A breathable and waterproof cloth includes a base material, an electrospinning film, and a meltblown adhesive film. The electrospinning film is disposed on the base material and includes a plurality of nanofibers, and an average fiber fineness of the nanofibers ranges from 100 nm to 800 nm. The meltblown adhesive film is disposed between the base material and the electrospinning film. The meltblown adhesive film includes a plurality of meltblown fibers, and an average fiber fineness of the meltblown fibers ranges from 800 nm to 20 ?m.

Aspects herein are directed to a composite nonwoven textile having at least a first entangled web of fibers, a second entangled web of fibers, and an elastomeric layer positioned between the first and second entangled webs of fibers. The composite nonwoven textile includes different features including one or more debossed portions and one or more pleated constructions.

Aspects herein are directed to a recyclable, asymmetrical-faced composite nonwoven textile suitable for use in apparel and other articles and methods of making the same. In example aspects, the asymmetrical-faced composite nonwoven textile includes a first face formed, at least in part from a first entangled web of fibers and an opposite second face formed, at least in part from a second entangled web of fibers. When incorporated into an article of apparel, the first face forms an outer-facing surface of the article of apparel, and the second face forms an inner-facing surface of the article of apparel. The first face includes features making it suitable to form the outer-facing surface such as resistance to abrasion, and the second face includes features making it suitable to form an inner-facing surface such as a soft hand.
