Description:

A warm tan bedford cord that is very hardwearing. Bedford cord has faint lengthwise ridges without the raised pile of regular corduroy which gives the effect of a narrow stripe on the cloth.

Ideal for coats, jackets, trousers, over shirts and dresses that require structure. We would make a pair of Eve trousers or a pair of Harlenes.

100% cotton.

Washing Instructions

We recommend pre washing your cloth before sewing. Putting a large piece of medium-heavy weight cloth into the washing machine can sometimes lead to white creases in the cloth, this is because it is a stiff fabric so it doesn’t have room to move around. We recommend doing the following to help this not to happen:

Wash your cloth on its own for the first wash.
Sink your cloth in water before hand, letting it fully absorb, so you are putting in the cloth already wet.
If you can break up your fabric into half this will help.
For the first wash use a delicate 30 degree cycle with a low spin.
If any white creases develop ironing whilst still damp will help.
Do not tumble dry.

When you have made the garment we would recommend washing it inside out.
