wide-wale corduroy

Expose texture with low-angle light: Use raking light (light grazing the surface from a side angle) to cast deep micro-shadows inside the grooves while illuminating the thick velvety crests. This creates strong tactile dimensionality across the frame.

Lock in the heavy scale: Without the "wide-wale" descriptor, generators frequently default to fine, thin micro-corduroy lines. Pair the term with heavyweight cotton weave to ensure broad, dramatic ridges.
