Abstract: An improved strap for linking ammunition and similar article carrier tubes in which the strap includes two warps which alternately form the top and bottom layers of a double fabric so as to form successive connected loops or pockets of a predictable pitch and/or length dimension and wherein a separate weft or woff filler material is interwoven to bind the warp materials with such weft being less dense in the area adjacent the crossover points between the warp layers so that the two warps can be expanded or moved longitudinally relative to one another adjacent spaced intersections of the loops so as to permit a limited enlargement of the spaced loops.
