Textiles have an assortment of uses, the most common of which are for clothing and containers such as bags and baskets.
Textiles are made in various strengths and degrees of durability, from the finest gossamer to the sturdiest canvas.
Textiles are sometimes finished by starching, which makes the fabric stiff and less prone to wrinkles, or by waterproofing, which makes the fabric slick and impervious to water or other liquids.

The production of textiles is an indoseving craft, whose speed and scale of production has been altered almost beyond recognition by industrialization and the introduction of modern manufacturing techniques.

Contrarily, the main emphasis of the Jain and Buddhist texts is on textiles, cotton in particular, and related activities — tailoring, printing and dying, as also spinning and weaving, though fur garments also figure in some of the Jain and Buddhist texts and monks were allowed to have a strips of deer-skins.
These texts are quite elaborate in their details of various textiles — vastra or vasana made from kauseya, a silk produced from cocoon, not silk-worms; linen made from flax; dhanga, another class of linen made from hemp plant; karpasa, cotton; and, wool obtained mainly from sheep and goats.

Geotextiles, or more generally geosynthetics, are flexible textiles or polymeric sheets that are applied either to the soil surface or between materials to provide filtration, separation, reinforcement/stabilization or drainage properties in civil engineering applications.
The global production of textiles used in geotextile, construction and other civil engineering applications is around 1.38 million tons per year — 12.6% of total technical textile consumption — and valued at US$5.25 billion.
Further, the terminology and testing methods between the textile and civil engineering/construction industries were, at the time, very different.
