Corduroy Fabric Cotton 6 Wales

Corduroy Fabric Cotton 6 Wales, Durable and Textured

Corduroy Fabric Cotton 6 Wales is a stretch corduroy with a bold, clearly visible rib structure. The 6 wales refers to the number of ribs per inch, giving this fabric a chunky, textured look that's quite different from the finer needlecord variants. Made from 97% cotton and 3% elastane, it combines a classic corduroy feel with just enough give to move comfortably. You'll find it here by the metre, ready for jackets, trousers, skirts and even upholstery projects.

Fabric specifications

This corduroy runs 140 cm wide and weighs 325 g/m², a weight that sits comfortably between lightweight and heavy corduroy, so it drapes well without feeling flimsy. The yarn is ring-spun, which gives the fabric a slightly irregular, natural surface rather than a machine-perfect finish. Stretch runs across the width only, not lengthwise, which is worth knowing when you cut pattern pieces. Product code R6608 identifies this specific quality in our system.

What this corduroy is used for

The pronounced ribs and sturdy weight make this fabric a natural fit for outerwear and structured garments. Common applications include:

• Jackets and blazers for both men and women
• Trousers and casual skirts that need body and shape retention
• Upholstery work, where the texture adds warmth to a room

Because of the width stretch, garments made from this fabric move with the body without losing the classic corduroy silhouette. That's a practical advantage for fitted trousers or jackets where comfort matters as much as structure.

Ordering by the metre

We sell this Corduroy Fabric Cotton 6 Wales by the metre, so you order exactly what your project needs. Wholesale pricing kicks in from 6 metres, and it's also available on a full roll of 50 metres for larger production runs. Want to check the color and hand-feel first? A fabric sample costs 0.50 euro, a small cost that saves you from ordering the wrong shade. Everything ships from our warehouse in Tilburg, whether you're a home sewist or ordering for a workshop.

If you're also working on lighter-weight projects, the Needlecord Fabric Cotton 21 Wales offers a finer rib for shirts and dresses, while this 6 wale version stays the better pick for anything that needs more structure and visible texture.
