A polyester woven-fabric hook-and-loop fastener has a warp yarn thickness Tb which is 0.94 times or less of a warp yarn thickness Ts. A selvage area having a constant width is present on two opposite ends, continuously in a line form in the warp direction, without misalignment in the weft direction. As a result, when the polyester woven-fabric hook-and-loop fastener is sewn onto a garment or the like, a sewing thread sewn to the selvage area is in a straight line without meandering, and thus a sewn product excellent in appearance can be obtained.

An article of footwear may include one or more of the following: a knitted component, the knitted component including a plurality of courses; and at least one inlaid strand, where the at least one inlaid strand is inlaid within at least one course of the plurality of courses, and where the at least one inlaid strand includes an exposed portion, the exposed portion at least partially extending through a throat area of the article of footwear when the article of footwear is in a wearable state.

An article of footwear includes a textile component forming at least a portion of an upper. The textile component includes a first textile layer and a second textile layer that are separable from one another to define a pocket between the layers. A cable is located at least partially within the pocket, and a plurality of cable guides are positioned within the pocket to contact and redirect the cable. Each cable guide includes a curved surface for contacting the cable, and the cable extends around the curved surfaces such that the cable changes direction within the pocket. In some embodiments, the pocket includes a tubular channel interconnecting the cable guides. The cable and cable guides are positioned proximate a perimeter edge of the textile component to provide a tensioning system that adjusts the fit of the upper without extending across a throat area of the footwear.
