What is Corduroy?
Corduroy is a textile known for its distinct ridged pattern, called “wales.” These raised stripes are formed by weaving extra sets of yarn into the base fabric, which are then cut and brushed to create a soft, velvety pile. Traditionally made from cotton, modern corduroy can also incorporate blends of other fibers for enhanced durability and flexibility.
The fabric’s roots trace back to ancient Egypt, but it gained widespread popularity in Europe during the 18th century. Over the years, corduroy has evolved into a symbol of classic yet casual style, prized for its plush feel and timeless appeal.
At Fatboy, our corduroy products are designed with durable materials to maintain their shape and texture through everyday use.
