What is Small Knitted Corduroy Jersey?
While “regular” corduroy is usually a woven fabric, knitted corduroy is, as the name suggests, knitted. The ribs are created within the knit structure, making the fabric more elastic and softer against the skin. The term small refers to the fine wale: a subtle, elegant rib that gives a premium look without feeling bulky.
