Velour is a textile, a knitted counterpart of velvet. It combines
the stretchy properties of knits such as spandex with the rich
appearance and feel of velvet. Velour is used in dancewear for the
ease of movement it affords, and is also popular for warm,
colorful casual clothing. Plush velour seats are an option on many
luxury vehicles.
Cotton velour is treated with flame retardant chemicals when used
in this application. Cotton stage and theatre curtains should be
checked with an open flame every 5 to 7 years after manufacture to
ensure continued flame resistance.
