Why is it masculine?

Tissus (fabric) is masculine. It derives from the Latin past participle "tissutus" (woven), which comes from "texere" (to weave). In French, nouns derived from Latin past participles ending in -us typically retained masculine gender, as -us endings in Latin were predominantly masculine. This pattern was preserved as the word evolved through Old French "tissu" to modern French.
