Stretch Corduroy Fabrics by the Metre

Stretch corduroy fabric combines the classic ribbed look of corduroy with added elastane for movement and comfort. At Rijs Textiles you find this fabric by the metre, ready for jackets, trousers, skirts and upholstery projects. The ribs, known as wales, run in vertical lines and give the fabric its familiar texture and depth. Because of the stretch content, garments made from this fabric keep their shape while allowing you to move freely.

Why choose stretch corduroy

Corduroy has always been valued for its durability and warm appearance, but the addition of elastane makes it far more practical for everyday clothing. A pair of trousers cut from stretch corduroy fabric moves with the body instead of restricting it. The fabric also holds up well to regular wear, which is why it works for both fashion pieces and upholstered furniture. The ribbed surface catches light in a way that gives garments a slightly richer, more textured finish than flat woven cotton.

Understanding wales: 6 versus 21

The number of wales tells you how many ribs run per inch of fabric. A lower number means wider, more pronounced ribs, while a higher number gives a finer, smoother texture.

  • Corduroy Fabric Cotton 6 Wales has broad, chunky ribs. This gives the fabric more body and structure, suited to jackets, workwear-style trousers and upholstery where a robust look is wanted.
  • Needlecord Fabric Cotton 21 Wales has narrow, fine ribs and a softer hand. This makes it a better match for dresses, skirts and lighter garments where drape matters more than structure.

Composition and specifications

Both stretch corduroy qualities in our range are made from 97% cotton and 3% elastane, giving width stretch for ease of movement. They are woven with ring yarn, which gives a slightly irregular, natural surface compared to fabrics spun from combed yarn. The 6 wales version has a weight of 325 g/m² and the 21 wales version 260 g/m², both available at 140 cm width. The heavier 6 wales fabric suits structured pieces and upholstery, while the lighter 21 wales works well for garments that need to fall softly.

What you can make with it

Stretch corduroy fabric is used across a wide range of projects. Jackets and coats benefit from the ribbed texture and the added stretch for a comfortable fit. Trousers and skirts made from this fabric sit well on the body without pulling or gaping. Furniture upholstered in corduroy gets a warm, tactile finish that ages well. The fabric also works for bags and other accessories where a distinctive surface texture adds interest to an otherwise simple design.

Ordering and pricing

You order stretch corduroy fabric by the metre, with wholesale pricing available from 6 metres or on full rolls of 50 metres for larger projects. This makes the range suitable for individual makers as well as businesses working with volume.

Frequently asked questions about Stretch Corduroy Fabrics

What is stretch corduroy fabric?

Stretch corduroy fabric is a ribbed cotton fabric with a small percentage of elastane added, usually around 3%. This gives the fabric width stretch, so garments made from it move with the body while keeping the classic corduroy texture.

What do 6 wales and 21 wales mean?

Wales refers to the number of ribs per inch of fabric. 6 wales has wide, pronounced ribs and a sturdier feel, suited to jackets and upholstery. 21 wales has fine, narrow ribs and a softer drape, better suited to dresses and skirts.

Can you stretch corduroy fabric?

Yes, when elastane is added to the cotton base, corduroy gains width stretch. Our stretch corduroy fabrics contain 97% cotton and 3% elastane, giving enough give for comfortable, close-fitting garments.

Is stretch corduroy fabric suitable for upholstery?

The heavier 6 wales corduroy, at 325 g/m², is well suited to upholstery thanks to its durability and structured ribs. The lighter 21 wales version is generally better reserved for clothing rather than furniture.

Can I order a fabric sample before buying?

Yes, you can order a fabric sample for 0.50 euro. This lets you check the colour, weight and rib texture before ordering the full length you need.

What is the minimum order quantity for stretch corduroy fabric?

You can order any length by the metre. Wholesale pricing becomes available from 6 metres, and full rolls of 50 metres are also an option for larger projects.
