What is Cotton Corduroy?
Corduroy is a durable, textured fabric woven with vertical ribs or “wales,” which give it its characteristic look and feel. The term “needlecord” refers to finer, more delicate ribs, typically resulting in a softer texture. This particular cotton corduroy fabric is a 21-wale version, which means the ribs are finer and closer together, offering a soft, velvety touch while maintaining the fabric’s signature durability and warmth.
