Abstract
A method for forming a textile strap including a textile matrix formed by stacking at least one first material layer atop at least one second material layer in alternating order. The at least one first material layer is bonded to the at least one second material layer in a manner to fix the at least one first material layer to the at least one second material layer. A plurality of apertures are cut into the formed textile matrix inward from an edge of the textile matrix, such that the textile matrix with defined apertures is predictably flexible in each of two directions. The textile matrix with defined apertures is sheathed in a stretch outer layer configured to substantially enclose the textile matrix with defined apertures. The stretch outer layer is bonded to the textile matrix.
