Men's Corduroy Trousers

What is Corduroy Fabric?

Corduroy is a durable cotton fabric distinguished by vertical ridges, or "cords," that run along the length of the fabric. These cords are formed by extra weft yarns woven into the base fabric. The tight weave of the material and the raised cords cause resistance to wear and tear, making it a practical choice for clothing items that need to withstand regular use.

History of Corduroy

Corduroy has been favoured by many different groups of people since it’s invention. Initially considered a luxury fabric for the wealthy, by the middle of the 19th century it had become popular among the British working class for its warmth. Corduroy exploded in popularity during the 1960s and 1970s but has been a cornerstone of the Cordings collection for over 100 years.
