Corduroy is a twill weave fabric with thick vertical ribs, making it thick, durable, and cosy. It also has a unique ability to look both dressed up and comfortable at the same time, making it perfect for any occasion. Whether you are looking for a new pair of pants for work or a cosy shirt for the weekend, corduroy is the perfect fabric for you.
Corduroy and needlecord are two classic dressmaking fabrics that have been around for centuries. Both fabrics are typically made from 100% cotton and are incredibly durable and comfortable to wear. Corduroy is typically 14 wales per inch and has a shorter pile than regular corduroy, making it ideal for garments that require a bit of extra give, like pants or skirts. Needlecord has finer ribs and is 14 to 18 cords per inch, giving it a lighter weight fabric that is perfect for shirts, dresses, and light jackets. We have a wide selection of both corduroy and needlecord in stock, in a variety of colours and patterns. So whatever your needs, we've got you covered.
