What is needlecord

Needlecord is a corduroy fabric with narrow, closely spaced ribs, also known as wales. This fabric has 21 wales, which means the ribs are fine and subtle compared to heavier corduroy types. The fabric is woven using a twill weave and finished with a soft touch, creating a matte appearance without harsh shine. Thanks to the stretch across the width, the fabric drapes smoothly on the body and gives you that bit of freedom of movement you want in garments. The breathable properties make it suitable year-round, from lightweight transition jackets to warmer winter pieces.
