Abstract
A multi-ply woven fabric article as disclosed has opposite woven face plies and a pair of woven rib plies which extend alternately between and are interwoven with the face plies. The rib plies which are interwoven with each other at the regions of interweaving with the face plies form parallel pairs of ribs extending between the opposite face plies in zig zag fashion and defining generally planar pockets therebetween. The pockets so formed are capable of readily receiving generally planar stiffening elements to provide a woven fabric article of substantial compressive strength.
