A fabric for a pair of jeans is disclosed. The fabric has a plurality of warp threads and a plurality of weft threads. The plurality of warp threads include a jeans warp thread, such as cotton, disposed next to an insulating warp thread, such as wool, in a repeating series. The plurality of weft threads include a plurality of jeans weft threads disposed next to one another in a repeating series. The plurality of warp threads and weft threads are perpendicularly interwoven in a twill weave defining a front side opposite a back side. From the front side of the fabric, each jeans warp thread is woven over three jeans weft threads and under one jeans weft thread in a repeating series. From the front side of the fabric, each insulating warp thread is woven under three jeans weft threads and over one jeans weft thread in a repeating series.

A woven fiber reinforcement material and method of making includes a plurality of fiber bundles extending generally parallel to one another in a longitudinal direction and spaced laterally from one another by at least 1/32 of an inch. The fiber bundles are selected from non-elastic fibers. A first transverse thread extends in a continuous serpentine pattern on a first side of the plurality of fiber bundles. A second transverse thread extends in a continuous serpentine pattern on a second side of the plurality of fiber bundles and a pair of connecting threads diagonally cross the first and second transverse threads and secure the first and second transverse threads to the fiber bundles at a plurality of longitudinally spaced locations.

It is an object to provide a woven fabric which can stably form a folding shape superior in shape retention and followability and which can be sewn while maintaining the folding structure, and also to provide a method for manufacturing the same. There is provided a woven fabric having pleats, wherein the height of the pleats is 2 to 10 times the average diameter of yarns arranged in the same direction as the pleats.

A woven material including a four layer construction formed by distinct groups of warp threads, and a method of forming the woven material. The woven material may include a first group of warp threads, and an interior weft thread portion coupled to the first group of warp threads. The woven material may also include a second group of warp threads substantially surrounding the first group of warp threads and the interior weft thread portion, and an exterior weft thread portion coupled to the second group of warp threads.

An article of footwear includes a sole and an upper. The upper includes a leno woven fabric having a continuous leno weave pattern of a plurality of warp yarns extending in a longitudinal direction and a plurality of weft yarns extending in a transverse direction. The leno woven fabric includes zones having different stretch characteristics.

The woven textile has a first end and an opposite second end. A longitudinal direction is defined by the first end and the second end. The woven textile includes an upper layer, a lower layer, and at least one binding thread. The upper layer includes at least one first braid woven by a plurality of filaments and extending in a meandering way to form a plurality of hollow portions. The lower layer includes at least one second braid woven by a plurality of filaments and extending in a meandering way to form a plurality of hollow portions. The binding thread fixes the first braid and the second braid together by weaving so that the upper layer and the lower layer are positioned by the binding thread.
