Russell cord is a finely corded fabric, generally constructed with a cotton warp and worsted weft (filling).
[1] Russell cord is visually similar to a very narrow-waled corduroy called pincord, but it is heavier and more sturdy.
It is usually woven using 40% cotton and 60% wool (or similar compositions depending on the weaver).
It is woven using thicker strands so is heavier than princetta.
Russell cord is a hardwearing fabric and generally keeps its shape for many years, unlike cotton or polyester which creases easily.
