Also called pique or raised weave, it is a thick fabric with a double warp or weft weave, with horizontal ridges, diamonds, or other patterns on the surface due to the seams. Sometimes Bedford cord, which has vertical ridges, is called pique. It is made from silk, wool, cotton, synthetic fibers, etc., and is very thick and durable, so it is used for summer hats, women's clothing, chair covers, blouses, etc.
