Stretch Corduroy with Unbleached Washed Effect

The Stretch Cotton Corduroy with Washed Effect in Unbleached is a full-bodied, soft and durable corduroy, perfect for making up comfortable garments with a natural and timeless style. Its unbleached colour, which is bright and slightly warm, combines with the washed effect to achieve a relaxed finish with a subtle vintage washed feel that enhances the fabric’s texture.

This corduroy stands out for its characteristic ribbed texture and soft, velvety surface, which adds depth and dimension. Its weight (gsm) of 282 gives it a medium-to-heavy weight, ideal for garments that require some structure without being overly stiff.

Its composition of 98% cotton and 2% elastane combines the pleasant feel of cotton with a slight stretch across the fabric width, providing greater comfort and freedom of movement. It has a fabric width of 140 cm and is an excellent choice for both adult and children's clothing.

Suggested uses: corduroy trousers, skirts, jackets, overshirts, dungarees, dresses, waistcoats and children's garments.The unbleached with a washed effect is a particularly versatile neutral shade that pairs beautifully with sand, camel, cognac, brown, olive green, terracotta, dusty pink, bluish grey or denim. An excellent choice for creating garments with a natural, casual, urban or vintage feel.

Sewing tip: we recommend washing the fabric before cutting to allow for the cotton fabric’s natural shrinkage. As this is a corduroy with a pile and rib knit, lay all pattern pieces in the same direction to maintain a uniform look and shade. Iron preferably on the reverse side and without applying too much pressure to avoid flattening the corduroy’s raised texture.
