor variations in thread tension, and it also works with a Speedy Stitcher or hand sewing for the bits that are too many layers or too tight on space for my machine. Not yet tried cotton duck, but I would imagine that will be ok as well.
What you really need is a reply from someone who uses technology from this century ...
MrE-
I’ve just got a fairly standard Janome machine that’s almost 15 years old, so it’s good to know.
What’s the thread size?
And this do for a needle?

What thread do people use for making bags and straps?
