torn fabric

Ripped textile material

Torn fabric is cloth that has been ripped or damaged, creating a hole or ragged edge.

The phrase appears in contexts ranging from clothing repair to upholstery assessment: The torn fabric on the couch revealed the stuffing beneath.

It can describe accidental damage, deliberate distressing for fashion, or the result of wear and age.
