Relaxed 6 Wale Soft Washed Corduroy - Deep Sea

This beautiful 6 Wale Washed Corduroy has all those nostalgic, vintage vibes we love! It has the most amazing soft, floppy feel, like a favorite old shirt that's been washed and worn a hundred times. The wider, velvety cords give it a beautiful, pronounced texture, while the washed finish creates that relaxed, lived-in character that makes this fabric feel so special and effortlessly cool. It's cozy, comfortable, and full of personality without feeling heavy or stiff.

This washed corduroy features a 6-wale construction, meaning there are approximately six raised cords per inch. The wider wales give it a more pronounced, textured appearance than finer corduroys, while the washed finish creates an exceptionally soft, relaxed hand.

This corduroy is a lovely fabric to work with, especially if you're looking to explore sewing with textured fabrics. Its soft, flexible hand makes it comfortable to handle, and the wider wales are a beautiful feature to highlight in your finished garment. Keep in mind that corduroy has a nap, so you'll want to cut all your pattern pieces in the same direction to keep the color and texture consistent.

Choose this fabric for garments that need softness, movement, and a relaxed shape rather than crisp structure. Its floppy drape works beautifully for oversized silhouettes, allowing the fabric to fall naturally and feel comfortable against the body. It's especially nice for casual layers and easygoing pieces that look even better with a little rumpled, lived-in character.

Great for:

• Oversized workshirts and button-up shirts
• Relaxed overshirts and shackets
• Easygoing chore coats
• Loose-fitting trousers and pull-on pants
• Casual jumpsuits and overalls
• Relaxed skirts and pinafores

We recommend prewashing your fabric before cutting, as 100% cotton may shrink. Machine wash cold with like colors, turning the fabric or finished garment inside out to help protect the raised texture. Tumble dry low or hang to dry. Avoid high heat and heavy pressing, which can flatten the corduroy pile. If needed, gently steam from the reverse side to refresh the fabric.

We do our best to photograph our fabrics as accurately as possible, but colors may vary slightly depending on your screen settings. We always recommend ordering a swatch if you're unsure about a color.
