A muted blue carrying grey, calmer than denim blue and softer than navy. A shade that works almost by itself beside natural tones.
This pile is finely ribbed, soft to touch without turning velvety. At 320 g/m² your cloth is sturdy enough for trousers or jackets, while 5 % elastane lets it give crosswise, so it sits comfortably. Wash at 30 degrees, keep it out of your tumble dryer — either would attack that pile. Skip your iron as well; steam from a distance is enough.
One point decides how corduroy turns out: lay every piece facing the same nap direction when you cut. Otherwise two trouser legs read as different shades later, although they came from one length.
What Swafing Cord Nicky Juna HW26/27 Rauchblau 258 is suitable for
- Trousers for adults, because smoke blue stays understated.
- Shirt dresses and dresses, because this shade never dominates.
- Pairings with natural white, because together they read calm.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to watch the nap when cutting?
Yes, and with corduroy that is the main rule. Run your hand across it: one way feels smooth, the other rough. Lay every pattern piece facing the same way, or they will look different shades later.
Does this corduroy stretch?
Yes, 5 % elastane lets it give crosswise. That makes trousers comfortable and forgives sitting down, but it also means: cut precisely, never stretch while sewing, or your seams will ripple.
Which needle, which foot?
A sturdier universal needle will do, no special needle required. Because the pile creeps under your foot, a walking foot helps, or simply less presser foot pressure. Sew slowly, then your layers will not shift against each other.
Can I wear this all year round?
At 320 g/m² it is a sturdy cloth, so really one for autumn and winter. It suits transitional jackets and trousers well, while for summer clothing it runs too warm and too heavy.
