Abstract: A woven belt and method for weaving a belt are disclosed. The belt includes a woven outer webbing defining a length, the outer webbing having a top layer and a bottom. A plurality of binder yarns are woven into the outer webbing to secure together the top and bottom layers. The binder yarns are aligned substantially parallel to one another and to the length. A plurality of stuffer yarns extend through the top and bottom layers of the outer webbing and between the binder yarns. A plurality of simulated chain stitch yarns are woven into the outer webbing, the simulated chain stich yarns being aligned substantially parallel to one another and to the length.
