ABSTRACT:
A stretchable strap includes a side containing regions woven with frictionally enhancing material. Warp threads of both frictionally enhancing and non-frictionally enhancing material are woven to form a two-layer strap. Internal elastomeric threads provide a connection between the two layers as well as allow the strap to stretch. A method of making the strap is also provided wherein all elements are simultaneously woven on a loom.
