• Synonym織布しょくふNeutralMachine-woven cloth, common in the textile industry and often set against 「不織布」; close to 「織物」 in its fabric sense, but does not refer to the act of weaving itself.
• Synonym反物たんものNeutralA bolt of kimono cloth, as in 「反物を仕立てる」 — one tan, enough for a single adult kimono; 「織物」 carries no idea of a size unit.
• Synonym織りおりNeutralWeaving, the way cloth is woven, or a woven item, as in 「手織り」; often a suffix for place or technique, as in 「西陣織」. 「織物」 directly means the woven cloth.
• SynonymテキスタイルNeutralLoanword for textiles and fabrics, common in the fashion and design worlds, as in 「テキスタイルデザイン」; 「織物」 stresses cloth made by interlacing warp and weft.
• SynonymファブリックNeutralLoanword for fabric or material, as in 「ファブリックソファ」, used mostly for home furnishings and interiors; 「織物」 stresses the woven nature and can also mean weaving itself.
• Synonym布帛ふはくWrittenWritten/formal word for cotton cloth and silk, also fabrics in general, as in 「布帛類」; seen in classical texts and statistical categories. In daily speech say 「布」 or 「織物」.
• Related布地ぬのじNeutralUsually read 「ぬのじ」: cloth for making clothes, as in 「厚手の布地」; when read 「きれじ」 it is merely a variant of 「切れ地」. 「織物」 stresses cloth woven from thread.
• Related服地ふくじNeutralCloth for making Western-style clothes, as in 「ウールの服地」 — named for its use; 「織物」 is not limited to clothing and can also mean the weaving itself.
• Related呉服ごふくNeutralKimono fabric, and by extension finished kimono; once a general term for textiles, as in 「呉服屋」. 「織物」 is not restricted to kimono use.
• Related切れ地きれじNeutralCovers fabric and its texture, plus scraps like 「着物の切れ地」; even full-width garment fabric can be called this. 「織物」 is the finished woven product, not scraps.
• Related織り地おりじNeutralThe surface texture created by the weave, as in 「織り地が細かい」, or the woven cloth itself; 「織物」 points to the finished product, not the texture.
• Antonym不織布ふしょくふNeutralCloth made without weaving, by bonding or fusing fibers, as in 「不織布マスク」; the opposite of 「織物」 in how the cloth is made.

Use 「織物」 for cloth woven from warp and weft threads. For textile design say 「テキスタイル」, for home furnishing fabrics 「ファブリック」, for Western clothing material 「服地」, and for kimono fabric 「呉服」 or 「反物」. Cloth not made by weaving is 「不織布」.
