Italian term
tessuto a trecce
Italian to English
Other
Textiles / Clothing / Fashion
textile production
The context is a book on men's tailoring, and this term appears in a list of fabric types:
"tessuti sono dei prodotti che si ricavano partendo dalle fibre ed eseguendo diversi tipi di lavorazioni. In particolare si ricavano da filati, dai quali si possono ottenere tessuti ortogonali, tessuti a maglia, trecce, tessuti traforati."
I have asked the client what they mean by "trecce" and they definitely are NOT referring to a cable knit. They have specified "la treccia è proprio un insieme di fili intrecciati. La differenza è nella treccia i filati sono intrecciati diagonalmente, mentre il tessuto ortogonale ha i fili intrecciati in modo perpendicolare."
There is an image of this supposed "tessuto a trecce", but it's just a plain weave rotated 90 degrees. I would have said they meant twill (diagonal weave) but the image provided isn't that it all. Any ideas?

interlock knitted fabric
Mi sarei aspettata di trovare "tessuto interlock" nel testo italiano per tradurlo così, ma forse il cliente si è espresso diversamente. Non so se faccia al Tuo caso, dovrei avere la fotografia di cui parli. Semmai puoi vedere esempi di interlock knit online...

I just saw the image you have now provided. How is this not simply a braid?

Note from asker:
| Grazie ma e' un tessuto con trama e ordito non una maglia, dunque non puo' essere interlock. Ho trovato skew-woven che forse e' la terminologia piu' adatta. |

: You haven't given any references, but I think that's "maglia intrecciata".

My reference is thge Bekleidungs-Worterbuch in 5 languages, however there is no entry for "tessuto a treccia". I am assuming her client is using loose terms and trying to make an inference.

By the way, I understand it to read "trecce", not " tessuto a trecce". Also, I belueve tessuto means any fabric, not necessarily woven on a loom.

I don't want to post an answer because this is a duplicated question. There's no point adding yet another entry to the glossary.

Note from asker:
| Thanks but none of those references are the type of material the author is referring to. AFAIK you can braid yarn together but the result is a braid (and indeed one of your references says "tubular"), not flat fabric. A weave by definition has to have a warp and a weft, while a braid is three or more strands braided together, not necessarily on a weaving loom. |
| Alright, the responses here have convinced me it's just a braid. Do you want to add an answer so I can select it? |
| This is actually a note to dandamesh: that image you linked to is NOT fabric. It's sewing thread that's packaged as a braid! You are meant to remove each individual thread and use it to sew with. |
