- Flatter different body types: We offer a range of fits and styles to cater to various body shapes and sizes, ensuring everyone finds their perfect corduroy match.

While cotton is the most common material, corduroy can also be made from:
- Wool: Offering extra warmth and a slightly rougher texture.
- Synthetic blends: Combining cotton's breathability with synthetics' wrinkle resistance and affordability.
Corduroy comes in various thicknesses, measured by the number of wales per inch (WPI):
- Manchester corduroy (8-10 WPI): Classic thick wales for a robust look, often used in pants and jackets.
- Babycord (20-25 WPI): Fine, narrow wales for a soft, smooth appearance, ideal for shirts and dresses.
- Pinwale corduroy (25-32 WPI): Extremely fine wales for a sophisticated, dressy look, often seen in accessories like scarves and hats.
- Velveteen (over 32 WPI): Superfine wales for a luxurious, plush texture, similar to velvet.
The sustainability of corduroy depends on the material and production process:
- Organic cotton: Grown without harmful chemicals, reducing environmental impact.
- Recycled materials: Repurposed fibers offer a more environmentally friendly option.
- Fair trade: Ensures ethical treatment of workers and fair wages.
Look for brands that prioritize sustainable practices and certifications to ensure your corduroy choices align with your values.
Caring For Corduroy
Learn how to properly wash your corduroy clothes with these easy tips.
- Always check the care label for specific instructions.
- Generally, machine wash on a gentle cycle with cool water and mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals like bleach.
- Turn garments inside out to protect the wales.
- Use a mesh laundry bag for added protection, especially for delicate pieces.
- Hang dry or tumble dry on low heat. Avoid high heat, which can shrink or damage the fabric.
- Ironing directly on the fabric can crush the wales. Steam or use a pressing cloth instead.
Here are some effective methods for removing wrinkles from corduroy garments.
- Steaming is the best way to remove wrinkles. Use a garment steamer or hold the garment over a boiling pot of water, keeping a safe distance.
- Do not iron directly on the fabric. You can use an iron on a low setting with a pressing cloth, but be careful not to flatten the wales.
- Brushing the fabric with a soft brush in the direction of the wales can help smooth minor wrinkles.
Learn the best ways to store your corduroy clothes with these helpful tips.
- Store corduroy garments hanging on sturdy hangers to prevent sagging. Avoid folding, as it can create permanent creases.
- Use padded hangers for heavier items like jackets.
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Sunlight can fade the color and damage the fabric.
- Invest in cedar hangers or mothballs to deter pests.
