This is a classic needlecord with a clean, refined finish and a reassuring weight, woven from predominantly cotton with a small amount of elastane for ease of movement. The fine 21-wale rib gives it a smooth, understated look rather than a chunky cord feel, making it a versatile option that works just as well for smart sewing as it does for more relaxed, casual pieces. The black colour is deep and even, sitting comfortably in both modern and timeless wardrobes.
The fabric has a gentle stretch across the width, which makes it particularly comfortable for garments that benefit from a little flexibility, without losing shape or structure. It presses well, sews neatly, and holds detail nicely, making it a dependable choice for projects where fit and finish matter. Robust enough for regular wear, but still soft to the touch, this is a practical corduroy you’ll reach for again and again.
