Description
A proper wardrobe staple in a particularly good cloth, this Italian ex-designer black corduroy has a classic 10 wale construction, giving you approximately 10 pronounced ribs per inch. In black, the pile does all the interesting work: depending on the direction and the light, the surface moves between an inky matt black and a deeper velvety sheen. At 366gsm, it has plenty of substance and structure, making it an excellent alternative to denim or heavy cotton twill.
The composition is 97% cotton with 3% elastane, giving less than 5% stretch across the weft for a little additional comfort without making the fabric feel obviously stretchy. Black makes this perhaps the most versatile of the Milano colours: trousers, jackets, skirts, pinafores, waistcoats, dresses and chore coats would all work beautifully. If you've been looking for a good black cord for a pair of trousers you'll actually wear repeatedly, this would be very difficult to argue with.

Care & washing
Allow 2-10% shrinkage to be on the safe side. Wash the fabric before making up, in the same way you'll wash the finished make, drying methods included, so it settles once rather than after it's sewn.
Test a sample area first to find the most suitable way to wash it. We can't accept liability for fabrics washed or treated incorrectly.
