Corduroy, also known as rib fabric or rib velvet, is a well-known fashion fabric. At Verhees Textiles, you'll find several qualities of corduroy, including the Washed Cord 4.5W with the widest rib, and the Babycord 21W, both available in 30 colours. Additionally, we offer rib velvet such as Babycord Stretch 28W, Washed Cord Stretch 8W, and corduroy with irregular ribs and a bubble effect. These plain basics are not all – cheerful children's prints on fine corduroy are a must! The prints on this fine rib velvet add a playful twist to the fabric, making it even more suitable for children's clothing. The prints on baby rib are often slightly darker, as this fabric quality is intended for autumn and winter. Nevertheless, the designs are cheerful and executed in trendy colours.
Corduroy fabric is typically made from cotton and woven with an extra thread. This thread is cut after weaving, creating the velvet ribs of the fabric. In the case of Corduroy with 21 wales, the baby rib, these ribs are very fine. The soft and velvety texture makes the fabric comfortable to wear. Additionally, the fabric is of strong quality, making it durable and resistant to wear. Here are the properties of corduroy at a glance:
The sturdiness and wear resistance make corduroy ideal for garments such as trousers, skirts, and jackets. It provides comfort, warmth, and a trendy appearance. Even with intensive use, corduroy clothing will last a long time. Due to its strength, rib velvet is not only suitable for clothing but also used for accessories and furniture upholstery. All in all, corduroy is a functional and versatile fabric.
The range of rib velvet colours at Verhees Textiles includes both classic basics and trendy colours that fit the fashion scene. From warm autumn tones to vibrant summer colours, there is a wide range of over 30 colours in Corduroy 4.5W and Babycord 21W. These plain colours combine beautifully with the trendy children's prints on Babycord. The prints range from sweet hearts and flowers to occasional butterflies or boho-themed designs.
