reinforced fabric

Toughened woven material

Reinforced fabric is textile material strengthened by additional fibers, coatings, or structural elements to improve durability, tear resistance, or load-bearing capacity.

The reinforcement might be woven threads, embedded mesh, or laminated layers: reinforced fabric for outdoor gear, carbon-fiber reinforced fabric.

Common in luggage, workwear, and industrial applications where ordinary cloth would fail.
