Featherwale (also known as baby wale or pinwale) corduroy is an excellent topweight fabric for Autumn and Winter. Insulating and aesthetically rich in texture, this 21 wale fabric is less structured and much lighter in weight (around 5 oz/sq yard) than bottomweight corduroys. It works up more similarly to flannels and cotton poplins than pants and jackets. We recommend making gathered dresses, skirts, and tops! Forest Slate 21W – Cotton Featherwale Corduroy quantity
