What is needlecord

Needlecord is the finest variant in the corduroy family, recognizable by its narrow ribs that sit close together. The fabric is woven using a twill weave technique that keeps the ribs straight and even. Adding elastane gives you stretch across the width, which means extra comfort without sacrificing body or structure. The matte finish and medium drape let the fabric fall nicely while keeping enough shape for tailored silhouettes. It breathes well too, making it wearable year-round.
