Corduroy and Needlecord
Corduroy is most often made from cotton and is a textile with a distinctive texture—a raised "cord" or wale. The 'wale' is measured by how many of the raised 'wale's' there are per inch. Jumbo cord would have a lower wale number whereas a needlecord has finer ribs ans would have a much higher wale, from 14 - 18. number
