An improved woven fabric that is relatively stiff in the filling direction and relatively flexible in the warp direction by virtue of the filling yarns in the fabric being stiffer than the warp yarns in the fabric, wherein the improvement comprises the filling yarns comprise resin bonded multifilament yarns. The product has particular utility in seat belt safety harnesses with belt coiling mechanisms. It is preferred that the resin be a polyurethane in an amount of 0.4-2.0 weight percent; that the filling yarns be twistless polyester multifilament. The process involves the application of an uncured resin to the filling yarns prior to weaving, and curing the uncured resin, preferably after weaving during an otherwise conventional dyeing procedure.
