To provide the subject fabric of long service life capable of improving paper stock smoothness, paper stock supportability and joint strength, and having good dewatering tendency as well.

This fabric 1A is composed of wefts vertically disposed in four layers comprising 10 1st-layer wefts 21, 10 1st-layer auxiliary wefts 211 woven in between the respectively adjoining 1st-layer wefts, 10 2nd-layer wefts 22, 5 3rd-layer wefts 23, 5 4th-layer wefts 24 and single-layer warps 3 interweaving all of the above wefts; the single warp/quadruple weft structure of this fabric is such that the comprehensive construction is given by the aid of the 10 warps 3, the papermaking face side represents a dense construction, while the running face side coarse construction, and the 3rd-layer wefts 23 are disposed in a slightly longitudinally shifted manner from just under the 2nd-layer wefts 22, and the 4th-layer wefts 24 have long crimps equivalent to nine warps projectedly on the running face side, while the 1st-layer wefts 21 have crimps equivalent to six warps projectedly on the papermaking face side.
