How to say "textile" in Japanese

• 織物おりものJLPT N1approx.Common
  nounThe closest match for 'textile' as a material or product: fabric discussed in the abstract, as in trade, manufacturing, or weaving contexts, rather than a particular piece of cloth.
  あの店みせには織物おりもの類るいが置おいてありますか。↗

  Does that store keep textile goods?
• 呉服ごふくCommon
  nounNot a general word for 'textile': it means cloth for Japanese clothing — kimono fabric — so use it only when that is specifically what you mean.
• 布ぬのJLPT N3approx.Common
  nounThe all-purpose word for cloth or fabric — what a piece of material is called in ordinary contexts. It can translate 'textile', but for textiles as a material or industry, 織物 is the more precise choice.
  この布ぬのは裂さけやすい。↗

  This cloth tears easily.

Use 織物 for textiles as materials or products, 布 for cloth or fabric in general contexts, and 呉服 only for cloth for Japanese clothes such as kimono fabric, not for textiles in general.
