A stretch laminate having enhanced texture, and method for its manufacture is disclosed. The stretch laminate may include two nonwoven layers sandwiching an elastic member, the elastic member having been incorporated into the laminate in a pre-strained condition such that z-direction ruffles in the nonwoven materials are imparted to the laminate when it is in a relaxed condition. At least one of the nonwoven layers may be incrementally stretched or SELFed, adding a pattern of ridges and valleys to the material that combines with the ruffles, further enhancing loft and texture of the laminate.
