A1: The two fabrics mainly differ in how long they last and how easy they are to care for. Cotton corduroy feels much softer against the skin and lets air pass through well, but it has a few downsides. It's prone to shrinking after washing, creases really easily, and its color will fade a lot after repeated laundries.
Polyester corduroy is built with sturdy polyester threads, and it performs far better in daily use. It barely wrinkles at all, holds its color well through washes, and won't lose its original shape or shrink. It also stands up better to constant rubbing and wear, so it's a great pick for furniture that gets lots of use and work clothes.

A2: Our standard MOQ (Minimum Order Quantity) for Polyester Cord Fabric is 800 meters per color. However, we understand that startups and fashion brands may need smaller quantities for sampling or small-batch collections. We offer a low MOQ option starting from 100 meters for selected solid colors. Please contact our sales team to confirm the MOQ for your specific color and width requirements.

A3: Sure thing. We're able to supply physical color charts and complete swatch binders covering every fabric style we carry. Physical samples let you see real-life shades, softness and rib grain clearly-far more reliable than any digital screen preview. We arrange DHL or FedEx dispatch within 24 hours once you place a swatch request. All color cards come at no material cost; you only take care of the delivery charge.

A4: Yes, our fabric is suitable for outdoor furniture, but with some considerations. Because polyester has good UV resistance and does not absorb moisture, it resists mildew and rot better than natural fibers. However, for long-term outdoor exposure, we recommend applying an additional UV-protective coating. For standard patio cushions or indoor-outdoor use, our fabric performs excellently with minimal fading.

A5: Our standard poly corduroy fabric comes in a usable width of 145 cm (57 inches) , with a tolerance of ±2 cm. The fabric weight varies depending on the wale (rib) size. Our most popular style weighs approximately 280 GSM (grams per square meter) , which is suitable for jackets and bags. We also offer lightweight options at 200 GSM for shirts and heavyweight options at 350 GSM for sofas. Please check the spec sheet for exact data.

A6: To maintain the texture of your fabric, we recommend machine washing in cold water (below 30°C) with a gentle cycle. Turn the fabric inside out to reduce friction on the pile surface. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, as they may affect the polyester fibers. Tumble dry on low heat or hang to dry. Because our poly corduroy is wrinkle-resistant, ironing is usually not required, but if necessary, use a cool iron on the reverse side.
