Polyester Whipcord fabric is made of hard-twisted yarns with a diagonal cord or rib.The weave used for whipcord is a steep-angled twill, essentially the same weave as a cavalry twill or a steep gabardine. However, the ribs of whipcord are usually more pronounced than in either of those fabrics, and the weft (filling) may be visible between the ribs on the right side, which is usually not the case for gabardines. Whipcord is usually found in durable outdoor clothing typically pants, sometimes jackets or in durable workers' clothing typically overalls. In the latter case, whipcord is an alternative to duck, which has a different weave. Whipcord should not be confused with corduroy. Whipcord has a hard smooth finish with diagonal ribs. Corduroy is fuzzy with vertical ribs.Content:100% Textured PolyesterStructure:61/62 Inches Wide First Quality FabricHand:Polyester Whipcord has a smooth and hard surfaceLuster:This fabric has some sheenTips and Tricks:Use a nap layout even though the nap is not obvious.
