• Synonym服地ふくじNeutralCloth for making Western-style clothes; contrasts with 「反物」, which is for kimono.
• Synonym呉服ごふくNeutralKimono fabric, and by extension textiles in general; very close to 「反物」 in use.
• Synonym切れ地きれじNeutralCloth for sewing, or fabric scraps; unlike 「反物」 it is not restricted to the one-kimono bolt format.
• SynonymテキスタイルWrittenLoanword for textiles, at home in written or formal prose; leans toward fabrics for design, with a fashion-and-design feel.
• Synonym織り地おりじNeutralThe texture a weave gives a fabric's surface, and also the woven cloth itself; the focus is on feel and weave, not on a kimono-sized bolt like 「反物」.
• SynonymファブリックCasualColloquial loanword for fabric; leans toward home-furnishing textiles and feels more modern than 「反物」.
• Synonym布帛ふはくWrittenA written, old-fashioned term grouping cotton cloth and silk fabrics together.
• Related幅はばNeutralWidth; the width of a bolt of cloth is also called 「幅」. Unlike 「反物」, it refers to the measurement, not the whole roll.

Use 「反物」 for a bolt of cloth that dresses one adult kimono, as in 「反物を仕立てる」. For kimono fabric say 「呉服」; for cloth in general say 「生地」 or 「布地」; for Western-style clothing material say 「服地」.
