Clothing , in particular a forming screen, for a machine for producing or processing a material web, in particular a tissue web, comprising a first woven-fabric layer (L1) which provides a web material contact side and is formed by interweaving first longitudinal threads (LF1) that run in the clothing longitudinal direction and first transverse threads (QF1) that run in the clothing cross direction (CD), and a second woven-fabric layer (L2) which provides a machine contact side and is formed by interweaving second longitudinal threads (LF2) that run in the clothing longitudinal direction and second transverse threads (QF2) that run in the clothing cross direction (CD), wherein the first woven-fabric layer (L1) and the second woven-fabric layer (L2) are connected to one another by binding threads; wherein the clothing has more first longitudinal threads (LF1) than second longitudinal threads (LF2), but the number of first longitudinal threads (LF1) is at most double the number of second longitudinal threads (LF2); and wherein the weaving pattern of the clothing recurs in repeats, and the second transverse threads (QF2) in each repeat form at least two contact flotations (KF1, KF2, KF3) on the machine contact side; wherein all contact flotations (KF1, KF2, KF3) of the second transverse threads (QF2) have a length of at most two, characterized in that the first longitudinal threads (LF1) and the second longitudinal threads (LF2) in each repeat are disposed in a plurality of groups (G1, G2), specifically at least one first group (G1) and one second group (G2), wherein the first group (G1) is formed from one first longitudinal thread (LF1) and one second longitudinal thread (LF2) which are disposed exactly on top of one another in the thickness direction (T) of the clothing , while the second group (G2) is formed from two first longitudinal threads (LF1) and one second longitudinal thread (LF2), wherein none of the two first longitudinal threads (LF1) of the second group (G2) is disposed exactly above the one second longitudinal thread (LF2) of the second group (G2) in the thickness direction (T) of the clothing . wherein the clothing has more first longitudinal threads (LF1) than second longitudinal threads (LF2), but the number of first longitudinal threads (LF1) is at most double the number of second longitudinal threads (LF2); and wherein the weaving pattern of the clothing recurs in repeats, and the second transverse threads (QF2) in each repeat form at least two contact flotations (KF1, KF2, KF3) on the machine contact side; wherein all contact flotations (KF1, KF2, KF3) of the second transverse threads (QF2) have a length of at most two, characterized in that the first longitudinal threads (LF1) and the second longitudinal threads (LF2) in each repeat are disposed in a plurality of groups (G1, G2), specifically at least one first group (G1) and one second group (G2), wherein the first group (G1) is formed from one first longitudinal thread (LF1) and one second longitudinal thread (LF2) which are disposed exactly on top of one another in the thickness direction (T) of the clothing , while the second group (G2) is formed from two first longitudinal threads (LF1) and one second longitudinal thread (LF2), wherein none of the two first longitudinal threads (LF1) of the second group (G2) is disposed exactly above the one second longitudinal thread (LF2) of the second group (G2) in the thickness direction (T) of the clothing . <EOS>
