PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a woven fabric excellent in tension, stiffness, resilience, surface softness and touch combined with natural touch and useful for worsted fabric-like fabrics and the like by treating a grey fabric comprising polyester fibers or the like under specific conditions. SOLUTION: This method for producing a woven fabric comprises processing a grey fabric comprising polyester fibers or both the polyester fibers and other fibers in a scouring and relaxing process or in a wet-thermal treatment process corresponding to the scouring and relaxing process to obtain the fabric having a woven fabric area rate of 39-79% based on that of the grey fabric, and subsequently extending the obtained fabric so that a woven fabric area rate after a final finishing process is larger by at least 1% than that after the scouring and relaxing process or the wet- thermal treatment process corresponding to the scouring and relaxing process and so that the woven fabric area rate of the final product is 40-85% based on that of the grey fabric. Therein, polyester multi-filaments having a crystallization degree of <=5% and a boiling water shrinkage rate of >=20% and extended in a larger length by a dry thermal treatment after a boiling water treatment than that by the boiling water treatment are preferably used as at least a part of warps and/or wefts of the grey fabric. |
