Corduroy woven with alternating wide and narrow wales is called "parent-child corduroy." Perhaps the wide wales are the "parents" and the narrow wales the "children"? Compared to regular corduroy, parent-child corduroy has a more three-dimensional look and a bulkier texture. We used this fabric to create an oversized shirt that can also be worn as a jacket. Large patch Pocket are placed on both sides of the front, giving it a workwear-inspired finish.
