nonstretch
Resists pulling force
Nonstretch describes fabric or material that doesn't stretch or give when pulled.
The term appears most often in clothing descriptions, distinguishing rigid fabrics from those with elastic properties: nonstretch denim, a nonstretch waistband.
The quality affects fit and comfort—nonstretch garments require more precise sizing.
