Twill and plain weaves are two common types of weaves used in fire hose jackets. Plain weaving is the simplest method, in which warp and weft threads alternate over and under each other at 90 degrees, forming a crisscross pattern. 

In twill weaves, a "weft thread is passed over one or more warp threads and then under two or more warp threads and so on, with a ‘step’ or offset between rows to create the characteristic diagonal pattern." This makes fabrics closer in texture, heavier, and stronger than plain weaves do. The major advantages of twill fabric are that it is durable and wears well, and resists soiling. In addition, the reduced number of interlacing’s in twill fabric allows the yarns a greater range of motion and freer movement. A reverse twill weave of the inner jacket also promotes a smooth waterway.
