As a non-native speaker, the word ‘awning’ feels very rare. I have never heard of it. Does every native speaker know this word, or is it some upper class description with a more common known sibbling?
Without grabbing a thesaurus, I am not sure if there is an equivalent synonym. I’d probably expect around a minimum of 80% of native speakers to know the word.
Are his pants made out of awning, or is the awning made out of pants???

It’s pretty common. It just doesn’t need to be addressed that often. Like towels, you’re not going to bring them up unless they’re relevant.
