Watchbands with buckles and woven fabrics

A watchband comprising:

• a base formed by interwoven base threads;
• an engagement ribbon formed by interwoven ribbon threads and defining coupling regions coupled to the base and loops extending away from the base;
• a coupling thread extending continuously to form:
• coupling portions directly interwoven with the base and the engagement ribbon at each of multiple coupling regions, wherein at the multiple coupling regions, the coupling thread makes multiple turns about the interwoven base threads and the interwoven ribbon threads;
• and
• hidden portions across from the loops of the engagement ribbon, the hidden portions extending entirely within the base;
• and
• a hook disposed at an end of the base and configured to engage one of the loops of the engagement ribbon.

A watchband comprising:

• a base formed by interwoven base threads, at least some of the base threads being elastic threads that extend longitudinally within the base to allow the base to stretch longitudinally;
• an engagement ribbon formed by interwoven inelastic threads that limit longitudinal elongation of the engagement ribbon;
• a coupling thread extending continuously to be directly interwoven with the base and the engagement ribbon at each of multiple coupling regions, wherein the engagement ribbon forms loops that extend away from the base and in response to the base being stretched longitudinally, a distance between an adjacent pair of coupling regions of the coupling regions increases and the loops collapse toward the base;
• and
• a hook disposed at an end of the base and configured to engage one of the loops of the engagement ribbon.
