Why Buyers Choose 16 Wale Corduroy

16 wale corduroy, also written as 16W corduroy, has finer and tighter wales than classic wide-wale corduroy, which makes it lighter, softer and easier to tailor. For garment makers it offers the texture buyers want with a cleaner drape for trousers and skirts.

Polyester corduroy has practical advantages over cotton for export orders: it holds color well through washing, resists shrinking and wrinkles, and handles humid climates better than heavier natural cords. That is why it is a growing choice for school uniforms and workwear in ASEAN and Africa.

We produce 16 wale corduroy from 220 GSM for lighter skirts to 300 GSM for structured trousers and outerwear. Stock shades ship in 3–7 days; bulk production runs 20–30 days after deposit and lab dip approval.

Applications

16 wale corduroy suits trousers and skirts, jackets, school and work uniforms, and outerwear. Its fine wale keeps garments looking neat even after repeated wear, which matters for institutional orders.

Customization

We can adjust GSM, width, wale softness and finish. Custom colors use Pantone/TCX matching with lab dip in 3–5 days. Printing and lamination feasibility is confirmed per order — details pending actual factory capability.

Packing & Shipping

Standard packing is 25–50 m per roll with poly bag and woven outer bag. We ship FOB Ningbo or Shanghai with export documents to your market, including SONCAP and PVoC where required.
