The present application relates to a two-layer fabric and an article including the same.

A woven warp-knit-like fabric, includes a first warp yarn, a second warp yarn, a third warp yarn, and a weft yarn; the first warp yarn is interwoven with the weft yarn to form a surface layer of a fabric, the second warp yarn is interwoven with the weft yarn to form a middle layer of the fabric, and the third yarn is interwoven with the weft yarn to form an inner layer of the fabric; at least three weft weave points are provided between two adjacent groups of warp weave points on the third warp yarn; the first warp yarn is a non-elastic yarn, the third warp yarn is an elastic yarn or a non-elastic yarn, and elastic properties of the second warp yarn are greater than those of the first warp yarn and the third warp yarn.

There is provided a woven fabric that can suppress a thickness reduction due to abrasion even under high-load and high-speed sliding conditions, has an excellent tribological property when used as a sliding material, hardly causes play between members, and can be used by being bonded to the base material; and also provided a woven fabric and a sliding material in which at least one of warp yarns and weft yarns includes doubled and twisted yarns of fluororesin fibers and para-aramid fibers, and the roughness on at least one surface where the doubled and twisted yarns are exposed is 1150 m or less.
