Corduroy fabric is a woven pile fabric with a distinctive ribbed surface. The vertical ribs, also called wales, give the fabric a soft texture and recognizable appearance. Depending on the yarn, construction and finishing, corduroy fabric can be developed for casual garments, fashion garments, children’s wear and outerwear.
Compared with plain woven fabrics, corduroy fabric has stronger surface texture and a warmer hand feel. It is especially suitable for autumn and winter clothing, but lighter corduroy fabric can also be used for spring casual garments.
