Needlecord
Needlecord is a finer, lightweight version of corduroy with narrow, closely spaced ribs (also known as “wales”). Its smooth texture makes it softer and more flexible, ideal for tailored garments like shirts, dresses, and children’s wear. Its lighter weight nature offers comfort, breathability, and a refined look, perfect for everyday wear.

Corduroy
Corduroy, with its wider, more pronounced wales, is thicker and more durable. This fabric provides excellent warmth and durability, making it great for trousers, jackets, and upholstery. Corduroy’s timeless style adds texture and structure to outfits, offering versatility in casual and formal settings.
