1.8T Cora Fleece is a jumbo wale corduroy upholstery fabric at 350gsm on a 142cm width, bonded to a plush Cora fleece backing. The wale runs at 1.8 ribs across 25mm, so each rib is roughly 14mm wide and carries a full, rounded pile instead of the flat rib of a fine cord. The fleece back adds a soft reverse and enough body that the fabric holds its shape on armchairs and sofa covers. It is offered in cream, blush, dusty lilac, and khaki, with colour, weight, and width open to customization under OEM and ODM terms. Confirm backing weight, composition, abrasion resistance, and colourfastness on a physical sample.
Why source 1.8T Cora Fleece
- At 1.8 ribs per 25mm the wale is roughly 14mm wide, which gives the deep, rounded rib that reads as a jumbo cord rather than a fine corduroy.
- The plush pile sits high on each rib, so the surface catches light and shadow along every wale instead of reading flat.
- The Cora fleece backing adds a soft reverse and body, so no separate lining is needed for armchair and sofa cover work.
- Colour, weight, and width are all open to customization, so one reference can be developed to a buyer's own palette and hand.
- Armchair and sofa covers plus furniture refurbishment all fall inside the stated application range.
Verified Source Specifications
Fit and Confirmation Boundary
This product has no entry in the master product table, the yearly tag records, or the quotation sheet, and no model code has been issued. The 350gsm weight and 142cm width come from the printed specification on the product main image. The 1.8 wale density comes from your description of 1.8 ribs fitting across a 25mm coin diameter; that is a working measurement and should be verified against a physical wale count before it is published as a specification. The Cora fleece backing is named in the product name, but its gram weight, fiber content, and construction are not documented; the only Cora-linked master table record pairs Cora with a 130gsm brown fleece, which is a reference rather than this product's figure. Abrasion resistance, colourfastness, pile crush recovery, and fiber composition are unrecorded. The 142cm width is narrower than the 150cm to 155cm used on other cord qualities in the range, so cutting yield should be calculated on the actual width. Confirm all open points through physical sampling and quotation.
Common Questions
What does 1.8T mean?
It refers to the wale density: 1.8 ribs fit across a 25mm span, which works out to roughly 14mm per rib. That is a jumbo cord, considerably wider than a standard fine corduroy.
What is the backing?
The reverse is a Cora fleece, which gives a soft hand and enough body for upholstery without a separate lining.
Can the weight and width be changed?
Weight and width are both listed as customizable, along with colour, under OEM and ODM terms. The 350gsm and 142cm figures describe the current standard build.
What information is needed for a quotation?
Please provide the required colour, target weight and width, quantity, destination, and performance requirements.
