Thanks! I am looking at fabric.com.....They have something called "uncut corduroy". I wonder if this is it, because it sure looks like it. Thank you for the suggestion!
I made clothes with that a loooong time ago, and I think it was called brushed corduroy. It made cute jumpers for my girls when they were little.
YES! Way back when, I also made a jumper out of it. (this was probably back in about the 1970's). And I think I bought the fabric at JC Penneys, believe it or not, when ALL the stores sold fabric...probably paid about 99 cents a yard for it.
