Italian term

cotone sostenuto

Italian to English Other Textiles / Clothing / Fashion
From a list of garment descriptions (so no other context or images I'm afraid). Is "cotone sostenuto" in the descriptions "Pantalone corte in **cotone sostenuto** con struttura diagonale" simply "robust cotton" or something similar, or does it have a specific meaning that escapes me? Thanks for your help.

cotton twill

Cotton twill is a weave pattern that’s characterized by diagonal lines on the face of the fabric. Cotton twill results in a sturdy fabric—in fact, denim, chino, gabardine, and drill are all types of twill fabric that you’ll recognize as popular pants’ material. Denim and chino in particular make for durable, high-quality pants and trousers. As your source text states "struttura diagonale", I thought this appropriate. There is a good closeup photo in the website.
Example sentence:

100% cotton twill and its variations (denim, chino, gabardine) are easy to spot clean as well as machine-wash.

sturdy

or the robust you suggest. Twill is a diagonal weave that is often described either as sturdy or robust. Don't think you need to worry about a "technical" term, just one that conveys the idea of "sostenuto"
