cloth tape

Woven adhesive band

Cloth tape is adhesive tape with a fabric backing rather than plastic or paper, valued for its strength, flexibility, and ability to be torn by hand.

It's commonly used for repairs, binding, and applications where durability matters: I wrapped the handle in cloth tape for a better grip.

Cloth tape also refers to flexible measuring tapes made of fabric, used by tailors and seamstresses: She pulled out a cloth tape to take his measurements.
