A refined gray cotton corduroy with a fine 20-wale rib that reads clean, modern, and highly versatile. At 240 GSM, this is a light-to-midweight corduroy—soft, wearable, and adaptable—yet still unmistakably “cord” in character. The neutral gray has depth without flatness, making it equally at home in contemporary minimal garments or understated heritage pieces. This is a thoughtful, everyday corduroy that balances comfort, durability, and tactile interest.

2) How It’s Made

This is a woven cut-pile corduroy built on a warp-faced rib structure. After weaving, the pile is precisely cut to create the narrow 20-wale ribs, then lightly brushed to refine the surface and enhance handfeel. It is piece-dyed to achieve an even gray tone while maintaining the natural cotton character of the cloth.

4) Handfeel & Drape
