Corduroy

Corduroy is a fabric with evenly spaced vertical rows of soft pile. It is classified by the number of lengthwise pile rows per inch—feather cord has 20-25; pinwale has 16-23; regular wale has 14; wide wale has 6-10; and broad wale has 3-5. (feather cord rows look very thin and board wale rows are very thick) It is a great material for clothing, accessories and homewares.
